For job applications that ask about education level, how should I list my high school education? Is it just 'high school' or is there a specific way to write it so it's understood?
When a job application asks for your level of education and you've graduated from high school, you can usually list it as "High School Diploma" or "High School Graduate." Be prepared to provide the name of your high school and the date of your graduation. If you're still enrolled in high school, you might write "High School Student - Graduating in [Year]" or similar. However, the way you record this may vary depending on the application system or employer's preferences – always adapt your application to fit the format given and don't hesitate to ask for clarification if there is any confusion. Keep in mind that if you're applying to jobs that require specific skills or training, graduation from high school may be viewed as a minimum requirement, so make sure to also highlight any relevant coursework, extracurricular activities, or job experiences that align with the role.
