Thoughts about listing “in progress” certifications? I am preparing for the CFA exam (registered for Aug) and will also be attending a course at the end of April for another certifications (also registered) which will be granted upon completion of the course. I was wondering if I were to apply for jobs in the near future, could I include them in my resume now and apply or wait until I at least complete the April course to include it in my resume and apply then?

For certifications no but if you were pursuing a multi exam license yes.

Assume this is level 1? If you’ve registered, you can claim candidacy.

Should you? No. It doesn’t indicate anything other than you paid a few hundred bucks. Wait until you’ve passed level 1. You can bring it up in the interview.

Just wanted to clarify that when I say list “in progress” certifications - it would be something along the lines of mentioning me being a candidate or “expecting to complete” by a certain date, not solely listing the certifications

FYI - listing expecting to complete by a certain date is a violation of CFA ethics.

Don’t list in progress. As someone who hires people it’s super misleading and very annoying. You either have it or you don’t. Go hustle and get it, then you can list it.

Thanks!
