However, there are many jobs where you will find people of with various backgrounds, some with PhD degrees, master degrees and no degrees all working with each other. Education in such situations may be a good avenue to secure an interview but once you are in the door, your education will not be that important. As an example, the financial services industry has people from diverse backgrounds.

People in senior positions do not necessary always have degrees and indeed many have worked their way up through the company over the years. Also, firms looking for people who want to take risks and be entrepreneurial, may prefer those who have taken risks in the past rather than who have followed more conventional approaches.

Naturally you should never discount or underestimate the strength of education. However, you must be aware that interviewers are mainly going to be interested in what you can do for the firm, what work experiences you have performed so far and how you would change their company in the future.

Numerous job interviewers pose the question: Do you think that good education is an indication of quality performance? Some think it as a trick question. It really is not. Quality grades are not always an indication of top performance in the work place. Top grades are certainly indicative of self starting and motivation. However, there are numerous skills needed in the workplace such as communication skill, ability to get on with peers and formulate high level strategies. The more junior the role, the more interview questions you will be asked about your education at the job interview.
