Marketing & Business Development Consultant | Jamaican Heritage Tourism Consultant | Cultural Creative Consultant | Project Coordinator/Evaluator
As a job seeker, I was once told, by a noted HR consultant that my degree would determine my career prospects. While it was disheartening at first, I refused to be defined by my field of study alone. By persistently applying and believing in my diverse experiences, I've defied expectations and received multiple job offers outside my academic realm. To my fellow job seekers facing similar constraints, remember: don't let anyone confine you to a box. Your skills and determination will lead you to the right opportunity. To hiring managers in Jamaica, it's time to hire based on experiences and skills, not just degrees. Let's redefine traditional hiring norms and embrace the value of diverse expertise. Your next top talent might not fit the conventional mould. #SkillsOverDegrees #JobMarketReform #BeyondTheDegree #JobHuntingJourney
