What matters most is your work experience and they sometimes make you do their own exams if the job involves maths or English
Though it helps make your CV look good if you have the education qualifications
“I can’t even count to B” …
had me chuckling good 🤣👍
I have a degree in graphic design *wink*
Who puts their GCSEs on a CV, 10 years after completing them
As someone of a reasonable age, I only put my last 2 positions and any professional qualifications at this point.
I’m really not proud to admit this but I failed my maths gcse three times. I just can’t grasp it. Baffled my teachers as all my other grades were A*-B (single B being in physics) and no C’s. Did well in my A Levels and I went onto uni despite having no maths gcse to read law. I have also completed the LPC without my lack of maths gcse being queried.
I recently got a job with a fake degree. I’m doing just fine !
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
2 decades later and I just put 10 GCSE at C and above in a single line 🤷♂️
people checked mine on my apprenticeship but never anything after
This is absolutely true when interviewing, but if you fuck up and are senior enough for the company to care they could feasibly check and fire you for lying. But yeah, I interview and I don’t think our HR dept ever check.
you cant even get a B in gcses
I came out of University with a Desmond, but called it an Atilla since then, and no one ever checked.
The first rule of lying is to lie big enough to make it worth it but not so big it’s not believable.
Yeah this isn’t the own he thinks he is.
If you list your GCSEs after 10 years you peaked at your poor GCSEs
I still put mine on there, only reason is cause I’m an engineer and got an A in maths so is sort of pertinent.
Agreed that they are basically irrelevant once you’re qualified etc but it’s just 10 results. Mum works in HR and quite often checks GCSEs V A Level/College results cause it can show growth etc.
Not the place to shout about that mate
No one checks and honestly if you get a degree like I did no one cares.
I stopped going to high school at 14 cos of being bullied for being queer and after getting stabbed for it and the school covering it up my grandad was like nope your not going to that Christian shit hole again your gonna come work in my garage and learn something actually useful in life.
So my grandad would pick me up every morning to take me to “school” as far as my parents knew and instead I spent the day tinkering on cars and learning finance and house keeping and wood work and leather working, sowing and stitching e.t.c with my nana and grandad, the school never said anything think they were just happy to be free of the queer kid and I learnt a hell of a lot and was far happier having the same education my grandad had gotten when he was a kid on the farm
Then I went and did a btec first in college which was worth the GCSE’s I never took, then a national, foundation degree in engineering then a BSC and went to work.
GCSE’s and high school are a waste of time as far as I’m concerned
Thankfully nobody has asked to see my certificates in decades. I put them in my crappy 1991 Record of Achievement as instructed, only to find that when I took them out again it stripped all of the print off. By then, both the exam board and my school had closed.
