Job Application Q: Highest Level of College Completed 1-5?

Post » Thu Jan 30, 2014 6:24 am

Hey everyone

I'm trying to apply for various jobs right now, and one thing that I've noticed on a few applications is a question about the "Highest Level of Education" I've completed. For High School, it was 1-4, and since I completed that, I put 4. But when it came time to put my "Highest Level of Education Completed" for college/university, I became very confused, as it was putting things on a 1-5 scale, with no key to make things clear.

Does anybody know what 1-5 mean?

I've graduated from college with two different Bachelor's Degrees, but I'm unsure where those fall on such a scale. Is 5 graduated from college, or graduated with a Ph.D?

Can anybody help me out here?

Thanks

I would just put '5' in the block then write what degrees you received alongside it. If some HR flunky screener is tasked with sorting the fives to the top you get in the top stack, and when someone who matters looks at it you are giving them better information which they will probably appreciate.
