Do you put "Pursuing...." in your resume?

Mike7

Was looking through resumes and found this

Pursuing OSCP and CISSP
Pursuing "....some training..."
Pursuing "... post grad course..."
Pursuing.....

Has anyone studied for and passed both OSCP and CISSP at the same time?

If you are far enough in the study to comfortably discuss the material then sure. I don't see how showing that you are actively studying is a bad thing but I would put an expected month and only one in case you're studying for multiple tests.

I think it's most important to list without experience. In my case I had an A+ while studying for Network+. Just listing the recently acquired A+ resulted in maybe 10% callbacks. Month later I put the Network+ with an expected date and within 3 weeks I had 2 job offers to decide between and 2 more after I decided with nearly 50% callbacks. Those were some busy weeks and hope to never revisit it.
