Hi, I am Ashok. Actually, I was supposed to complete my degree in 2012 within the normal period of 3 years. However, due to financial constraints, I finished graduation in 2016. I have 3 years of real experience in the IT sector. I am very confused about how to mention my experience on my resume. Please suggest to me which passed-out year should be considered for my degree.

Hi, I am Ashok. Actually, I was supposed to complete my degree in 2012 within the normal 3-year period. However, due to my financial constraints, I finished my graduation in 2016. Despite this delay, I have accumulated 3 years of real-time experience in the IT sector as a Linux admin.

I am very confused about how to mention my experience on my resume. Please suggest to me which passed-out year should be considered for my degree. Should it be considered as a 2016 passout? Also, I am currently looking for a job in an MNC company.

Thank you for your guidance.

Dear Ashok,

It really doesn't matter when you finish your graduation. If you are able to convey that due to financial constraints, you could not continue your studies but chose to support your family financially, it would be a big plus. It shows your ability to remain resilient under pressure and understand your responsibilities towards your family.

Furthermore, you have been working during this time, so it adds to your professional experience. So go ahead. You must be the right choice for any company.
