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 a positive or negative development

In many corporations, academic

university

degrees are considered to be more paramount than hands-on experience by some employers when they seek new candidates.

However

, I feel that

this

is a negative development and I will explain the reasons here. There are two factors to explain why some job recruiters prefer

university

qualifications to life experience when recruiting new employees.

Firstly

, in many occupations, formal academic degrees seem to be the top priority of many employers when selecting new applicants. In order to become a doctor,

as well as

carry out experiments.

and can be used in other valuable ways.

Nevertheless

, I think that

this

is a negative development and both academic and non-academic job hunters should receive an equal chance in the recruitment process. In some cases, people decide to work right after school in order to support their families and gain practical skills and experience.

Furthermore

, after a long
