Hi :)

My card just got accepted so waiting on that to come over to me. 

I'm of the mind set of at first getting whatever job I can but it may be difficult under current circumstances. 

Do many jobs recognise qualifications and previous experience if they're from a different country? Should i even bother naming the qualifications (minus my degree) and instead write "graduated high school" or something? 

Thanks

Experience doesn’t change from country to country. Education and degrees do. Have you looked at job applications? I think you are thinking too much into it. Applications are pretty straight forward in what they are asking you.

Do you mean naming GCSEs or specific A-levels?  They wouldn’t understand the terminology. Graduated high school on an application form with no space except for the date would suffice. If you have a Uni degree, then don’t leave that off.
