If the employer asks for a bachelor's degree, should I apply?

[Deja Q]

I have no bachelor's degree, but I've got other degrees and YEARS of experience in the field.

I know my employer looks at qualifications and instantly tosses out any that don't meet the degree criteria.

1. Dependin upon what the job is yes!

2. Can't hurt.

Other degrees/certifications + experience = probably better for the job than an applicant who just got his BS...

3. Yes--unless the job is STRICTLY entry-level

Your related experience should trump any book-learning.

4. Absolutely, just be sure you have a kick-ass cover letter

A good cover letter can make all the difference.

6. Yep...

It worked for me. They wanted a bachelor's degree, but my industry experience, license, and a good interview did it for me.

7. Yes, apply...experience in the field often make up for

the lack of a degree. If you are lucky enough to get an interview and they ask about a college degree, you can say you are still working on a degree.

10. Yes

have watched folks hiring - get their eye caught on an interesting resume that may not include one key thing they thought (when writing the ad) was essential...
