If I took non-degree courses at a community college - like Advanced Microsoft Office, Introduction to Routers and Basic Networks, and Introduction to PC Softwares – that were relevant to a job, how would those be listed on a resume? In the education section?
Do I just list the CC name w/ “non-degree” as the degree type, and just list the courses? Do I also list my GPA (I received A’s in all the courses so I have a “4.0” on my transcript for the CC)?
Or should I just put them in a “Special Skills” section?
If you want to include the coursework, I would just have a section called “Relevant Coursework” or something similar and include it there.
I’ve attended two universities (the one where I took dual-enrollment classes, and the one where I’m earning my degrees) and I have them as separate listings on my resume. I would say something like this:
Community College Name – City, State000000000000000000000000000000Fall 2014 – Spring 2015
4.00 cumulative GPA
Courses: Advanced Microsoft Office, Introduction to Routers and Basic Networks, Introduction to PC Software
I had this same question; lol, resume writing is something they should teach first thing in college! I was planning on for now listing both the CC and 4-year university where I took non-degree courses and what courses I took there for when I apply to internships. When I apply to grad school and later jobs, I’ll probably take them off.
So right now, my resume has:
College I’m attending now, cumulative GPA, math/CS GPA, relevant courses, anticipated graduation date
4-year college non-degree, GPA, courses, dates attended
CC dual-enrollment, GPA, courses, dates attended
High School (Magnet school), relevant courses (AP Calc BC, multivar, cryptography, etc), graduation date
I think I’m eventually going to create a relevant courses section too. I think I haven’t taken enough courses where this is necessary yet (I’m listing them under each institution right now). I was planning on putting a couple courses I took in high school on there too that don’t show up on my college transcript(s). For example, my university waived multivariate calc for my math major, since I took it in high school, but it won’t show up on my college transcript. (Unless some else has a better idea on how to handle that?)
