I guess it could be a factor with someone who made bad experiences with bachelor graduates or someone who is a little bit old school. | |

| Jan 28, 2016 at 18:31 | comment | added | AndreiROM | When I said I was interested in going back to school and upgrading my education is almost seen as a negative. Will it impact your job performance? Will you require a custom schedule? etc. I had to give endless reassuring that it wouldn't, and I wouldn't (night school). Some places want dependable employees and see you having higher ambitions as a sign that you won't stick around. Others, on the contrary, want people who wish to expand their knowledge. Whatever you say though, be confident and to the point. Don't sound like you're unsure/undecided. | |
