Its kinda crazy every place needs a high school diploma or ged to work even if the job is minimum wage like what? Do the people who didn't graduate not need to eat or live? So many people have made mistakes by not finishing school because they made mistakes as kids or as troubled youth ....that dont mean to make it impossible to get a job for them and make it to where they cant even survive

Sadly it is the lowest one you must have, you can get it online for free from a community college or contact unemployment office for a location to get one. Many of us have higher degrees and they are also looked at as a simple GED these days, it's crazy out here. I do understand the issue but many companies are this way sadly.

In my opinion if I was a hiring manager, working experience would mean be drastically more compelling than a high school diploma. I don’t even know how you could prove you have a high school diploma. Does that show up on a background check?

They straight up ask to see the diploma and if you dont provide it they can refuse you work

It’s so random to me, I think they just put that so they have something to measure people against? Honestly though I think if people already have experience; they’re more likely to ignore the education part.

I have been ignored countless times because i dont have a diploma even tho I have 7 years experience

I am looking for a new job at the end of a long career. I have excellent experience in IP and Supply Chain Management. I've been fortunate to be in a high-paying position in the Los Angeles area and I rarely see comparable positions posted. The comparable positions at my company are filled by one of the big executive search firms. Any recommendations for finding the rare executive-level legal positions or for landing on the radar of the big executive search firms would be much appreciated!
