I have40+ years in engineering from apprenticeship to management, all of the positions I apply for I could do standing on my head, but I feel that the lack of "graduate" status lets me down Why with my experience should this be? I would be an asset to the firms I apply too.
My opinion on this question , is that experience an qualification are going side by side ,and you can’t separate one from anther specially in this era. In some fields of jobs just like Maintenance engineering experience is important because it is shorten delay time of problem solving and in the same time we need qualified employee to be good enough to be update with new technologies be produced by factories and companies.
qualification and personality are far more important than experience
pesrsonality traits are leadership communication skills. intelligence andpersistence
The main thing the employer will notice that how much is your consistancy level in your previous companies.If there are two applicants where one is having2+2+1 experience in differnt companies and the other one is having4 years continuous or straight experience with one company,the second applicant will be selected for sure because of his dedication and the consistency to that one company.This way the recruiters measure if you will be an asset or not for them. All other things will be counted as secondary .
Its base in job requirements & competences, nit based on your current standing up situation
In my opinion, it Depends on the vacancy, but mostly experience.. Though a good mixture would be super
Actually experience polishes ones abilities and skills. Without education, person require years to understand processes and under laying facts while education greatly speeds up this process. So a balance of education with required experience (depend upon parameters of job, if personal errors matters alot during job then experienced is better otherwise educated one).
Experience is an asset of the employees and its important; but Qualification is more important than experience; as experienced person always learn his job quickly.
Both complements each other. Qualification is a basis for professional development in the work field. Bringing fresh business and work ideas, as well as routine in performing of everyday tasks is the result of experience. For achieving of good work performance and results, a good basis must be set primarily.
The two together you can experience but is not eligible to work, and vice versa
Ability to perform as per job requirment. Qualification is secondary but importent.
I will say both complements each other. Actually its the context which makes either of the one important. I agree with the fact that the practical knowledge can not come through the academic knowledge. You can only predict the heat by sitting on your table, but you can't feel the intensity of the same. You have to make decisions every now and then, and better your experience, better your decision. However that does not mean that academic knowledge or qualification are of no worth. Actually your qualification provide you a broader skill set that supports your decision and fine tunes it. You can always give a logic when you have a good qualification.So which is more important is difficult to say. Its depend on the business of the organization, life stage of the organization, its policy, sometimes external factors and many others.
