When listing your education provide the institution you attended, degree and your major(s). If you have multiple degrees, you should start with your most advanced degree then work your way down (Master’s – Bachelor’s – Associate’s).

Mistake No.1.
You display at the top of page one all your degrees and schools including all courses you took, awards and certificates you received, and academic clubs you belonged to.
