Hey folks,
I have a very specific resume-related question.
Here's the background: currently work in I.T., have been for about 4 years now. Going to be looking for a new job in the new year.
Originally attended Uni for a 4 year program, but left school about halfway through. However, it was somewhat related to my current field (CS).
Recently I re-applied to Uni and got back in, to finish a degree through Correspondence, but it's not related to I.T (it's Arts (humanities)...).
Right now my education section says:
2006 - current (UniversityName) Mytown, ON
Bachelor of Arts, Liberal Studies
- currently pursuing a B.A. through part-time studies
1998-2001 (UniversityName) Mytown, ON
Candidate for Bachelor of Mathematics, co-op
- took a number of courses in xxx, yyy, zzz, etc.
My question is: How *bad* does this look? Should I even bother mentioning my 1998 attempt at getting a university degree? It's unfinished... but on the plus side, I studied Comp Sci and I was in co-op too, did a number of co-op terms at some pretty cool companies (which I plan to mention in my Experience section).
Any and all advice is appreciated, taking into account my field (I.T.) -- thanks!
