I'm confused....why would you want to/need to list all of the schools and colleges you attended? I am under the impression that the only listings required are ones where you *earned a degree*. Plus, I totally eliminate my high school degree...I have a BA and an MEd, no one cares about my HS diploma.
I mean, come on, I took two community college classes before graduating high school. Then, I took a summer school class at a different community college while at the 4-year university. So, using your method, my resume should look like this:
Anyplace University
- MEd in Counselling, Expected June 2004
Mystate University
- BA in Human Development, 2001
Mycity College
- General Education course, 1998
Homecity College
- General Education Courses, 1994
Mytown High School
- General Education Diploma, 1995
Oh my....if I saw a resume like this, I'd file it....right into the trash.
Glitter, you ask, "is it necessary to put my freshman year school under the education section of my resume ? "
NO. NO. NO. Just put the university you earned your BA degree from and the community college where you got the certificate from.
I have *never ever* heard of an employer calling up a university registrar to confirm that an applicant attended a particular university from HS to finish. Eh? *If* they call (and that's IF) they only want to know if you *earned the degree you said you did*.
I have no idea why I sound so passionate about this....I guess I am just totally bewildered at some of the responses you've gotten. I worked in the Academic Counselling department of a university here in So Cal (I'm a university adminstrator) and part of my job was to field phone calls from employers in case they called to verify a student's credentials. Not only was it rare for an employer to call, but all they ever wanted to know was the degree and date of award.
Ah well...maybe things are different in different parts of the country?
Rudey hit it right on the head, only list the degree awarding institution unless you have some kind of extra special and relevant coursework elsewhere.
