They've just wasted 45-60 min of YOUR TIME by sending you an automated email "thanks (but no thanks) we've received...."  I especially love the tech geniuses who INSIST on you scrambling with actual dates, blah - and the fields that aren't specific - yet when you Submit you're suddenly met with an unfriendly popup "sorry you didn't follow the directions"  What Directions?  It's beyond frustrating. I actually got a hold of one Co. tech support who apologized, their system had been malfunctioning for some time, etc. Would I care to apply in person .. they were 40 min. away. No I'm not wasting my gas for a paper application! Fix the problem, it's what they're paid for! ...  @eastendgirl1 I so hear you!  It’s ridiculous that MANY Co. sites are now requiring the lengthy app process, including a “personality profile”.

Per your comment, simply listing Undergrad course credits IS sufficient, followed by present pursuit decreed education.  And yes, dates should definitely be listed. Ron, I commented this above too..

Has worked for me. Actually Michelle –  you can still list any UNDERGRAD education you’ve had, long as you opt in the key courses you took.

A crafty recruiter had me tweak my resume with Temporary Administrative-Customer Service. Any employer who sees this title (and my years of exp) obviously realizes that title means ALL areas of Administrative work (accounting, OA, data entry, etc)   The whole idea was for me to condense all those split times/years into the solidity of Temporary/contract experience  :)  One suggestion I might make here..

It's still a bite market out there. A friend recently finished his Bachelor's (business) and was facing similar obstacles; receiving 'polite' no-thank you's, like yours. He was lucky enough to find a job coach/recruiter at our local agency that specialize in recent grads. Keep looking and good luck! sorry that happened, Jess. It’s still a bite market out there.
