I started my career with a Diploma in Graphic Design, then worked my way up from graphic designer to marketing executive, running successful campaigns and delivering results.
But here’s the thing:- despite years of experience and proven results, getting opportunities at the right level is still tough.
So, employers, I have to ask:
How much do you really value experience and results vs. formal degrees?

My experience has been that degrees matter for entry level but you have to relearn everything once you’re in a. New job anyway. So in addition to experience and results, i think it’s critical to somehow be able to demonstrate learning agility, ability to operate and succeed in ambiguity. Perhaps that’s through talking about results but too often results beg the question of if you are directly responsible for them part of a big team that collectively was responsible for them

I've definitely seen a shift towards valuing experience and skills rather than formal education. Back in the day, you couldn't get anywhere without a degree and now I don't think that's the case. But a lot of employers prefer a mix of both, I think.
