I’m applying for sysadmin type jobs and feel a lack of degree is holding me back. Should I simply lie? Can’t see most employers actually checking on a degree I would have earned 30+ years ago.

    HR screening dumps resumes without a school unfortunately. Good hiring managers and recruiters don’t do that.

        Personally, I was hired on the recommendation of friends, and more lately had a manager who looked past it and saw my experience.

        I’ve also heard about some horror stories out of Asia that look at high school grades never mind the degree. Wouldn’t want to work for that kind of company myself.
