pay down Georgia here with job
interview tools in this video we're
going to teach you how to write your
education section on your resume now
typically your education section goes
after your experience which is at the
end of your resume there are other
places to put your education you can
move it up to the beginning but for the
sake of this video I'm gonna go with
standard placement which is at the
bottom of your resume it's pretty easy
to do you want to start off and just
make a list of all your training
education that's relevant to the job
if you've already downloaded my resume
writing worksheet that you've already
done that step you filled out the
worksheet you know all the information
I'm asking for that you need to write
your section if you don't have this
there should be a link at the bottom of
this video where you can click and get
that PDF worksheet download it fill it
out and then this section will probably
make a lot more sense to you but there
isn't a lot to writing your education
section I'm really just going to show
you by example here and here's a few
different examples of what an education
section could look like we have a title
here called education we have a BA in
Business Administration from the Ohio
State University in Columbus Ohio in
1998 simple as that if you had a pretty
fancy GPA that you wanted to show off
you could put you know comma GPA you
know 4.0 you could also put you know
magna laude if you graduated with
honors things like that like we did here
Masters of Business Administration and
Finance from Baldwin Wallace College
backed up Mladic it's as simple as
that
there's no real set way to doing this
you can do it any way you want here's
another example here this person here
may have being in French and
international relations from
Pennsylvania they have another one here
they actually went to Paris they have a
certificate or commercial certificate in
1987 your education section you can list
certificates any kind of training or
college education that you have now
here's a good example of one where they
didn't graduate yet
they have expected completion date in
2018 and here's another one here
University launched an expected
completion date very optimistic there
but it's really kind of whatever you
want you're just telling them you know
where you went to school what you've
done when you're listing your degree for
example Bachelor of Arts it's a compute
come you can say be a B period a or just
spell out Bachelor of Arts it really
doesn't matter
this statement here understand the
market for your skills and avoid
appearing overqualified so let's say you
have a master's degree and you're
applying for jobs that don't require a
master's degree that master's degree
could end up hurting him it really
depends in some cases you might even
want to take it off right here consider
listing all non college education you
know such as training certifications
achievements you can put them directly
under your education section
I mean optionally you can create a new
section but I don't really think you
need to this is putting it all under
your education this section is going to
save you some space on your resume
because it's going to fill up rather
quickly now what if you don't have a
college degree I get asked this a lot in
my book experience speaks louder than
education
I've seen many job seekers who don't
have any college degrees making a lot of
money and all they have is a high school
diploma as their only formal education I
mean not having a college education or a
bachelor's degree can prevent you from
moving up the corporate ladder if you're
working in a big company like IBM Exxon
Mobil or something like that
if you're going to move into management
and things like that you're going to
want to have a bachelor's or master's
degree but for you to get by you really
don't need a college education smaller
companies I found personally I found
smaller companies to not be as concerned
with the college education
as larger companies they're more
concerned with people who could deliver
results who want to work who want to
work hard and and help the company grow
well while helping themselves advance
their careers but you know don't get me
wrong I mean a college Duke gives you a
huge advantage in your career but it's
not an absolute requirement there are
just so many other ways around it but if
you don't have it I wouldn't worry about
it now if you feel
you don't have any education to list I
really urge you to put something under
your education section even if you only
went to college for you know one quarter
you know just list that you attended
college and you know you don't have to
say that you graduated obviously you
didn't but you can say that you went
there list any kind of experience or not
experience but list any type of training
or seminars that you've been to or home
study courses or anything that's related
to the types of jobs that you're looking
for all of this is going to help other
ideas are associations achievements
professional training and certifications
now optionally if you don't have any
college work at all and you just don't
feel good about listing an education
section then just change your education
section to professional training or
professional development and that will
work just as well so let's go ahead and
add education to our resume and this
should pretty much complete it so what
I'm gonna do is I'm gonna list my
education here and then I um you don't
want a bullet point your education so
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna say we
went to the University of Washington we
have a bachelor's degree in business
administration and we graduated with
honors why not and there we go our
resume is a perfect one-page resume
actually we have a little bit more space
on there but you know this is just a
sample and the real deal tends to to
push the envelope on two pages pretty
quickly
okay that's all there is to it there's
five simple sections to your resume you
have your heading which we did you have
an objective you have a skills summer
your experience and your education
that's all there is to it
so now it's up to you to go and write
your resume with what you learned here
