Should I put ABD on my resume?

Answer by  tracyt (65)

Yes, you should put ABD on your resume. If your are trying to gain employment with an academic institution then the human resources or academic affairs office will want to know how close you are to completing your Ph.D.

I suggest you leave it off. Future employers like resumes short and to the point. The less the better. You can recap your dissertation in the interview.

It depends on what position you are applying for. Also, do you intend to do the dissertation at a later time? Is the dissertation in progress? If you are getting a terminal degree, like a master's, you can just leave it at that.
