Help, Work Problem

Mr. Skeffington

Just looking for some help and advise on the following situation:

I am working with a company for the last 7-8 months and it is going quite well, the MD proposed a Diploma Bus Mgt course and I agreed that I would like to undertake but what he has asked me to do is to give him a copy of an updated C.V and a 1 page letter detailing why I should go on the course.

My first problem is where to start with the letter? Anyone have any ideas, templates etc?

Secondly, and this is the bad part, when I joined the company I had just completed a Degree in Mech Eng but I didnt get the exams, the MD assumed that I did and sent a mail around the company in advance of me starting explaining my background & educational qualifications, including the degree in Mech Eng. Since that mail I have just gone along with it and said nothing! So in the updated C.V I will be lying about the degree.

1 way I thought about getting around this is that the 3 year diploma course I did in Mech Eng before the degree is now being conferred as an Ordinary Degree course so I could write in the C.V that I have completeded all exams for the Ordinary Degree?

I guess I dont want to get cought up in too much lies as I am not too hot at telling fibs. Help Help!

TBH You'd probably get better help over in the work forum.

For the letter, simply write down a list of reasons why you want to go on the course and take it from there.

Sounds like there could be an interview process too Dunno how your gonna deal with that if you don't wanna lie anymore

For your CV there is no need to lie. Just put:
2001-2005 Degree course in Mech Eng XYZ college

You seem to suggest that your boss wants you to do the course so it shouldn't be too hard to get it. Maybe he is just looking for some proof of enthusiasm on your part. In your letter you could list the benefits that the course will bring to your company and your intention to stay working with your company after your course completes. Nightmare scenario for the boss is that you leave the day after course completion.
