[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op unfortunately you'll have to do what I did remove one of 2 of the degrees from your resume and you'll start getting job offers. It worked like magic for me. I only did this to get more experience towards my target professional goal. [b]Yes, I've spoken to hiring managers who are afraid the candidate with more degrees will take over their job [/b]especially if the manager only has a bachelors degree. Reality sucks. Play the game and you win in the end. My salary went up way higher from prior job to another when I did this. I finally got the job that was the best fit for me and all my degrees.[/quote]

I think you're incorrect on this one.  First off people aren't typically promoted based on their degrees.  Often times a degree lands you a job and your performance is how you're promoted.  Or even more common is that your experience lands you a job.  I have a bachelor of science and if I didn't hire someone it would be because they don't have the qualifications for the job or I wouldn't work well with them.  I would never ever equate their degrees or lack thereof to taking over my job.  That's crazy.  If anything you may simply be working in an industry where these degrees aren't valued as much as you'd like to think they are.  You need your resume to be focused on experience and why you can excel at the job vs a degree which doesn't tell the employer as much about you. [/quote]
