Continuing Ed. classes
Permalink Closed

I should change my name to Perpetual Student Extrodinaire!

So, I am taking a single continuing education class and am enjoying it. Now that I'm in repayment for my student loans for my mba I can't justify taking misc. classes for credit at $500 a credit hour. I went to the local community college site and found a TON of other classes I would be interested in taking.

Several of them are related to my field or are related to tasks I will/would/could do in my next job, the others are just of interest to me and wouldn't be in relation to work whatsoever.

Do I include the work related ones on my resume? And if so, how do I list them? I am assuming I'd just list Continuing Ed and then list the related topics...

It seems silly to list them on a resume, but then again, if I have taken several classes to learn about grant writing, and will work under someone who is writing grants, it seems like the little bit of knowledge would be helpful and that I'd want them to know about it.

Thoughts?

Before I graduated I went to our career center and they told me to list relevant classes on my resume. I think you should list them to show that you have taken classes in that field. Especially if you do not have a lot of experience in that area.

I list all my relevant continuing education classes on my resume. Employers love that I want to keep learning beyond college and an MFA. If I were take, say, Bonsai for Beginners, I would not list that on my resume as it has nothing to do with marketing at all. But, SEO Optimization? Definitely.

I list them, and if you're wondering where to put them, I put them in bullet points under my school and graduation year. Good luck!
