Hello folks,
I have applied for a job recently and have been invited to interview.
I have a BSc and am in the process of compl? eting a BA (in year 4).
I stated on the application that I would be graduating in 2014.
One of the essential criteria was a BA in relevant field, or equivalent. (Technically I do not meet this criteria - I do not actually have a BA yet).
One of the shortlisting panel phoned me and asked if I had the degree given that I stated on the application that I would graduate in 2014. I told her that I had a BA, that the degree programme provided exit routes at cert, diploma and degree stage. This was not true - there is no option to exit and degree level in year 3 - you must complete the 2 year degree cycle.
I have been asked to interview and asked to bring evidence of qualifications with me. What do I do? Do I come clean and give up my chance of being interviewed or do I bluff - bring my diploma and BSc and explain my error on the day?
Advice appreciated.
