<\/div> Making the Dean’s List is a great personal achievement for a college or university student, demonstrating a high level of academic performance for one or more semesters. <\/span>\n

It should not, however, be confused with an honors degree; the Dean’s List award is similar to an honor roll. <\/span><\/p>\n

This accomplishment can show employers that not only is the applicant a hard-working individual but that they are also dedicated to success. <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, most of the time, recruiters love to see it on a resume but where would the ideal place to list it be and how should it be written?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where to put Dean’s List on a resume?<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are different ways to put a Dean’s List mention in the resume, depending on the circumstance. The first would be under the ‘Education’ section, the second under the ‘Achievement’ section, and the third in the ’Professional Profile\/Summary’ section at the very top of the resume. The best place would be in the ‘Education’ section as it adds more impressive accomplishments to a section that is mostly left somewhat bare compared to the other sections. It also helps students or recent graduates emphasizing their education to stand out from other applicants. <\/b><\/p>\n

The 3 different ways to show a Dean’s List<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Listing a Dean’s List achievement under the ‘Education’ section<\/b><\/h3>\n

Typically, the applicant’s education goes after the work experience on a resume or it can put before to highlight it instead of a career. <\/span><\/p>\n

In cases where the job seeker has minimal work experience or is applying to a graduate school, the ‘Education’ section would be better placed before the ‘Work Experience’ section.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dean’s List can be put under the ‘Education’ section right next to the GPA<\/a><\/strong>. This shows the hiring official two strong achievements during an applicant’s student life. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is most important on a college or university graduate’s resume as those job seekers usually have to emphasize their education, and this makes them appear as strong candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bullet points can be used to list this achievement directly under the degree, below the college or university’s name. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is also highly recommended to note how many semesters the student was on the Dean’s List. If it was for just one semester then only the date should be written. <\/span><\/p>\n
