How do I get a good job without a college degree?
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008JoeH asked:
I went to college but didn’t graduate. I am of above average intelligence, I write very well, I’m well-rounded and a great worker. I’m a people-person, dedicated to the team and, according to my former bosses, a great employee. Now that I’m looking for work again I find that prospective employers won’t talk to me — AT ALL! — despite what I can do for them, for the simple fact that I don’t have that piece of paper. It’s frustrating because I know I’m more accomplished and experienced, let alone intelligent and capable, then many people with a degree. Going back to school is not an option right now. I want someone to look beyond the lack of degree situation and see that I’m more than capable of handling any challenge handed to me.
