I'm not sure if there's a better way to do this; but I put the years I
attended college on my resume because I never graduated and I feel
uncomfortable misleading potential employers into thinking I have a
degree. I also put on the major I was studying and if in an interview
I am asked about my degree I am up front that I don't have one.

My resume doesn't have a date or even school name. It simply says "BS,
Biology, currently working on Masters in English at Honors level" and I've
never been asked for further details.

If an employer has to ask when you graduated high school/college, it
must not be stated on the resume. Is it now preferable to leave
graduation dates off the resume?
Thanks
