So we're just going to pop our education right here, under our qualification statement, I use the same size 12 heading as I did for qualification summary, the headings are something we'll keep consistent throughout the document. And then it's pretty simple. I mean, you include the institution name, and then on the right, the location of the institution, underneath and in bold, you'll do the the credential, what degree is it Bachelor of Commerce, and then the specialization after a comma a marketing, the bracketed part where you short form the degree totally up to you, if it's something recognizable, like an MBA or become Go ahead, if you wrote Bachelor of Arts, I think everyone knows it's a BA, but totally up to you, and then we'll just do the graduation date. Now, if you've yet to graduate, you can plug in here, you know, June 2020, instead. And we'll know that that's when you're expecting to graduate.
A couple of other nuances with the education information that we'll cover here. So let's say We've got a master's degree in masters of communication studies and digital engagement that's very relevant to this position we're applying to, although a quick note on education, as it relates to it being relevant to the, the job you're applying to, in most cases, even if you have an irrelevant degree, I would say to include it because the important thing we're trying to show there is you're capable of completing a university degree, which is a big, it's a big plus when applying to most jobs for most employers. So include it regardless. We've got a graduation date there. And then a couple of other things that you can include with education. If you've got a master's degree, you might want to throw the thesis that you completed in there if you did that, if you have a particularly good GPA, you can include that as well.
I wouldn't recommend including a GPA if it's lower than average, certainly no one's looking for a GPA on a resume, but if you have a good one, and it shows that you have that you're a high performer, then why not in cluded a couple of other things that I don't have here that are sometimes included under education as if you were in a technical program, you might want to include a capstone project that you did or any relevant course materials. And then I'll show you what to do if you have started a degree that you didn't complete in a minute, and that's another place where we use some of those bullets under the education. If you have more than one degree, first off, congratulations. Secondly, list them in in chronological order. Now, this or this is what to do if you have not completed a degree or credential but you want to include it on your resume, which I think is still a plus in most cases.
So let's say we we went to awesome university we didn't complete what what we'll do differently, will list here three years completed two years completed, whatever you've got, we're not gonna mention the full name of the credential because that does imply We have the credential. So studying commerce, specialization and marketing. And then here on the right, we're going to look at the, we're going to look at the start and end dates just so they can see when we were there. And one thing I like to do when we haven't completed the degree is we want to still validate our learning. So what we'll do, we'll list a quick list here of relevant courses that we took. Just to show you know, maybe I didn't complete my degree, but I did complete courses and all these things that are related to the work that I'm going to be doing with you.
So it's still a plus there and we definitely still want to include the education because three years is a lot of work and you deserve to have that on your resume. Let's move along.
