I am finding it increasingly difficult to find better employment and I really think I get shrugged off because of no college.
I have the experience, I can do the work but the way companies word their offers makes it seem to me that if you have no degree then you have no chance.
For instance:
B.S & 1 year exp
A.S & 2-3 years exp
H.S & 4+ years of exp
I would qualify for the bottom one but because IMO I think they see I have no college I just get written off and thrown to the trash immediately.
FWIW this is for an IT position which IMO experience is valued a lot more than education. I've know a lot of people that had no degrees but were aptly able to do the job.
Seems like I will never get away from my dead end position now based on the above.
