Online Education

Attending a campus institution makes the degree easily identifiable and easy to track in terms of what the candidate has indeed completed and what was left outstanding.

Online degrees are not as easy to trace and can prove to be quite difficult to substantiate too. However, they both tend to have the same amount of work involved with the latter providing far more useful personal qualities that the latter in terms of working off one’s own initiative and time management skills.

Hector Milla Editor of the “Online Degrees In USA” website — http://www.OnlineDegreesUSA.org — pointed out;

“?Whilst that is not to discredit campus graduates, these are qualities that can be pointed out in an interview to try and help a candidate’s claim to a job?”

An employer is well within his or her right to check up on an educational background and may indeed be wary of individuals with online qualifications from universities and colleges that are less well known because of the amount of faking agencies out there. If an individual attended a local online university instead of the University of Phoenix or Capella University then an employer will be sceptical until everything actually checks out. It may even put them off hiring you. This is just because of the healthy suspicion that still lingers over the online degree, and with good reason. However, the larger online universities are well-known enough by now to need no explanation. The one question a potential employer will always ask though is why the candidate chose to take an online degree instead of a campus course. This is a question that you always need to be ready for and have a good answer prepared.

“?No matter how well you try to prepare for an interview, you can never count on which way an employer will go or indeed what view of an online degree he or she will take so you need to have answers prepared for every eventuality. Trying to predict the reaction will often land you in more trouble in terms of answers and justifications than assuming the worst. Always assuming the worst is the best advice that you could take because you are then prepared for anything. If you are confident and put faith in your degree, providing evidence to substantiate the fact that it is real, it should no longer hold you back?” added H. Milla.
