About this listen
In this episode, we guide you on whether and how to include a GED on your resume if you have earned a GED and seek employment. For most positions, holding a high school or equivalent diploma is a basic requirement.
We explain that listing your GED if you haven't earned a traditional high school diploma should not raise any questions and how you can generally omit your GED if you have a college degree or are currently enrolled in college, or possess a substantial work history clearly demonstrating your qualifications.
We show where to include it in the education section of your resume, using the full name "General Educational Development Certificate" or "General Educational Development Diploma," and if not yet completed, denote it as "in progress" or "currently enrolled."
Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of a professional-looking resume as it provides actionable steps for individuals to showcase their qualifications effectively, even without a traditional high school diploma.
