I owe College money so I can’t get degree. Will I be able to get a job that needs degree verification?
February 22nd, 2012
I won’t be able to pay the school off until I get a job. So if I apply for a job that asks for a bachelor’s level, will they check to see if you really have your degree. If so, is it a good idea to explain that I owe the college and will use this job to pay the school?
I am not exactly sure of your situation.I am guessing that you owe money directly to the school, not related to a school loan.
So, as I understand it, that you have completed the requirements for your degree, you owe money directly to the college and they will not release the degree until you finish paying them.
Be honest with your employer.Get a copy of your transcript from the record’s department.This will show what classes you took and the grades you made in them.I would go ahead and apply for jobs that ask for a bachelor’s degree level of education.When you go to the interview, and you are asked about your degree, tell them you have earned the degree, but it has not been released because you owe money to the college.Assure the company you will show them the degree as soon as it is released.
You might even think about going for an entry level position, with an agreement that as soon as you get your degree released you could be promoted to the upper level position.Many times, after graduation, people are placed in entry level positions.This would be a good time to take advantage of that opportunity.
