So I filled out six applications today! Much to my dismay, they will probably be ignored. I don't know how to fill out applications for jobs of which I will be qualified for in 2 months but currently I am not.
Like when they ask for my highest education, should I put HS diploma or equivalent, which is true, or should I put Bachelor's degree which will be true in two months?
And then when they ask for a license, even though RN is pending, should I put it anyway so they might give me the time of day?
I don't know what to do. What happened to the old day when they just wanted a basic app with a resume? Oh well, something is bound to happen.
I can't believe I will be a college grad in 2 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The end
hazar! what a joyous day t'will be two moons from now! HAZAR! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI would definitely put the qualifications you WILL have in 2 months, because that's why you're applying anyway. Just make a note that you'll be graduating and have your license soon. Employers will respect that and it shouldn't make any difference to them. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on almost being a grad!!
it actually looks very good if you put the qualifications you are currently working for...
ReplyDeleteexample-
Bachelor of Science: Nursing, Anticipated or Graduation Date May 2010: GPA 3.0 (round up!)
Register Nurse, Anticipated June 2010
Why dont you talk to me about this stuff!?! I am an expert on resumes, applications, and standing out amongst the rest. I do this for a living!!
I can't believe my "baby" girl is almost graduated from college. It makes me feel so old! But, hey, I still have one in high school. So that makes me young, right?
ReplyDeleteMother You are timeless!
ReplyDeleteno what makes you really old, is that you have a daughter who is almost 30. Sorry, but I am going to have to take all of the credit for making you old. Kari graduating makes you a successful proud parent who has finally done something right! haha j/k Congrats to Kari for being the first one in our family to complete her BS in four years!!! You put my 7 years to shame : ) I cant wait to see you walk across the stage! I will be balling like a two year old who just dropped their popsicle in the sand.
