[QUOTE="FUFred, post: 1245870, member: 46800"] Also, You can do it. I have a liberal arts degree form a state college, so that helped a lot, or I thought it would. I contacted the alumni board, went back and worked with someone on my resume. Last time I updated it was in 2000. I was shocked at what we came up with, all of it true, no bs and it helped me land a job, a career. Yes, I have a degree, but what many interviewers talked about was what I did at fedex. Most of the interview was about fedex. My current position is with a local company and I'm a of trainer/consultant. The skills I have to do my job came from fedex, I know hard to believe. After I was offered the job I asked my boss, was the main reason for hiring based on work experience or education. She said my education hadn't come into play because I don't have a business degree. She said 9 years working for fedex did, I again was speechless. The company I still hate, help me develop skills to land my current job. You just need someone who can dissect your work experience and re-word it, remember you are selling yourself. I've steered other former co-workers to resume workshops and they too have had success. I sent out 173 applications with cover letters all over the state I'm in and a few out of state. Out of those applications I landed 7 interviews and out of those came 2 jobs offers. It can be done but it will take a lot of hard work and effort. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
