I mean it leaves a big gap in my resume if I leave it out but if questioned about it I can't get any "official" proof.
Thanks a bunch.

Do you have any previous paperwork that shows your presence there?
Name on a curriculum or syllabus?
Face in a catalogue?
Pay stubs?
Have you stayed in touch with anyone who used to be there? Perhaps using LinkedIn or (shudder!) Facebook might help to locate them. |

Its better to list it than leave a gap. At worst, you don't have any proof, but they don't have any proof you didn't work there either. I think that as long as the rest of your resume isn't overly dodgy that an employer will understand this sort of thing.
The other folks on here have given you good advice though about trying to find something from the school with your name on it, or try to grab a reference from a co-worker there if you can find one. They will probably be glad to help... since they will be listing you as a reference as well most likely. |
