I am curious what you think about absolute accuracy of one’s academic history on your resume.
My case is, I have completed all the coursework for my Masters degree but have not completed the thesis so I don’t have the degree. I do not intend to complete the thesis, so how do I reflect it on my resume wanting it to show up but not wanting to be inaccurate too.
I realize the 15 second rule often applies where resumes that don’t have certain key words are just dropped from consideration.
I am interested to hear your views on just listing a masters degree on the resume and then, later, telling prospective employers that it was not entirely completed (thesis never written).
If this is not a good idea, do you have suggestions on how to list it on a resume to be both accurate yet to still reflect you have done 98% of the Masters work.
