Is it obnoxious to list degree acronymns behind your name on your resume?
#5
As others stated, it varies by profession. For example a professional counselor can simply put LPC (or LMHC in some states) and that's enough but some people will use John Doe LPM NCC MA. To me that's kind of obnoxious and redundant to a degree. You having passed the NBCC exam really doesn't mean much to most people. And you having at least an MA is sort of a given if you're an LPC. Most mental health workers who are in private practice will already have their various degrees and certificates plastered all over their offices anyway along with membership certificates like ACA etc. No need to give yourself a ton of prefixes too. The average person doesn't have a clue what that stuff means anyway.
