What is the best way to represent my Life Experience Degree to employers?
This is what you need to do to be successful with your Life Experience Degree. List it on your resume toward the bottom. Do not try to hide it. Do not be ashamed of it. Do not include it on your cover letter. You are selling your skills and abilities. The psychology behind this is that you want the employer to be interested in you all through reading of your resume. When (if) the hiring manager gets to the part about your having a degree, he/she will be so relived that you meet the minimum qualification that it will not be as much of an issue. Most resumes get less than a 30 second glance. Get your story out BEFORE they see your education. Let that college degree act only like a “check box” requirement (such as “are you over 18?” and “are you legally allowed to work in the United States?”) and not a qualification. What can I do to ensure acceptance of my Life Experience Degree? Next you should see if the college will BACKDATE your degree. Get your degree dated 10 years back or more and
