Show High School Diploma on Resume?

Ask Deb
Written By Debra Wheatman

Hi Debra,

I am 52yrs old with a very good financial resume. However, I only have a High School Diploma. Should I put that on my resume or leave it out?

Thanks,

Paula

Dear Paula,

Your many years in the finance industry far outweigh your lack of a college degree.   Your work history and accomplishments are valuable. Focus on the results of your accomplishments on your resume to prove your qualifications. It is not necessary to show your high school diploma on your resume. However, it is a great idea to include professional development related to your current career.

Best wishes in your finance career!

Deb
