when they ask “subjects studied” on job application?

Question

I am filling out a job application, and in the section where they ask for the name of my high school, there is also a space for "subjects studied." What specific information are they seeking in this section? I recall being advised years ago to indicate whether my courses were academic or vocational—academic for college preparation and vocational if I do not plan to attend college. Is that what they are looking for? Thank you.

I’d say they want to know more about a major.  So if you had a major in Math, or English, that’s what I’d put.  After all, most people who graduate from the same high school have 80% of the same subjects studied.

They want to know what where your key subjects in school, i.e. math, science, wood shop, cooking, gardening, etc. List the subjects that will show that you knowledge of the job that you are applying for. If you are applying for an office job, they could care less about all of the physical education classes that you took; unless you are going to be a messenger.

Just put “general” — most hiring managers understand that no one has a specific concentration in high school.. unless you went to a school where you learned a trade (hair, automotive, etc.), in that case, write that down.
