What do employers think about online degrees?
Employers are impressed when employees take the initiative to further their education. The more experience and knowledge an employee has the more attractive they are to current and future employers. Barry Dinkins, Human Resources: When I’m looking through resumes and applications I pay close attention to two things: education and experience and one can offset the other. In all honesty a degree speaks volumes about a person’s capability. It not only says that a person has the skills, knowledge and ability to do a job but it also comments on their level of commitment and dedication. I’ve heard managers say that when promotion time comes around they look for someone who has been consistently attentive and resourceful as well as those who have furthered their education while on the job. A well-educated employee is a great asset to any company.
