Wrong Advice?

    A career counselor recently told me to put the date that I expect to finish my last exam and receive my license on my resume. Is this a good idea? I mean, I feel good about passing the second time around, but I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch, so to speak. Thanks for your feedback.

    Thankful

    You have to be careful about misleading people that you are awaiting licensure. If anything you can say you are a CPA candidate and put down the sections you have passed.

    AUD - NINJA in Training
    BEC - NINJA in Training
    FAR - NINJA in Training
    REG - NINJA in Training
    AUD - 1/6/18
    FAR - TBD
    REG - TBD
    BEC - TBD

    AUD - 73, 72 retake 7/2/2016
    BEC - 8/20/2016
    REG - TBD
    FAR - TBD

    I am so ready for this nightmare to be over. Been at this way too long.

    Agreed. Be specific. I put “CPA Exam passed. 4 classes to complete license requirements” on my resume.

    I put sections passed along with my booked and scheduled dates of my remaining sections.

    Things like expected license date are a bit of a stretch, as its based on passing sections which, well, may or may not go as planned.
