In my resume, where exactly must I insert my educational background? And also, should I just list completed education degrees or other schooling I've had? What if there has been no degree completed?
Thanks

The location: depends on what job you apply for, on what level you are at the moment, on job requirements and other things. Like if you're a college grad, education comes right after the summary of qualifications, but if you're a medium-level, it comes after professional experience.

What you should list: take into account the requirements of the job. If the advertisement mentions you should have a BA, mention the BA and the high school. In reversed chronological order. Also, list certificates, special trainings, special awards etc.

You must cover up really good for the lack of degree. Unfortunately, employers are quite interested in their employees having a degree. No matter which one. If you are about to complete a degree, then mention you are about to graduate in June 2008, or whenever you graduate.

If you are about to complete a degree, mention the year and month you are going to complete it. The info in the education area goes listed in reversed chronological order. Other suggestions:
