just turned my coworkers on to well done cfa shout-out @Unity

Of course it means something but u have to get noticed first and sell yourself to the company. You have to remember you’re one of many people likely applying for the same position. You have to stand out

serious question - why dont you lie that you received a degree?

I've been hired twice and they have never asked me to provide proof

I’ll take an email back at the very least..I can’t even get that. I’ve adjusted my resume’ many times as well as producing good cover letters as well, what else is there to do? Hop on the train over to these places and ask in person?

I just want a damn interview! I don’t want to be stuck working in the suburbs on a short staffed team(they currently only have 5 employees at that store). I’m just frustrated sorry.

start ur own brewery

More than likely they checked themselves

Just turned my coworkers in to the CDC for $1000 a pop for being unvaccinated

anecdote alert ❗❗❗ @lil_YZY_vert

u did the right thing

if they would never hire you for not having it. you are no worse off for lying

I get it man and feel free to vent your frustrations. I’m not saying to go above and beyond and visit them in person but sometimes it does take the extra mile to make yourself memorable

I haven’t applied for a job in a while but I understand it’s a challenging process. But again u have to realize they see tons of online or paper applications constantly. You have to make a first impression that separates yourself from the others

And what kind of first impression is that?

degrees basically just confirm that you can stick to something and complete it for a long period of time. thee's an assumption of responsibility tied to completing a 4-year degree

90% of the time what you learned in school is completely irrelevant.

Include a d*** pic with your resume

Wouldn’t staying at a job for 7 years and being promoted twice at that job say that too?

This day in age it’s almost expected of you to go to & complete school. If u don’t it’s almost an immediate red flag for basic hiring managers. It’s unfortunate but they are trained this way

yes, depending on how transferrable your skills are. the sad thing is that so much hiring is built on arbitrary guidelines which means many recruiters will simply throw out your resumé if you don't meet one specific thing, regardless of how skilled you are

Big college really runs the USA. A cash cow of proportions we don’t even understand

It’s so frustrating. My store closes in January so I have time but it just feels like I’m stuck here. The fact that I have full benefits and decent pay for what I do makes it hard too cuz it’s really hard for me to accept less than that from another place

Frog degree

one of my friends doesn't have any formal education but fluked his way into a project manager job. this dumbass quit recently, thinking he could use his PM experience to get a new job, and hasn't been able to find anything

This is the right answer

Also there are lots of IT jobs that don’t require degrees and jobs that require college degrees also require like 4+ years or experience
