Applying for jobs whilst studying
November 17, 2022 3:04 PM   Subscribe

I am in the process of applying for jobs that require very tangible digital skills. I’m enrolled in a full-time masters programme where I’m studying relevant courses. How do I show I have these skills but not mention I am currently studying an MA?

The plan is to switch to studying the MA online and part-time if I get a full-time job. I already have an MA in a related field.

Can I put it down as University Name (2022) / Courses in Digital Skills on my CV?

I don’t want to mention I’m studying at the moment. I’m worried they may not take me seriously.

I very frequently see something like "Additional Coursework" on a resume, with a list of relevant classes.

Best answer: I don’t want to mention I’m studying at the moment. I’m worried they may not take me seriously.

I'm more likely to take a junior level applicant seriously if they show that they're actively studying the subject at a graduate level than if they just have some classes listed.
