So I have decent experience within customer experience and sales for being quite young. Though back in high school through my 4 years I took 10 or more classes that were college courses and gave college credits. A mix between Business Management, Advertising and Marketing, then finally accounting. So I was wondering can I use any of these courses to influence Interviewers or would classes from high school like these not count?

These are for sure worthy of putting on a resume. The trick is to try your best to create a one page document that reflects why your the ideal person for the job. Look at the job requirements and then describe how those classes were aligned with the requirements without repeating the text they used.

Example

Must be efficient with time management

You could explain how you filled your time and took classes that were challenging and prepared you for understanding how you had to stay focused and determined to complete that course work blah blah.

That makes sense yeah thank you! I normally just put a major and minor for high school. Though I’ll look into explaining it deeper!
