It’s 2018, and the world is changing. Education is changing.

Before, hard work and working your way up in a company was a common path for most. It allowed exposure, growth, experience, and security. However, things have changed.

How a College Degree Affects Your Resume

Now, the first thing employers look at on a resume is the level of education. Did they go to school? What degree do they have? If so, where did they obtain that particular degree?

Working your way up in a company has faded. Earning a college degree is an accomplishment that gives you a head start. When employers see a Bachelor’s degree on a resume, they see commitment, professionalism, and passion.

Degrees not only give you a competitive edge in the application process, but a college experience can also benefit you in a variety of other ways.

 

How The College Experience Can Help You

College gives you the chance to try new things, learn about yourself, make friendships, and experience different ideas and ways of thinking.

Colleges provide you with so many different resources. There are professional resources such as job fairs, internship opportunities, and interview and resume workshops. There are educational resources such as tutoring services, writing workshops, and events with professional speakers.

Having a college degree opens doors to many places and helps you in the long run.

Overall, a college degree is one factor that can automatically put you in the running for a position, but having little to no education can potentially disqualify you from the opportunity.
