Omit A-level result in CV
Hello, I come from Hong Kong and i want to ask one question about CV.
I graduated at my high school in Form 7 after taking the HK a-level,
However, my result in Hk a-level only get 3 pass,
and I took the foundation in UK and finally got into a top 5 university in UK
I would like to ask if i can omit my A-level result in my CV and said that i quit my high school in Form 6?
Or should i just simply put it down?
Many Thanks -

No, I think you have to put all your formal qualifications down on your CV.(Original post by amanmanha)

Re: Omit A-level result in CVYou can't lie in your CV, so if you left school in year 7 that is what you must put. Leaving school with no A level equivalents is going to cause more problems that it solves, so you need to put your A levels on there. If you don't put your A level grades on your CV then employers tend to assume you got worse than CCC. So if you did, maybe you don't lose anything, but if you got better than that, best be clear about it.(Original post by amanmanha)
