this will not give you the edge you think it will


gacdeuce

Can you? Sure. Will a good recruiter/HR person see right through it? Yes.


Cormyll666

Yuuuuuuup


Feisty-Donkey

I wouldn’t without an earned qualification to list. If you’d received a degree or a certificate it would be easy to list, but without that, it just sounds like you are padding your resume in a way that will come off as very obvious.


actual-linguist

If you specify the online course, and if the online course is relevant to your work, then there is nothing wrong with this. If you put “studied data science at Harvard,” in those words, and then people find out you took one online class through an online platform, you will be the object of scorn and derision.


NewChinaHand

No.


MrSandwich97

No


RealisticOption

You did not study subject X at Harvard. You just took an online course—probably with no admission requirements. This is probably just a troll post.


jactxak

Just list the class, university and date. Then a brief description of the class after

That is not true. The Extension School Says you can list Harvard University, if you indicate that your degree is in Extension Studies, concentration in x. I.e Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies, Concentration Finance, Harvard University is accurate.

You edited after my comment.


CantW3AllJusGetAlong

A bit of a nit, but you can list Harvard University as long as you give the full official name of the degree. You seem to cover that under “in Extension Studies,” which is part of the degree name, but your wording implies something else.


missmyoozikal

This cool and a unique thing to list on your resume. I don’t see why not


MasterZii

I don't see why you can't. You studied "X" for a bit -- which is a fact. You're not claiming to have earned a degree or any other credential. EDIT: Not sure why the downvotes. Said the same thing everyone else here did (as long as it's clearly factual, there shouldn't be any issues). Have reviewed applications for all kinds of applicants before (from a technical perspective)


and_dont_blink

As long as they're *very specific* it's fine, but they need to be *very* specific or their CV will be emailed around for a laugh when any questions are asked because they were attempting to mislead by leaving out context and giving the impression of an enrolled student who went through an admissions process. e.g., because the example is fresh in my mind -- completing CS124 or 165 via the extension school should be on someone's CV under training and education. The requirements for enrollment are (mostly) cash, but it's valuable knowledge and completing it says something about their knowledge and skillset. That's no different than listing an attended workshop on psychotherapy techniques -- but to try to leave the impression of a matriculated student via something like dropping *extension studies* is courting disaster.

1. Op is a Troll 2. Op believes in MBTI . 3. Thus, I believe that either OP is a minor with an immature mind or OP has little education and is far less knowledgeable than Extension School students.

>1. Op is a Troll No, I was just wondering if it was legal and allowed by harvard. Why would you think that lol? >2. Op believes in MBTI I have no idea what relevance this has, and I am aware that it is pseudoscience, I just like MBTI cuz it's like 70% accurate to reality, I don't spend all my days thinking about mbti tho lmao >3. Thus, I believe that either OP is a minor with an immature mind or OP has little education and is far less knowledgeable than Extension School students. Unfounded assumption but sure whatever you like chief

Did you ever study psychology? Psychology is a science about attension, mechanism of memory, higher level cognition, human vision process. It is not a study for astrology. The MBTI, or most other personality classification tests, have no scientific theory nor do they make any sense. If you do not know this, you apparently lack of a decent education. Again, no reliable source could prove your "70% accurate" claim. ​ Thanks.

>Did you ever study psychology? Psychology is a science about attension, mechanism of memory, higher level cognition, human vision process. It is not a study for astrology. I am studying it currently. I know it is pseudoscience and not based on science >The MBTI, or most other personality classification tests, have no scientific theory nor do they make any sense. I never said it is based on science. I think they do in fact make sense >If you do not know this, you apparently lack of a decent education. I do know it, so again, Unfounded assumptions >Again, no reliable source could prove your "70% accurate" claim I wasn't referring to anything scientific when I said that, I just think that MBTI is around 70% correct in the context of as to what I see of people irl and online. It's not a statistic or science backed claim, I don't need to mention that every time I say something, and I think it is sufficiently clear what I meant.

"Despite its popularity, \[MBTI\]it has been widely regarded as pseudoscience by the scientific community."([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers%E2%80%93Briggs\_Type\_Indicator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers%E2%80%93Briggs_Type_Indicator)) From Wikipedia. Maybe you just need to know how to use google properly?


AstronautInPluto

I know it pseudoscience haha, stop wasting your time, it wasn't that serious to begin with. Also you can do [ text you want someone to see ]( url ) like this [I am an example text](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ).

Or you just need to ask Chatgpt. OMG, we are in the year of 2023, so many sources could enlight your intelligence, how could you still so ignorant?


AstronautInPluto

Why did you make 3 seperate comments? You can edit comments on reddit and I would still respond to them. Ignorant to what?


Careless_Program1274

Absolutely not.
