Also if 4.5 years of experience don't count then I don't know what does 🤣
I do not have a degree. Have worked supervisor, managerial, and HR positions for years. Make sure your resume shows your skills
Hello I would say if you don't have a degree get a good paid staffing job from your experience and in the interim see if they offer college tuition reimbursement. This way you can take classes and build experience at agency. This agency will most likely recommend you upon completion to a bigger job.
Patience and focus is the key.
You do not need a degree. Even if a job posting for a recruiter is asking for a bachelor’s degree, it’s usually a nice to have and you already have over 4 years of experience. Just make sure you have a great resume and your LinkedIn is up to date and start there.
I have been a recruiter for 20+ years and I do not have a degree. I have had great jobs without it BUT when I was laid off last time, it was hard to compete with those out of work with a degree. It seemed my 20 years could not compete or I was dealing with agism 🤔
Beef up your resume and apply like crazy. You'll find something. Even if it says in the requirement a degree is required it typically isn't specially if you have the experience.
Call Amergis Staffing. We are usually hiring. Degree is not required
Those of us that are seasoned recruiters are well aware that success in our role is required being detail-oriented and mature and experienced enough to read candidates well. While I have a college degree, never have I been asked about it, and that degree does not contribute to my success in this role. Do not let that requirement in the JD throw you. Apply and include a very succinct and well-written cover letter highlighting your skills and why you do them well.
Why are you leaving your current role?
Because of the commute. It took 2.5 to 3 hours just to get home. I did that for 4.5 years and it is was starting to get worse. Not to mention the gas it took.
Thank you.
Try getting a Professional of Human Resources (PHR) certification. It will show you are committed to HR/Talent and it is looked upon favorably by employers. The cost to take it is $500 but it'll probably get you the promotion you want which will make it worth it.
Thank you
The following organizations offer certifications without a degree required. Also check your local community College for shorter programs.
SHRM - Society for Human Resources Management
ASA - American Staffing Association
LinkedIn also offers some reputable certifications. You just have to pay for the premium long enough to complete the corses.
Good luck!
