Should you put your year of (college) graduation on your resume?

Call HR and say that you noticed an incorrect section of your application that you would like corrected. Explain that the first graduation date was an anticipated graduation date and that your actual graduation date was December of 2009.

If it's just a blank on your CV, it will look like you were unemployed, which for such a long period is very bad. Or have you told them a lie? The safe thing to do is own up now.

Before you apply, call your future boss at the other site, say you are interested in the job but you just found out there was a mistake in your HR record, and ask if it will make any difference. It probably won't, cause for an internal transfer they will be most interested in your performance at your current post. Nobody is gonna blame you for a clerical error made by someone else, not unless it was obvious you knew about it before now.

If you have already told a lie to get your current job, then anything you do is risky. In that case, given that you're already an employee and the company won't want to pay for unnecessary background checks, you might want to let the 2002 date lie. Of course, when you next change employers you will be screwed.... Response to OP comments: If you already sent your application with the 2002 start date, then you're stuck with it.

You just have to hope they won't notice. For what it's worth, my dad (a successful executive) told me when I graduated that your academic record doesn't matter much after your first job. Subsequent employers are always more interested in your most recent achievements, and often they don't bother checking your qualifications.

Because this is an internal transfer, I would bet on you getting away with it... unless you let it slip at the interview. You've got to stay cool. For your next job after this, send out a CV with your real 2009 graduation on it, and make the jobs you had before then look like part-time student work.

If anyone notices, you can still call that a typo.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
