Resume guide to education questions... On this page, you ask & I answer questions about how to handle education on your resume.

Please take time to peruse the questions at the bottom of this page to make sure I haven't already answered the question you have. I don't want to keep answering the same questions over and over.

And PLEASE... Take Note

This is a big website and I get a number of questions on these pages every single week. Also, this isn't my only website. Since I am providing free information and advice here for you, I'd like to ask that you treat me with the same courtesy.

Please type your question and personal information (if you include it) with correct punctuation and capitalization. This is not IM or text messaging. Your questions create pages on my site and I want them to look right. And I don't want to have to spend hours going through all your submissions and correcting punctuation and caps. That's time I could be spending answering questions!

So, if you say "I", type it as a capital, not a lower case "i", OK? And begin new sentences with a capital, as well as your name and city/state. I thank you in advance for your courtesy and respect. And I'm giving you fair warning that I may stop accepting questions where the asker doesn't make the time or effort to use correct punctuation and capitalization.
