Coronavirus COVID-19

Experience, education ... COVID vax status? More job candidates put it on their resumes.

  • According to a survey of 1,250 hiring managers in August by ResumeBuilder.com, 63% of companies are requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for staffers.
  • LinkedIn says 4% of its job postings require vaccination, while Indeed says 5.4% of its ads do -- up from about 1% in September.

As a near-record number of Americans switch jobs each month, they’re wrestling with a dilemma that has nothing to do with the employment gap created by a pandemic-related layoff.

The question, borne of our unprecedented COVID-19 era: Should you include your vaccination status on your resume?

The short answer: It probably won’t hurt and could help you land a position.

As a result, a growing number of vaccinated job candidates are acknowledging that status on their resumes, career and resume advisors say.

The question is a thorny one because vaccinations themselves have become somewhat controversial.
