| |
| − | <p>
| |
| − | Odds are, if you are thinking about taking a distance learning degree program, you are
| |
| − | doing it to further your career, or get your certification needed to start down a completely
| |
| − | different career path. Either way, you need to make certain that the degree you earn from
| |
| − | distance learning comes from an accredited, reputable school, or some employer’s may
| |
| − | not be willing to accept it, and may look over your resume, no matter how good your
| |
| − | grades were. Yes, you can find a job with a degree earned from a distance learning
| |
| − | program, but there are some things that can make it much easier for you to do so.
| |
| − | </p><p>
| |
| − | It is hard to definitively answer the question about distance learning degrees, as it does
| |
| − | depend a lot of the distance learning school that you earn your degree from. If you earn a
| |
| − | degree from a distance learning school that isn’t properly accredited, then odds are, you
| |
| − | are wasting your time, your money, and your effort. It is extremely important to do your
| |
| − | homework before choosing a distance learning school, especially for those who are
| |
| − | seeking a degree or certification that can be used for career advancement.
| |
| − | </p><p>
| |
| − | Most employers will accept your degree if it comes from an accredited institution, even a
| |
| − | distance learning program. Be careful, however, as some distance learning schools are
| |
| − | accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council, which doesn’t hold to the
| |
| − | high standards as the six main accreditation agencies do. Do your homework, and don’t
| |
| − | just believe that the distance learning school you have chosen is accredited without
| |
| − | finding out for yourself.
| |
| − | </p><p>
| |
| − | Different employers view distance learning differently. Some believe that you still
| |
| − | learned and were tested on the information, so that they have no reason not to hire you or
| |
| − | accept your degree. Others think that all distance learning programs are a sham, and that
| |
| − | you don’t know anything that you claim to, and may even refuse to hire you, until you
| |
| − | obtain a degree from a local university. Again, it really does vary. You have no way to
| |
| − | really know what potential employers think of distance learning degrees until you apply
| |
| − | and go in for an interview.
| |
| − | </p><p>
| |
| − | When you fill out your resume and applications for various employers, list your degree,
| |
| − | and the organization you obtained it from, but nothing further unless you are specifically
| |
| − | asked. Some employers may not even associate the school name with a distance learning
| |
| − | degree, and if they don’t out right ask, you aren’t really required to tell them.
| |
| − | </p><p>
| |
| − | Just be well prepared before you go on job interviews, and do your best to impress,
| |
| − | without dwelling on where your degree came from. You are really trying to impress your
| |
| − | employer with your current knowledge and attitude, not with the name of your school. In
| |
| − | most instances, your end result will depend solely on you, and how you conduct yourself
| |
| − | during the interview. So, keep that in mind when you go job hunting with your distance
| |
| − | learning degree!
