    Getting Jobs without GED/Diploma
    I know people who already has a job when they apply for another job will sometimes get the job faster the guy who applying for the job but hasn't work in a minuter.right?work experience.So I work currently,but 50 questions away from attaining my GED that's I'm currently trying to find time to study for but I want a better job with better pay.so my questions is when I get to the education part on my application do I tell them I have a GED or I don't.I am 21,work history spent time at College trying to take up extra things and classes so I can past my ged test.went to took it past everything but the math.50 questions stands in my way... but the job is something I need right now.so do I tell the truth,tell a white lie?or just give up.. basically I want to know what you say when you don't have diploma or GED when you trying to get a job?hopefully they would hire me because I'm already working in a retail store.

    If you lie, and they find out they will fire you and having a bad job reference and no GED will be worst.

    Never lie on your application or resume. It will always come back to haunt you. You can put under education "in process of acquiring GED" that will show the employer that you are still working on it.
