Nowadays, some employers think that formal academic qualifications are more important than life experience or personal qualities when they look for new employees. Why is it the case? Is it positive or negative development?

In todays society, formal academic qualification is normally considered higher than any other factors

such

as

life

experience or personal characteristic in recruiting progress.

This

essay will look at some causes of

this

and I personally believe that

this

trend is totally negative. There are several reasons interpreting for favouring the

university

degree of employers.

First

, it is true that academic qualifications are the only tool which represent exactly one’s background education.

Moreover

, qualifications show the result of training and learning process of employees in a period of time,

thus

, the employer can base on

this

obvious evidence to make a decision.

Second

, people graduating from college,

university

are believed to be more clever, hard-working and persevering and they can make greater contributions to the companies than those without any formal qualifications.

Finally

, some recruiters think that candidates with a

university

degree are more eager to learn new things which can help them

further

their career. In my opinion, it is a negative

development development

and

life

experience and personal traits should be taken into consideration if recruiters seek employment.

On the other hand

,

life

experiences can help dealing with realistic (practical) problems of business, whereas theoretical knowledge from school or

university

cannot cover and teach to the candidates. In fact, there were many well-known people lacking of family conditions to follow

university

,

however

, they still achieved success by their endeavour to practice and learn continuously from society.

Besides

that, personal characteristics are one of the crucial factors that interviewer should take into account. Together with a degree, candidate’s morality affect to the development of business. Negative personalities

such

as dishonesty in the workplace,

for example

, could pose a serious threat to the development of any companies. In conclusion, there are various reasons why some employers prefer people with academic qualifications rather than those who only have

life

experience or good personalities and I think that it is a negative development.
