You might think that because I have expensive pieces of paper hanging behind me when I do zoom calls that I am all about credentials. Not so. I got my degree from the school of hard knocks long before I started college at 32.
As Matt pointed out during our conversation - credentials will get you invited to the party but your competence is what lets you stay.
Listen in as Matthew Percia, Helena Bouchez, Stewart Wiggins and I talk about how having credentials did not make us competent (that takes time and practice) and how being extremely competent but without credentials kept us from being paid and promoted in line with the work we were doing.
How do you find the person who is highly skilled but without credentials? How do you weed out the person with tons of book smarts (credentials) but no (as Steward called it) common sense?
