    Resume/CV question

    Hoping someone may be able to provide some advice.

    I am only 4 subjects off completing my Accounting degree and I have no idea how to list that on my CV. My CV is used for employers and possible clients of my business. It was fine whilst I was doing it as I could say "Currently Completing Bachelor of Business (Accounting) at RMIT", but now everything is on hold.

    I think saying part completed doesn't sound right and does not convey how close to a degree I am. I am not that comfortable with lying, otherwise I would just continue saying that I am doing the degree part time.

    What do you think employers and potential clients want to see?

    My CV is pretty full as it is, probably time to do some trimming. I could list under it that subjects completed list will be provided upon request.

    Astrid working in recuitment this is always a difficult one. Most candidates would put 2006-Current Degree Name (Deffered) of (Comepleting). It is something that you can put in your cover letter. What type of work are you looking for now?

    Thanks Tiggerlinda, that makes sense, I will use that method. Just looking to increase clients for my business. I tend to be dealing with small business or small accounting firms.
