when searching for a blue-collar job, should I omit the fact that I have a college degree?

Why would you want to hide it?  If you are searching for a blue-collar job because you just need a job for the interim,then I say proudly put it on your application and tell them that you are looking for a job with growth potential, you know like management positions, district managers, ect.........

Why not just mention in the cover letter that you are relocating. That will also make it clear why you are job hunting.

Simply put, no... it will not be recognized to the same degree that a 'real' bachelor's degree will be.  Many positions that requires a BS/BA will not even consider you for employment, that doesn't mean that none will; just that most won't.  Online degree's overall are looked upon as lessor than a degree given at a physical institution. (a degree for life experience would be even more so)  This doesn't mean that the education is bad, but some online school's have... questionable practices when it comes to issuing diploma's and degree's... this carries over to all of the legitimate online schools and the effect is the same; online degrees are less valuable and often looked down upon when it comes to real life employment.  Especially when it comes to sciences, psychology included.

YOU WILL WANT TO FIRST LIST YOU OBJECTIVE TO CATCH THE EMPLOYERS ATTENTION. AN EXAMPLE OF AN CREATIVE OBJECTIVE WOULD BE, " ENHANCING MY SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE WITH A FAST GROWING COMPANY. THE YOU WILL WANT TO LIST YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SUCH AS NAME ADDRESS, AND ETC. LIST YOUR JOB EXPERIENCE, YOUR SCHOOLING, AND YOU WILL WANT TO LIST THE SKILLS THAT YOU HAVE AS YOUR KEY WORDS. LEAVE OUT UNNECESSARY INFORMATION UNLESS ASKED. I WOULDN'T LIST ANY HIGH SCHOOL BUT JUST COLLEGES OR UNIVERSITIES. BUT IF ALL YOU HAVE IS HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION THEN PUT THAT. MAKE THE RESUME AS SHORT AS ONE PAGE BECAUSE MOST EMPLOYERS HATE LONG RESUMES.

Under the heading Education / Training list the specific courses you completed like follows\n\nCourse taken,  School Taken At,     Year completed\n\nDo not say they were for a specific degree to which you have not completed unless asked as sometimes the person who is doing the hiring sees it as a lack of responsibility or committment.

It depends...either way is fine. Often it is better to have several different kinds of activities on your resume. It shows that you are "well rounded".

That sounds a bit illegal to me, why would you want a degree you didn't earn?

It depends............If you have a degree from a third world country, it's hard to verify.  If your degree is from the US most likely yes.  A lot of third world people lie about degrees (BS, MS, PhD) and US companies don't check.  Just as another person posted. They only worry if you can work overtime, holidays, etc....  Plus they can pay them less.  They do check your background on criminal and credit check.  it's easy to do that.\nStay blessed\n\nTy

Any time you can put on a resume that not only did you work for a company but you were the president is wonderful. employers  would appreciate a go getter that tried.\n just think, If your successful in the first year how could they ever deny you a degree?

First of all, I think that is a great question to ask. I am sure there are many others that are curious about the same thing. My opinion is that I am sure there are some employers that would see it as irrelevant maybe a few will see it as a joke.  But eBay has a huge presence in our lives these days and is pretty much commonplace in this day and age. Like another person said, it shows independence, which I totally agree with. It also shows that you can stick to a task for a long period of time, which not everyone can do. It is not easy to be a Powerseller, props to you for attaining it. Use it, you earned it. But like some else said, be careful NOT to just put you are an “eBay Powerseller”, you need to add a description to what that means. Put as much detail about your eBay achievements as you can, without being too wordy. So ABSOLUTELY; include that on your resume. Good Luck.

If you don't list you previous employers, most businesses will assume you don't have any work experience, especially in the field you are trying to be hired in!\n\nIf they do decide to interview you, won't it get awkward when you are asked if you have any prior work experience?\n\nIf you lie at this point and they find out differently later, you could be fired. Businesses like to add a clause to their applications that say if you purposely give misleading info, they can fire you without notice if they discover the falsehood.

It depends on the company! If it does not say "college degree required" then most places will accept your degree in the field as work expreience. The place I am trying to get an interview at wanted "2 years of experience" but I just flat out went there and before I applied I told them I had a degree in the field and they said that was great. I am still going through all of the interviews.

I don't know, I have a BA and can't get a decent job... \n\nI guess it depends on what you consider a real job.\n\n  There are tons of jobs that you can get without a college degree, but there are also jobs that will be closed off to you because you don't have one.  \n\nIf you want to do civil service you can get many jobs without a degree, but for some jobs you need some college credits even, civil service.  \n\nIf you know what you want to do and you know it doesn't require a degree then go for it, but if you aren't sure I would say at least get an associates degree so that you can open more doors for yourself.

Depends on what you want to do.\n\nSome professions require a univesrity education (physician, attorney).\n\nOthers don't require it, but universities have convinced people that they do. (Management).\n\nSince people believe a college degree is important, you may lose opportunities if you don't have one.  BUT, there are successful people in many fields who don't have one.  (Bill Gates dropped out of college).\n\nI have to add a response to theycallmewendy's point about not hiring for specific areas.  That's just WRONG.  I have a degree in chemistry and know peers who are computer programmers.  Heck my wife is a computer programmer and her degree is in PSYCHOLOGY.\nProgramming is in fact one field where they value experience over what the diploma says.\nSome fields aren't so open (pharmaceutical manufacturing for instance).  At times it's understanable.\n\nAnyway, a university education should be a personal choice.  Not one forced on you by college deans who want to expand their fiefdoms.

No.  You should stay with the same job.\n\nMost employers don't expect college grads to have LOTS of work experience.  They're usually happy to see a little.  The fact that you've been with the same company for so many years will make most employers think highly of you.  It is rare for someone so young to have that kind of dedication and consistency, so I think it will turn out to be a big plus when it comes time to interview after college.  Especially if you have a variety of positions with the same company.  You're in good shape!\n\nBest of luck to you.

You do not need a degree in most cases, but the individual company that you want to work for may require one.  Its a great field, but the market is changing and a lot of the refi market is done.

The whole key is the field of choice.  You are not sharing this information with us.  It is one thing to get a degree in computer science and look for a job.  It is another thing to get a degree in history and look for a job.  You should pick the job before you pick the major.
