DH has recently been made redundant and is updating his CV (yes, he will tailor it for each application, just trying to get the basics done!).
DH got decent O Levels (obviously this is a giveaway as to his age) but came from a working class family where no one went to university, so he left school and has effectively worked his way up.
However, job adverts for the job he has been doing for the last 10+ years (and even ones at the level below) always ask for a degree - which obviously DH doesn't have.
DH's CV has all his experience first in reverse chronological order. He then has a section where he lists his O Levels. I think he should take this section out as it detracts from his great experience and just highlights his lack of degree. DH thinks he ought to include the fact that does have 5+ O Levels at Grade A-C and worries that a future employer will wonder why he hasn't included an education section.
Is there a "right"/better way?
