I want to know if it’s a good idea to have previous education posted on my resume even after the school was closed. My thoughts are that I still spent 4 years to earn that education so it should still have some value but it almost seems as though it’s not even being considered. After even having a professional help me edit my resume, I haven’t had any luck with my job search. Should I or should I not include my past education on my resume?

Lots of variables (your experience level, industry, prestige, etc.). But without knowing any of those, I can say that it would be odd to see no mention of education at all.
Unless you are so pressed for space with stellar work experience, I don’t see why you need to remove it. Are you truly going to maximize those few extra lines by removing your education?

Thank you for asking this question. I have often wondered myself as I am in the same situation.

More than likely, yes you should keep it. But it may depend on the roles you are applying for and whether the education is relevant.

My previous degrees are completely different than what I am currently pursuing. They are two different fields.

That’s why I have been curious about that. It hasn’t been easy to get a job lately and I just wanted to see if anyone might know something about that

It’s likely important to keep the degree because it shows a college education, which like it or not, has become a baseline expectation for most jobs — not showing it could make it seem like you don’t have it

Hi fishes, my friend recently had a bitter experience with Dish Network. So her profile was shortlisted and they asked few questions over email. It did take good 2hrs to answer and she replied back.

Is there any reason why this happens ? Me being in HR field felt this to be a little unprofessional.
