Can a business find out if you have high school diploma?

It is generally illegal for an employer to ask for your high school diploma or any other educational records during the hiring process. This is because it is considered discriminatory and could have a negative impact on your chances of getting the job. However, there are some exceptions to this rule.

For example, if the job requires a high school diploma or equivalent qualification, the employer may be able to ask for proof of your education. Additionally, if you voluntarily provide your educational records to an employer, they may be able to use this information to make a hiring decision.

If you are concerned about your privacy, you can always choose to not provide your educational records to an employer. However, you should be aware that this may limit your job opportunities.

Here are some additional tips for dealing with questions about your education during the hiring process:

* Be honest about your educational background.

* If you do not have a high school diploma, be prepared to explain why and how you have compensated for it.

* Focus on your skills and experiences that are relevant to the job.

* Do not let anyone make you feel inferior because of your educational background.
