The job I have now had a listing that “required” a degree.
The job I had before I got promoted had a listing that “required” a degree.
The 5 calls a week I get average asking me to move to a different company also tend to lead me to believe that I will have no issues finding a job if I lost mine.
Why did I get my job? I have more experience than the other guy, and they knew someone who knows me who vouched for me.
PS. I have a couple billionares writing me recommendation letters.
