Yes, it does. That’s the short answer. But there are many nuances.
Education on a resume is particularly important in the early stages of a career. The more senior a specialist becomes, the more attention an employer will pay to work experience and past projects rather than the “Education” section.
European companies often pay attention to education and may require a minimum level, such as a bachelor’s degree. Post-Soviet Union companies are usually less demanding.
Some employers set specific educational requirements for candidates, such as “computer science” for developers. For art positions, certain schools or courses may be valued.
Our advice: it’s worth mentioning all diplomas, certificates, and courses in your portfolio. Sometimes education can set you apart from similar candidates in your field.
