10 Years of Experience, but No Degree?

What happens when you have vast knowledge and experience but no degree? Getting a great position without a degree shouldn’t be a problem.

What happens when you have vast knowledge and work experience but no degree? There are a few different ways of looking at this hurdle, but thinking that you can’t get a great position without a degree shouldn’t be one of them.

In general, many large companies require a bachelor’s degree. Because of the volume of resumes they receive, many companies have filters in place to cut down the number of eligible applicants, and having a bachelor’s degree is usually one of them. This is where many non-degreed job searchers get stopped; but if you are determined to work at a certain company or in a skill area where you have experience and passion, here is where your personal branding will come in handy.

In all cases, degreed or not, the key to getting a job in the area that you want is the ability to market yourself with confidence and use your network.
