    Font - Recruiter thinks I'm faking my degree from Brown University because it's in Latin Some recruiters are complete idiots who have no idea that most of the the Ivy Leagues and many top universities on the east coast have their diplomas in Latin. Seriously, get fired already, you idiot.

    Font - *EDIT: I was offered the position and asked to send a physical copy of my diploma to prove that I did graduate. The recruiter reached out to me and said that my degree was not from the United States. I explained, but she accused me of lying and said that I was unethical due to the fact that my diploma was in Latin. I emailed the hiring manager and explained everything to her. She understands it now, but I'm still mad at the recruiter.

    Font - Euphoric Egg_41983 hr. ago I had to find mine because I couldn't get through the background check. The vendor my employer uses verifies your degrees as part of the background check. The campus I attended closed years ago and the main campus lost my records I ended up finding my old transcript, which was typed in word and signed by the program director and registrar. The vendor the background check company uses to verify education submitted the transcript to the school to confirm it was le

    Font - BunkytheClown. 6 hr. ago When has anyone ever had to use a diploma to apply for a job? That's just weird. If they insist on documentation for your degree (which seems weird too), you can use a transcript. In fact, when verifiable proof of a degree is necessary (like applying to a grad school), a transcript sent directly from the institution is the only thing that counts. Diplomas can be very easily faked. 106 Reply Share

    Font - Quillandfeather. 3 hr. ago Holy that's hysterically ignorant. Circa 1991 I lived in Louisiana and my mom wrote a check at Home Depot and the cashier wouldn't accept it because it was an out of state check. Reader, it was not. She thought LA meant Los Angeles, not Louisiana. THE VERY STATE SHE LIVED IN. 87 Reply Share

    Font - natewOw 6 hr. ago Wait this makes no sense. Why would a recruiter be looking at a physical copy of your diploma? I've literally never heard of this before. Also, possession of a degree would be easily verifiable as part of any normal background check that would occur as a condition of an offer of employment, but this would be done by HR after the interview process, not by a recruiter. I sense this post is an attempt at karma farming.

    Font - brunettebibliophila . 4 hr. ago. edited 41 min. ago I'm with you, OP. I did not go to an Ivy League school, but a private one in Pennsylvania and our degrees are in Latin too (they gave us a translation, but the actual diploma is all in Latin). I've been terrified that someone will think it's fake. I don't know Latin! Obviously, they could contact my school, but still. My last job asked for a physical copy of my diploma and I got a weird look for it but no one challenged it. I wondered ho

    Font - Ralphslogin 3 hr. ago You don't need any formal education to get a job as a recruiter. That is why you will occasionally run into an uneducated person. Request an alternate associate or another company. Recruiters are plentiful and there are always others to choose from. Never waste your time arguing with a fool!
