Education or credentials appearing on a resume add more to the marketability of a resume than most people think. Most publications advocate positioning the education section of a resume towards the end of the document. By devoting several lines to your education up front, you are helping to answer a question that is probably in the mind of the recruiter or potential employer.
Unless you have a good reason to try and hide your educational background, then it will not hurt you to include it at the beginning of the resume. Keep in mind that many positions that are advertised include position requirements such as academic degrees. If employers think that this requirement is so important that it deserves a place on the advertisement, then you need to give it the proper attention too.
An example of an education statement appearing on a resume is:
B.S. Marketing, Georgetown College - 1978
MBA Corporate Finance, Washington University - 1982 |
