Listing Your GED: Maximizing Achievement

Many people who did not graduate high school, but have their GED, listing such on their resume can be confusing. How exactly should you put that you have your GED on your resume without fear of it possibly hurting you because its not a High School Diploma. Because the resume is a constantly-evolving document and no two resumes are the same, the educational section of a resume is left up to the applicant. Though you must be honest, there is nothing wrong with omitting an achievement on a resume and a GED is just that; an achievement. However, if you attended college following receiving your GED, there is no need to mention previous education. While a resume is still a document that is subject to interpretation, a job application, however, is not. For more on how to make the most of your resume, HR consultant Alison Doyle has many tips to make your resume stand-out while accurately describing you. Also remember that a majority of employers and even college admissions departments treat a GED the same or very close to the same as a High School Diploma.
