Do potential employers ask for proof of education?
|
Theoretically I would have graduated from a four-year university with a degree exactly seventeen years ago. I didn't. I simply went to work right after I graduated from high school. Big mistake, kids! (for me anyway, I think). Now I wonder, ethics aside for a moment, would a potential new employer even check to see if I really had a degree if I indicated I did on my resume??

Depends on the employer, but I wouldn't take the chance. I know someone who was terminated for just this reason. It's considered falsification of employment records and you will not be eligible for unemployment either. |

yes, transcripts and proof of degree. |

It is so easy for an employer to check, and so easy for a college or Univ to verify.
You cannot argue with a letter from the college that has the college seal on it.
You. (check one)
1. Have No record of attending this college
2. Withrew ____________ completed __terms________or cr hours.
3. Graduated ________ with a __
degree,
Should you falsify it and they check, kiss your credibility bye-bye. |

Yeah, it's entirely possible that they will ask for proof. . . .Don't risk it. They might not even care anyhow. |

You have no way of knowing for sure. Some companies do, some don't. Some don't initially, and then do later (I'm not sure why this is, backlog perhaps?) so it's possible for you to be hired and then fired later for falsifying information. I'd say it's not worth the risk, because if you're caught, it will forever taint your job history, and the next employer who calls looking for a reference will be told that you were terminated for lying. Not good. |

I am a hiring manager and I verify everyone's credentials. I used to work at a college so I know what to look for in an official transcript. If I have a question I call the college & verify the degree.
Do not lie - it could lead to criminal charges. |

I love your phrase "ethics aside". Either you're an ethical person and have actual convictions that you live by or you're perfectly willing to compromise them when it benefits you.
Odds are good that any deception on your part will be discovered. Most companies check. |

Depends on the job and size of the employer. A big firm with an HR department will contact the school and check. A low level job or a small operation might not bother. You're taking a risk, not to mention the ethical considerations. |

Be honest, they should check. If you do well in you interview (confident, outspoken, knowledgeable) you might start out very low...but it will help you work you way up in the field. Work hard and you'll meet people who can help you move up in your occupation. |
