How do I get a good job without a college degree?

Posted by admin
JoeH 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.

      some times people with no degree also get good jobs and they r happy.
      if u havent graduate i would suggest you to take a class up and work on it also.
      u will have to go through burden but guess what it pays off.

      if u dont have a degree and need a good job be confident of your self in what u will do.

      get in staffing agencies and u will get good salary and commission

      A Bachelors is a type of weeding out that companies do. You are right, they won’t even talk to you without it.

      Try applying at a private company, as opposed to a publicly held one. They are more lenient.

      Depending on how long ago you dropped out, put on your resume that you are continuing your education, not that you stopped.
