Skills only but no Degree

4 pointsby gdiocarezalmost 11 years ago
Is it possible to work without a degree? I've been working on a company for 3 years using Ruby on Rails. Now I'm looking for a job remote/ online.

As a point of job search strategy -- avoid HR flunkies, who have been trained to check for pedigree and credentials.<p>Instead, focus your search on interfacing with senior managers and executives that could use your specific expertise. Typically you&#x27;ll have a higher success rate with small companies that no one has heard about.

Show a portfolio or have a credible referral. Usually skill does not go unnoticed when you work with people.

remote work doesn&#x27;t require any degree in my experience, you just need some projects under you belt to show as your portfolio.
