I recently applied at Barnes and Noble and after a three month job search I decided to add that I had my associates degree since I am going to be completing it in less than a month. I got the job but first they are doing a background check. Obviously, it wasn't a position where my education was really relevant. It didn't require an associates degree but still I was growing impatient and figured it wouldn't hurt. Do background checks normally check for education if that isn't a requirement for the position. I'm just upset it's going to cost me the job when it's going to be the truth in less than 30 days anyway.
Added (1). wasn't* really relevant
