Qualification Vs. Experience

Hi
Would like to request all the senior people to throw some light.
I am having good experience in HR ( Now doing MBA tru DDE) but no degree but still on a good position in HR. My team member has Degree in HR but no experience.
I am having various certifications in HR ( different fields).
Please comment.
Thanks
Manish

Hi Manish,
HR is a psychology based subject & a mix of facts & techniques. Your proficiency in the subject proves that you are a good situation handler. Now that you are doing a degree course in MBA as well, this combined with your experience will surely take you places.
Touch more heights.

Hi...

I have known by personal experience that some companies even refuse to consider your resume if you do not have a Masters in HR. I have found this to be a restraining factor as regards myself. In most cases preference is given to those candidates who have MBA in HR. Experience, right attitude, and other skills seem to be rarely considered.

I think just having a degree doesn't necessarily make you the right choice for a job. Many other factors play an important role like attitude, communication skills, sincerity, willingness to learn and contribute, etc. Really an unfortunate situation. As I see it - how will you get the necessary exposure and experience without companies considering you??!! In some cases, an employee without a Masters degree can contribute just as well as an employee having one and maybe even more than an employee with a Masters if he/she has the right attitude towards the job.

I have expressed my views as per my current observations in the job scenario. Maybe other people have other things to say!!
