Including Transfer College Experience on Professional Resumes

I've transferred colleges, and I'm putting together my first professional resume. Is it necessary to include both my community college and current university or would it look better with just my current school?

Including your transfer college experience on your resume can be beneficial as it provides a full picture of your academic background. Both your community college and current university have contributed to your education and potentially, your skill set.

However, the need to include your community college depends on a few factors.

If you've received any specific training, certifications, or relevant coursework at your community college that aligns with the job you're applying for, it would be advantageous to include this experience. Similarly, if you were at your community college for a significant amount of time and partook in extracurriculars or notable projects, it would be beneficial to include it.

On the other hand, if you've transferred middle of your academic duration and you don't have any specific accomplishments or related coursework at your community college, you could consider leaving it off and focusing on your current university.

Employers primarily want to see what you studied, where you graduated from, and what you achieved during your education that makes you a solid candidate for the job. Your education section should reflect that.

Remember to present the information in reverse chronological order, listing your current university education first.
