Do employers really check if you have a degree?

Can employers look up your major/ degree?

  • How do employers know that you graduated from the school you list on your resume? how can they check your degree is in?

  • Answer:

    Yes, they simply do a "simple" background check... can be performed on anyone and usually larger companies have memberships to programs/services that will do it for them. The more higher paying or prestigious the job, the more likely they will check your information.
