| I'm wondering if the part of my resume that states "Currently enrolled part-time in Clinton Community College's Computer Information Systems program." is doing more harm than good. I'd gladly take a job over finishing this particular program. Do you think an employer would find this undesireable? | |

| I really don't think that it is hurting you. I look at it as you are taking the initiatve and you have the desire to further your self in both experiance and knowledge. When I was doing hiring for an assistant I hade I would for the most part usally choose someone that was in school over someone that may have had a little more experiance for the mere fact that I thought they would be more usefull and marketable to me. | |

| i was turned down on a job for $36k specifically because i was in school. the IT guy said they wanted to hire me, but HR wouldnt let them. I would have had to go to 2 wks of training out of state, and they were worried about me making that with my school schedule even though I told them it would be no problem (the school is real easy going about situations like that).
just my experience...

| I would take off currently enrolled. I put the date 11/05- and leave off the rest or sometimes I don't even give them a date
When they have ask, I tell them yes I have had some college but have not complete my degree in the interview.
I am currently in school while working, from my previous experience of going job hunting in the IT field, some companies look down own these. I don't know why? (Retards) I guess some think it will affect you at work
ability and don't want to deal with it. Only thing, I would think would not work is if the company gives you different hours/ schedule shifts to work frequently. Usually I tell them, I want a set shift only that does not change in the interview. | |

| There always some trade off. However the HR and IT are totally two separate function, but when come to hire a new employee. HR can be a pain on $##
It is hard to work and go to school.
However, if your boss is cool with u. They will try to give u more flexible shift.
Talk and Talk and soicalize.
Yes, it will sometime because it is a Community College. Many HR recuriter believe student go to community to cheap on the GPA because it is more easier than 4 yrs college.
(It is a fact) | |

| Community colleges might tend to be easier, but I had better professors and better classes at Santa Monica Community college for $12 a unit than I ever did at University of Southern California for $500 a unit (back then, it's more now). | |

| What you need to find is a place that once hired on will pay for classes. these companies know what is going on. I work for one and they pay for up to 6 credit hours at a state college. About Half of the employees are in classes sometime during the year. It can only help the company because you will at least stay till you are done with school and once you are then they have first chance to put you in a position that will meet your education. |
