Too Little Education?

NO DEGREE OR LESS EDUCATION THAN TYPICALLY REQUIRED

If you have the previous experience and skills to do a job that is often filled by someone with more education, you should take special care in preparing the education and experience sections of your resume. For those with substantial work experience, you can simply not include a section on education at all.

While this does have the advantage of not presenting your lack of formal credentials in an obvious way, a better approach might be to present the education and training that you do have without indicating that you do or do not have a degree.

For example, mention that you attended such and such a college or program but don't mention that you did not complete it. This approach avoids your being screened out unnecessarily and provides you with a chance at an interview that you might not otherwise get.
