Resume/CV

[ss20ts]

For those who've completed a MOOC certification program, how do you list it on your resume and CV? For example, say you complete the Construction Management certificate on Coursera from Columbia University. Assuming this certificate relates to a job you're looking for not because you took it for fun.

I'd put

Construction Management certificate [or whatever it's officially called], Columbia University via Coursera.

But it doesn't go under Education. You should have a section for Independent Coursework, Further Education, Professional Development or the like.

I have mine under a separate section called 'continuing education', and then subdivide by provider.

So, for example:
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Coursera
Project Management - University of Virginia
Ethical Leadership - Macquarie University

EdX
Mechanical Engineering - MIT
Data Analytics Professional Certificate - IBM

I make it clear that these are MOOCs, but still include the university name, and full name of the course.

Thank you both!

Mine is like this also

I like the heading Professional Development. I'll have to use this. Sounds like I have a clue what I'm doing. LOL

I like the idea of separating them by provider instead of just a crazy long list.

I wonder, how many pages resume you can have? I wrote two pages, but some people said that it is too many pages.

If you can trim the content to one page, go for it, but if you have around 10+ years of experience and it's all laid out well, two pages can be fine for adult professionals. Around one page for entry-level students is more typical.

It also depends on if you're doing a resume for a human or to submit online where an automated HR system will filter it based on specific criteria. If you're going to hand it to a human in person, it may be better to keep it concise to one page and targeted for the specific position you're applying for. If you're submitting it online, you can stretch it a bit to 2 pages if it's all pertinent information and you have a lot of career experience to share.

Less is more, I'd keep it compact and concise, basically short and sweet - 1 page CV cover letter, 1 page cv/resume, total 2 pages
