Zheng [Registered User] 04 April 2017 02:40	is postdoc a qualification? User: Zheng - 04 April 2017 02:40 In an online employment questionnaire, I was asked to state my highest degree qualification. The selections were: PhD, postdoc, bachelor, master etc. I completed my PhD 3 years ago and I just finished my postdoctoral research fellowship. My question is: should I state my highest qualification as postdoc? Though I know postdoc is not a qualification, it is a job. I am just wondering if i state my qualification as postdoc, I might have a higher chance to get the job.

In an online employment questionnaire, I was asked to state my highest degree qualification. The selections were: PhD, postdoc, bachelor, master etc. I completed my PhD 3 years ago and I just finished my postdoctoral research fellowship.

My question is: should I state my highest qualification as postdoc? Though I know postdoc is not a qualification, it is a job. I am just wondering if i state my qualification as postdoc, I might have a higher chance to get the job.
