Why require a college degree?
Higher education alone is no guarantee of a successful job,
experts say. Uncommon for the professional experience of the candidate, his
qualifications play a greater role than the presence of his diploma of higher
education.
However, if the employer will have to choose between the two
candidates with good experience, and at the same time one of them would be
higher education and the other does not, then most likely he will give
preference to the first candidate.
The fact that the presence of higher education implies a
special knowledge of the candidate, broad vision, the ability to analyze large
amounts of information and make appropriate conclusions. In addition, a college
education forms the skills of independent work, time management and
self-control.
However, at this point there is another opinion. Eychary
known as a "star", some graduates of prestigious universities, whose
ambitions are not always backed up by the necessary knowledge.
When higher education is compulsory, and when not to
the employer's requirements for qualification of staff is
strictly individual and depends on the sphere in which the applicant will work,
and from the post. A number of professions implies the obligatory presence of
higher education. Most of the banking professions requires staff deep
theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Therefore, usually banks prefer
candidates with higher education. Moreover, for some of the positions in the
bank having a higher education is necessary.
without a higher education specialist may not qualify for
position in the top management, economics, marketing, participate in the
development of new technologies and so on. e., as a wealth of knowledge that
will be needed for the work, you can only get in high school.
But not always, higher education is a fundamental condition
for admission to employment, experts remind.
For example, a sales manager does not require extensive
specialist knowledge, if only we are not talking about a very narrow segment.
And often the employer expects from the candidate primarily ability to
effectively sell, communicate and motivate the client.
In order to operate the customs declarant, and quite
secondary education, and sometimes only the courses in this specialty. The key
role played by experience and personal qualities in dealing with the admission
to such work. There was a case when a large foreign company to the position of
the declarant was adopted specialists with secondary special education, but has
all the necessary skills and impressive experience, and this "beat"
several candidates with higher education.
Whether to send a resume?
In some cases, not having higher education, send resume for
the position, where higher education is stated as a requirement (especially
narrow profile), is simply meaningless. And in others - is perfectly
acceptable.
The latter
is especially true for people of creative professions, such as designers. The
main criterion for the evaluation of these candidates is not education, and their
jobs. If the specialist is talented, he has a good experience and a lot of
creative ideas, it can bring much greater benefit to the employer than the
person who does not have these qualities, but has a higher education.
You can safely send your resume to the employer if your
experience meets the expectations of the employer. We had a candidate is, which
did not have higher education, but for a long time worked in the western
companies. When considering her candidacy for the post of accountant fundamental
criterion was its vast experience and excellent recommendation of a previous
employer.
Not all candidates have a higher education. Nevertheless,
they are masters of their craft, working effectively and get a good salary. If
a person is "in place", he loves his profession and wants to develop
it, then whatever education he had not, he always has a chance to realize in
your favorite business.
