A credential evaluation report is more than just a requirement for some job applications; it can actively support your job search in several key ways:
-
Identify the Right Job Opportunities
Use the degree equivalency outlined in your report to focus on roles that align with your qualifications. For instance, if your degree is equivalent to a bachelor’s, you can confidently bypass roles requiring only a high school diploma. -
Strengthen Your Résumé and Cover Letter
Incorporate your credential evaluation into your application materials. Highlight that your international education has been evaluated and verified, showing that you meet the required educational qualifications for the role. You can also include your degree equivalency in the education section of your résumé to provide clarity to potential employers. -
Increase Confidence During Interviews
Bring a copy of your evaluation to interviews as evidence of your qualifications. Use the opportunity to emphasize your unique value, such as language skills and international experience, to stand out as a candidate. -
Support Salary Negotiations
If you receive a job offer, consider having the credential evaluation agency send your official report directly to your employer. This step helps validate your qualifications and ensures you are compensated fairly based on your skills and education.
