I missed the BTS.

Solved/Closed

Hello, I just saw that I failed my BTS. I plan to retake it as a private candidate next year.
But I absolutely need to work during this year; financially, it’s essential. (I’m 23 years old, in a relationship)
I don’t know how to approach companies by mentioning that I have a failed BTS (for example, in cover letters). Will I still be able to find a job? I’m very worried.

Hello,

Hi Iron :)

In that case, in cover letters, without mentioning the words "failure", "missed", "didn't get", etc... You just say "BTS level", and you specify that you will retake it next year as a private candidate. This way of presenting things is perfectly correct and acceptable.

Good luck!

Really not at the right time! 
You woke us up in the middle of our nap.
But hey, we adapted: we decided to have the digestif earlier than planned.

Well, exactly. 

So, due to the intense emotion generated, our "thirst" index went up and Jeff had to return to the supplies, as the cellar had been emptied earlier than expected.

This once again proves the butterfly effect!
But hey, watch out next time: give a call to see if you can reach out.

Hello,
My field is quite different from yours, but the same rules apply when I look at the current job market. I have worked in commercial and administrative assistance without any formal qualifications.
I relied on my various extracurricular internships and the skills I gained from different temporary jobs. I created a reverse-chronological CV highlighting my abilities and the most significant experiences. I tailored my cover letter to the specific company. I had the opportunity to secure a permanent contract in a small SME and prepared for my BTS through VAE while working.
I had to accept a lower-paying job while I proved myself. Despite failing my BTS, I received an internal promotion and a significant pay raise for over 10 years.
I don't know if this meets your expectations, but nothing ventured, nothing gained...

Iron? :)

Thank you for your clarification, I hadn't thought of that. Do you think I have a chance of finding something in the field of Maintenance?
Thank you

Who knows, it depends on what employers are looking for.
A diploma is one thing, but it doesn’t mean everything; putting into practice what you have learned is very important.

Hello,
I join the other comments. I also missed a BTS - I mentioned the level on my CV. I had the opportunity to work for several years in a company without the diploma. Knowledge is one thing, but motivation and experience can make the difference, especially if you mention that you intend to retake it as a private candidate and highlight your professional skills (internships or others). There are opportunities in the job market. You are young, don't hesitate, it's an extra asset for employers.
Good luck
