How to list community college transfer on job applications?

I'm updating my resume for job applications and attended a community college before transferring to a four-year university. Should I include my transfer on the application? If yes, how should I list it?

Certainly, you should display your full educational trajectory on your resume, especially if coursework from your community college aligns with your job aspiration. Here's how you can list it:

1. University of XYZ (City, State)

Bachelor’s degree in [Field of Study]

Dates attended (Start Year - End Year)

2. ABC Community College (City, State)

Associate’s degree in [Field of Study], if you earned one

Dates attended (Start Year - End Year)

This way, you provide a clear timeline of your academic progress. If you didn't receive your associate's degree, you might not need to specify your field of study or can reference it as transfer coursework instead.

Remember to list any relevant coursework or special projects that you took part in at either institution. These can give a potential employer insight into your abilities and experiences. Also, consider including GPA if it's strong and relevant to the job application, but this is optional.

Lastly, adapt your education section to the job you're applying to. For jobs closely aligned with your major or where specific course work would be beneficial, definitely include these details. However, for jobs less tied to your major, you might want to focus more on the skills and experiences you've picked up that would be valuable in the prospective job.
