E_L_P asked:


I have three degrees (BA in Communications, BFA in Creative Writing, and a MA in English Education). I cannot, for the life of me, seem to find any sort of job outside of the education field (which I no longer wish to pursue). Can putting all three degrees on my resume hurt my chances at being hired or considered for a job?

   First answer is good. I have seen people that were over-qualified for a job, because of education. Sometimes it best to only list the Degree that pertains to the position you apply for. Sometimes it best to list nothing. It can be a hard call to make.
