In today's job market will this service give a job candidate an advantage over other similarly-qualified candidates or is this just a waste of money? career-education/job-search Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:52:27 GMT http://www.linkedin.com/answers/career-education/job-search/CAR_JOB/592640-39804031 http://www.linkedin.com/answers/career-education/job-search/CAR_JOB/592401-55955675 Thank you to everyone who answered my first question. The process is to network. I understand that; that is why I am here. I have another general question. Does the lack of a post-high school degree hinder in the job search process?

I sometimes felt not having a degree hurt me in some areas; particularly in advancement opportunities with a current employer. career-education/job-search Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:09:19 GMT http://www.linkedin.com/answers/career-education/job-search/CAR_JOB/592401-55955675 http://www.linkedin.com/answers/career-education/job-search/CAR_JOB/592334-9523748 Please only answer this question if you were born between 1977 and 1997!
