I have a GED, which is equivalent to a high school diploma. I even attended free classes to get me ready for this job.

Send in your resume anyway. Although that may be a requirement, chances are some of the other applicants could be over qualified for the job. The management personell could be looking for someone who intends to stay for awhile. You could be what they are looking for. If these people don't hire you start going to places and just asking around. Have someone to type you up a resume and make copies. Don't tell the job you go to your training was free. Thats none of thier buisness, its still training. If you have the experience in training sometimes people will hire you at entry level. You can also volunteer your services for awhile for free to get the experience you need.

I think you can take a test to move on if you are younger than graduating age (an acceleration type exam).  Since you are 24, I think your only option is the GED.  Call your local adult education program to see for sure.

If you go to INS they have sample tests that you can have and study.  They can give you all the material you need to study and to answer your questions.  What I think you should do is go to your local community college and get information from there since all states have different requirements in order to get your GED.  I think that would help you out better.  Good Luck!

High School Diploma, you can do it. Don't think negative always have a positive attitude and you will come out on top. Finishing High School is something you will only get to do once and it's a great memory.

If u did not finish high school, u can take a test that involves different subjects of learning, math, science, english,etc. If u pass the test, u r awarded a GED Diploma, which is accepted as tho u had graduated h.s. with a diploma. These tests r generally given once or twice a year at different designated schools, usually a high school. GED means General Equivalency Diploma.

Sounds like Ur in Canada? And grade nine in US, well I never even got to high school, did get my GED later...\n\nSuggest putting words relating to your question at "google" and there you will get 1000,s of answers, to narrow down to exactly what you need just keep adding or rewording entry...\n\nGood Luck!

Ask your local school district about their GED program. If there is a medical reason for you to not attend high school, you may be eligible for homebound instruction, but that would be up to a physician to say so.

Some schools have a career development class. I know my high school did. You actually had to have a job outside of school and then in school, you took a class one period a day.

I joined the Air Force. After basic and once assigned to a permanent party base I was able to take my GED while training as a ground radio repairman. I am now working as a field consultant working towards my MBA.

Technically, they are the same. GEDs are probably prevalent among kids that were home-schooled. For your situation, it probably shouldn't matter a whole lot. Colleges can't discriminate, just because you got a GED. \n\nAs far as employment...not too sure about that. I doubt it though. The jobs you will be applying for aren't going to be the ones that require college degrees, so they probably won't care as long as you can do the job.

Its not better, and typically it shouldn't be considered less than a diploma when it comes to jobs.  If I were you, I would brush up on my spelling and grammar.  \n\nYou can get books that help you study at Barnes and Noble, also online there are sample tests.  \n\nIt would probably be more reliable to go to an actual facility and take the GED for around $40.  Google it. \n\n:)

You can try one of three things:\n1. get your GED\n2. get your Eqivalent high schooldiploma\n3. do independent studies\n\nthe best thing to do is talk to your school counciler about all three, they should be able to help you and let you know more about those options.

Hi,  \n\n   I highly recommend for you to make a plan to get your diploma.  When you have this, everything will be so much easier.  In the meantime, check out any supermarkets and/or department stores in your area.  Also any local restaurants would most likely have openings.\n   \n   Check your local paper -- In many cases the paper's classified are now online.\n    \n   Sometimes if you apply at a temporary employment agency they can help you find a job in a field that might not require a GED or diploma.\n\n   \n   I use a FREE online application that allows you to keep track of any ads you find, jobs you apply for.  You can send or print correspondence such as a cover letter, thank you letter, or cold call letters. It also allows you to keep track of your job search history. This site is jobsearchlog.com.....   check it out.  Absolutely free and real helpful! \n\nGood Luck,\n\nKaren\n\n    http://indeed.com\n    http://job-hunt.org\n    http://jobsearchlog.com

A lot of communities have vocational,technical training centers. No high school diploma needed. But I think almost all of them offer classes if you do want your diploma.\nIf you're not a graduate, the courses are usually free,too. At least they are here.\nThey can help point you in the direction you need to go. Good luck.

I just took mine and passed it a couple of weeks ago. You can go to your local library and get the complete GED book. I took the class and bought the book and it helped a lot. GOOD LUCK!!!

Take the GED exam and you can graduate high school earlier.  That's what 2 of my friends did when they were 16 and hated school.  We all live in CA.
