I feel like the courses/ qualifications we acquire must be thought out in more depth - for us to see their value, because these courses take us year to finish, only to find that experience is favoured more. I was fortunate to get a job that required experience yet I had none in this field of work I am currently in. I only have a qualification. It's really a concern that experience is favoured more now, with so many of us spending years at tertiary to obtain qualifications when experience is most likely what would guarantee us a job.Simthandile Mhlambisohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797813149925883752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801974412097906217.post-11690282919407448242017-07-25T00:31:40.315-07:002017-07-25T00:31:40.315-07:00What I see is that some very talent-picky companie...What I see is that some very talent-picky companies are already emphasizing experience over qualification, and that the qualification's value is going down while the value of experience is going up. I think in a not so distant future, a LinkedIn profile with many endorsements for know-how in certain fields, will be worth no less, maybe even more, than a diploma or certification.Matichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758037074893498577noreply@blogger.com
