The job market is highly competitive, as many of you may know, and there has been many a talk about whether or not you need a degree to secure yourself a job.
Miriam Salpeter, who wrote the article, “How important is a college degree for your job prospects?” says the way you present yourself in an interview is more important than having an academic transcript to your name. “No matter how ‘qualified’ you are, knowing how to market your qualifications is much more crucial. Your ability to connect your skills and accomplishments to an organization’s needs will be just as important as actually having the basic qualifications.”
However there are a few companies that will not even see you if you do not have a degree. Have you ever considered taking up a University course or even a tafe course?
If you do not have a degree don’t give up looking! Be willing to start at the bottom and work your way up in a company and you never know where that could lead you! A willing and positive attitude goes a long way.
