	Grammar Geek  +  955949 Thu, 29 Oct 09 03:52 AM I assume you have only one BA and one MA, correct? I have both a bachelor's and master's in music.

If I write "I have both a bachelor's and master's in music", the sentence will give employer an impression that I got 1 BA degree in Music and 1 MA degree in Music. However, when he looks at my CV, he will know my MA degree is Music tech, but not music. I just worry that employers will feel my cover letter not telling the truth. uktous Letters, Cover Letter, Sentences, Business, Careers

I have a master's degree in Music Tech(nology? - spell out the full name) to complement my bachelor of arts degree in Music.   Most poeple would not make a big distinction between Music and Music Tech, but if the job you are applying to is in the music field, then you should be as specific as possible.   Grammar Geek
