Other Letters after the Name (Degrees, Certifications and
Licensures)
You must have seen some sample resumes that have letters
after the names. Generally, these letters stand for what
those people have achieved academically. At other times, the
letters pertain to specific certifications that those
professionals have acquired during the course of their
careers. It has always been considered that including degree
and certification suffixes is an effective way to get the
“Wow” reaction from hiring managers or potential employers.
A warning though, that is not always the case. If you
have a doctoral degree or a master’s degree that you are
proud of, you would probably want that included in your
name. The thing is, you may want to consider the position
you are applying for first before you include a PhD or an
MS. It is all about relevance, actually. You would be
at a disadvantage if you include an advanced degree if you
are scaling back on your career. A PhD is not going to make
a potential employer impressed if they are not filling up an
administrative position. Do not make yourself look
overqualified because that would be your downfall. You will
have the chance to emphasize on your degree in the
Educational Background part of your resume. As for
undergraduate degrees like BS, BA and AA, it is best to
totally eliminate them from your name when writing a resume.
For a medical designation, it is a must to use it if you are
applying for a position wherein you are going to use the
title. For instance, an RN after your name is a-must if you
are applying to be a nurse. Otherwise, just let the
potential employers find out about your designation in other
parts of your resume.
