Abstract :The purpose of this study is to analyze the presentation of educational qualifications in job seeking behavior. The study is based on the resumes uploaded on e-job search portals. In the study, a total of 114 resumes belonging to individuals who were seeking jobs in the informatics, industry and service sectors was examined. The data obtained from the resumes were analyzed with content analysis. As a result of the study, it is argued that the theory of human capital, which establishes a linear relationship between education and employment, is insufficient to explain the relationship between education and employment, and at the same time has an ideological functio n by separating employment from social context.
