Is this a client or a colleague? For colleagues I usually ask “where have you looked so far?” or “what have you already tried?” If they show me they made an effort I don’t mind helping, if not that’s usually enough of a subtle hint and helps them activate their own problem solving rather than giving them the answer.

Great advice.

I'm with you, but this just came to mind... Will we get to a point when we have to have a sign saying "don't confuse your Google search with my [select option: MBA, many years of experience, MSc]", just like medical doctors have reportedly started to do? 🙂

Not for MS Office functionality hopefully 😂

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
