If your education degree listed as the educational requirements for the position are in different specialties, you should describe how each specialty is related to your job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the degree requirement is a general term for multiple different specialties, such as \u201cengineering<\/strong>\u201d or \u201cbusiness administration<\/strong>\u201d you should explain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- whether any degree under that general description would be sufficient or <\/li>
- if only those with certain specialization (for example, based on a combination of education and experience) would be acceptable.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
