by Anonymous
(Somewhere)

I have two different degrees from the same college. Should I list the college twice with each degree under each entry... or just list the name of the college with both degrees under it?

ANSWER: I would list the college once and the two degrees (with info) under it. Like so:

COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY, Raleigh,NC
BS Information Technology, 03/09 - Present
AS Information Technology, 01/08 - 03/09

How / Do you show a minor on your resume?

How would you show a minor on your resume or would you?

ANSWER: I would definitely show the minor on your resume, as it will give further insight into your educational background. For instance, you could say, "BS in Management, Minor in Informational Science" or some such. You could also include the Major if it is more specific than the degree designation.

How Do I Show Two Different Majors on My Resume?

by John
(Tuscaloosa, AL, USA)

I graduated with a degree in finance but returned to complete the necessary classes to sit for the CPA Exam. I now have enough hours in accounting to qualify as a major. Now I need to put the Account somewhere on my resume to apply for accounting positions. What should I do?

ANSWER: Great question, John, and congrats on completing your education! I think you can just list the major under your degree. It might look something like this:

University of Alabama, BS in Finance May 2008
Additional coursework 6/2008 to 5/2009 to qualify as major in accounting and to sit for CPA exam.

Alternatively, you could just explain the additional designation of an accounting major in your cover letter. Or do it in both places!

How do I list a masters in education on a resume?

ANSWER: Annette... This seems too easy to answer, so I'm wondering if I'm missing your point here. You would just list it like you do any other degree, such as:

Idaho State University, Pocatello, ID
Masters in Education, May 2008

Or, you could use the abbreviation, M. Ed.

Is that what you were getting at? If not, use the comments link to give me more information, OK?

I have a double major. Major in Business and also Biological Science/PreMed. How do I handle this on my resume?

ANSWER: NeeNee... I'd just list the 2 majors one after the other under the educational section of your resume. Something like:

XYZ University, Candidate for BA in Business, with majors in IT and Finance, degree expected in May 2010.

Something along those lines...

You can also mention the double major in your cover letter for extra emphasis on your dedication.

Should I Include Academic Scholarships on Resume?

by Melissa
(Scranton, PA)

I am job searching after 13 years with the same company. I graduated from college in 1996. I went to college on a full tuition academic scholarship. My question is whether or not it is appropriate to include this on my current resume in the Education section. It is an accomplishment I am proud of, and I want to make it work for me if possible, but just unsure if it is too old to include? thanks so much for your help! Melissa

ANSWER: Melissa... I would include this info if you have room in your resume. It IS an old achievement and hopefully you've had many more relevant achievements in the years since, but I can understand why you are proud of it. Resumes should be no longer than 2 pages. So, if you have room for it, include it. Otherwise, you might also mention it in the cover letter, but I'd tie it in somehow to a current achievement or positive quality too.

To your success,
