How about this: “Over the course of my 15+ years in the tech industry, I have acquired extensive experience and knowledge through hard work, determination, and perseverance. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to take on increasingly complex challenges and responsibilities, and have steadily progressed through the ranks to achieve my current level of expertise. While I do not hold a formal degree, my hands-on experience and practical skills have allowed me to excel in my field and consistently deliver results. I am confident that my track record of success and demonstrated ability to thrive in dynamic and rapidly-evolving environments will make me a valuable asset to any team.”
I got you…
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am excited to submit my application for the open position at your company, and I hope to be considered for this role. As a highly experienced professional with over 15 years of experience in the tech industry, I am confident that I have the skills, expertise, and commitment required to excel in this position.
Throughout my career, I have worked hard to advance and develop my skills, ultimately climbing the corporate ladder through a combination of dedication, hard work, and determination. While I do not hold a degree, I am proud to have been able to prove myself through my work and achieve a level of success that is commensurate with my peers who do hold degrees.
My work experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the technical aspects of the industry, as well as the soft skills that are necessary to succeed in a fast-paced and demanding environment. I am highly proficient in a wide range of technologies, and I have experience in leading cross-functional teams and managing complex projects.
As I search for a new job, I am keen to highlight that my skills and experience are more than capable, even when compared to those who have a degree. I am a highly motivated and results-driven professional, and I believe that I would be an asset to your team.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my experience in more detail.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
I feel this way too. I really don’t know that there is an eloquent way to put it. I am in the same boat. Landed in Insurance and have worked my way up as well without a degree. Honestly, if you’re applying for another job, don’t even tell them about your lack of degree, let your experience speak for itself in a well written cover letter and detailed resume. That would perfectly exemplify your experience and really, once you get to a point, do they even really ask you about degrees anymore? I’m not in tech so I don’t know how much a degree weighs Vs experience
Rising Star
Honestly, unless it is a job that requires a degree your education is largely meaningless after about 5 years of experience. And, even jobs that do require a degree usually have an "or equivalent experience" qualifier. No one has asked my about my education in years and I often don't even see educational requirements for many senior or higher jobs.
If you are really worried, leave the "Education" section off your resume and instead focus on listing your experience.
Pro
I’m not theory. I am proof.
Let your 15+ years experience speak for itself and speak to your successes that are most relevant to the role you're interviewing for. I've hired several people without degrees and no one has brought it up in the interview process.
Don’t bring attention to your lack of degree unless it is ask by the interviewer. Instead, showcase your expertise, accomplishments, and the value you bring to each role. That will speak for itself, no eloquence needed!
