Resume Question

[PocketAces]

I'm currently a grad student, but I found a job opportunity that is only relevant to my undergrad degree. Should I leave the fact that I'm currently attending grad school off my resume or keep it on? If I keep it on, would employers think that I'm overqualified for the position? Conversely, there would a gap in my resume if I left it off. Would that be an issue for employers?

Advanced education and training is always an asset. If a prospective employer thinks that would make you "over-qualified," maybe you are, and you'd want to leave the job rather quickly out of boredom.

You leave it off, the first thing they will ask is what have you been doing.

I'm single but you probably already knew that.

Grad degrees generally make you more valuable in the workplace, whether that actually means you add more value or not. It shows you're a high potential candidate, and is generally a very positive thing to have on a resume.

Thanks for the quick replies.

The job requires a college degree, so it should be fairly challenging.

I have no problem bringing up the fact that I'm a grad student in an interview, but I'm more concerned that my application will be weeded out by HR when they determine who to interview. To give an example, I think someone with a PhD would not be considered for an interview for most entry level positions.

Sorry, I forgot to add that my academic record as a grad student is nowhere near my record as an undergrad. Would that make any difference to you?

Do not think like that. In today's market, "Jr level position" means you have 2 years experience.

If you're not done with grad school, I would leave off your academic record. In progress is plenty of detail, no GPA needed.

Thanks for the reply. Should I bring up the fact that I'm a grad student in my cover letter or only bring it up if asked?
