Students are increasingly choosing online studies due to the flexibility, accessibility and cost savings. Employers have not been as receptive and when hiring, will often choose a face-to-face graduate over an online graduate. If online graduates cannot overcome negative attitudes they may not be hired and employers may overlook qualified applicants. This qualitative multiple case study examines what signals or information an online graduate can supply on a resume to overcome any negative attitudes employers may have towards online degrees. Signaling theory indicates that signals can be provided on a resume to communicate unobservable traits to a potential employer. This study presented fifteen human resource professionals from New Brunswick, Canada, with a fictional job description and four resumes of MBA graduates (two face-to-face graduates and two online graduates). Each resume included various signals relating to education and skills possessed by the applicant and asked the participants to rank the resumes in order of hiring preference. The results indicated that there was minimal negative attitude toward the degree and the skills that the online student had developed during studies such as communication, interpersonal skills, and teamwork were of high-value to the employers. Skills that the student acquired by being on campus such as involvement with sports or campus activities were viewed as low-value. The participants did not see a need to draw attention to the fact that the student studied online as the method of delivery as 13 of the 15 participants saw the degrees as equal. These findings can benefit the online graduate by guiding resume development to overcome any negative attitudes of employers. Future research could expand on the geographic area of explore the seemingly positive feelings towards online graduates by New Brunswick human resource professionals.
