Educational Limbo When Applying For Jobs

[dposborne]

Ok, I am about twelve credits from earning my TESC B.A., and I am chomping at the bit to start applying for jobs that once had that dreaded 'Bachelor's degree required' designation. I have applied for one or two, but I was wondering if any of you have done the same things and gotten interviews. Say, if you applied for a teaching job and your resume said 'Pending graduation' do you think that put you at a disadvantage?

It looks like I will finally get my A.A. next month, and my B.A. in March. I have started putting 'Pending graduation' on my resume. Would that put me at a disadvantage?

I actually applied for a higher management position within my company back on the 10th of July and my last class hadn't ended until July 27th. I talked to HR about it and they were fine with me just putting that I had my BS. I get an interview for the position next week. Although the position didn't specifically call for a degree as a requirement, it was a preferred requirement and that is most likely why I got the interview.
