Resume Writing

[zakuro]

Hi, I'm writing my first resume for RN jobs right now and have a question about the "education" section. Since I have two years graduate school experience in a reputable university studying immunology, but for some reasons I quit from the program so I didn't get the degree. Do you guys think I should include this in my resume? How should I word it since we usually put the graduation date there also, right? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't believe you should use that part of your education on a resume.

When you get an interview, it probably wouldn't hurt to mention it then, so you could go into a bit more detail on the reasons you weren't able to finish.

I agree, whenever I get a resume that has non completed studies listed I immediately want to know why, and whether or not that person is reliable and able to commit to a position.

Leave it off, discuss it at interview if you want, but if it is not relevant to the position you are applying for then do not discuss it.
