This piece on the BBC caught our attention this morning. More students than ever are earning undergraduate degrees and more people are taking on second degrees but perhaps still lack hands on experience (including in HR).
Two degrees now needed to get higher pay - BBC
Some time ago Rachel asked: “if you could take just one more qualification what would it be...?” and a few people suggested a Masters in HR. Keith added that “HR people [could] always benefit from a good understanding of finance.”
Or should we disregard educational qualifications in the recruitment process entirely?
As Keith said on that particular thread:
"There is no magic answer that will open the doors to a HR career for you. As with all careers it’s a combination of hard work, luck, qualifications, experience and being in the right place at the right time."
What do you value more in a candidate: education, experience and/or attitude?
