Getting your foot in the door for a job interview starts with earning a degree
September 29, 2011
If you're a mother who is working multiple jobs and struggling to make ends meet, there's no better time than the present to change your life for the better. Heading to college to pursue your passion is the surefire way to find your dream job, and chances are, you may not get in the door without a degree.
Due to the lackluster job market, a bachelor's degree is nearly a necessity to find a job with a salary, benefits and long-term earning potential. Most employers won't even grant an interview to people who don't have a college degree, so heading to school may be your best option to find a fulfilling position.
While you're on campus, be sure to take advantage of any internships that may come your way. As important as a diploma is, working experience in your field will show a potential employer that you have paid your dues and know how to handle the environment.
Best of all, college is more affordable than ever with the many financial aid opportunities available. College scholarships and grants can significantly reduce the cost of tuition and help you avoid long-term debt.
