Roman was passed over for a job in the final stages of salary negotiation when the company realized he didn’t finish his college degree. He wants to know how to navigate future job opportunities.

What is the best approach to landing senior roles without a degree?

Tessa gives tips on job hunting and interviewing without a degree.

Interviewing:

• Do not lie.
• Change the conversation from what you’re lacking to the practical experience you have that makes up for the missing courses.
• Double down on your value proposition.

Entering the job search:

• Update your LinkedIn profile.
• Get clear on your value proposition. What is the problem you solve and why should someone hire you? Get specific.
• Include your value proposition and professional highlights at the top of your LinkedIn profile and your resume.
• Use AI to help your resume hit key words from the job description of your desired role.
