Can strong professional experience compensate for the lack of an academic degree — or vice versa? When a job ad points to a master’s degree as a required qualification, how strict will the aid group really be?
We hear these questions all the time from job seekers — and usually, the answer is: Employers make few to no exceptions when it comes to job seekers with a sub-par academic background.
The topic also came up during our one-hour webinar, “How to succeed as a development consultant.” The webinar featured former human resource experts from DAI, one of the world’s largest development consultancies: Daniel Head, senior international recruiter at the company’s economic growth division, as well as Recruitment Manager Katie Levy and Associate Recruiter Sophie Montmey of DAI Europe.
