Is it good too attach a college transcript to your resume if you havent graduated yet?

trying to get a job, something better that fast food, ya know......please include any ideas or jobs you liked before starting your careers.Is it good too attach a college transcript to your resume if you havent graduated yet?
No, usually if they are interested in your transcript, they will ask for it. If you offer it without being asked, it might be seen as inappropriate. If you are currently in college, it would make sense to get something related to the area you want to work in, either a paid internship or, if you are going into a profession you can't do until you finish your education, being around those who are engaged in that profession. Networking never hurts, and at least you would respect what the enterprise as a whole was engaged in.Is it good too attach a college transcript to your resume if you havent graduated yet?
I'm a finance major, and having no idea, but i'm starting an internship on summer at a hedge fund in Greenwich CT
I'm not sure what you want to do otherwise I'd have more recommendations..... Anyway...nobody wants to see your transcript. Just put under education ex: ';college 2004-2008'; or ';BA Science 2008';. We will get the picture when looking at your resume. We don't want to see your grades. Try and get an entry level job in the career of your choice. You could even look for a summer job at the company you want to work for. Start sending resumes out in March/April for summer. If you work hard they might hire you permanately. What will hurt you the most is if you job hop! I wish I worked on a cruise ship. If you can speak a 2nd language, go see the world and travel by getting a job on a cruise ship!
In a word, NO! If you are applying for an academic position, you'll be asked to have your school send an official transcript to them directly. Otherwise, the great majority of non-academic jobs won't bother with a transcript. At least they may simply contact your school to verify that you did in fact graduate or attend that institution.





Depending on your field of study, internships can be a very valuable experience and potential permanent employment after graduation. Should you do well, your supervisors would be in a good position to give prospective employers positive references.





Whatever you do, DO NOT fudge your resume or claim experiences that you really don't have. Sooner or later, you'll be found out and bounced out with damaged credibility.





Good luck in your search. Remember, any experience can be good if you are a prompt, responsible and reliable employee.
