qualifications and certificates To begin with, nowadays thanks to the economic crisis, quite a few graduates have taken the first decent offer they receive even if they are overqualified for the position. From my point of view, graduates don,t get a job according to their education and training. They take a job below your education level to keep up with the payments. The changes in the labor market are making that it's harder today for graduates find good jobs. To answer the second question, these days the reality is that many qualifications are not a guarantee of a successful career. There are successful entrepreneurs that even they didn´t go to the college. Some examples are Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg. For these men, the most important things are personality, passion, and goals. Qualification and certificates don´t count if they are not accompanied by experience and a winning character. In my opinion, we can have a successful career if we have a right aim behind of our actions. In fields such as technology, certificates are essential because people who work in this field need to specialize and updated knowledge. From the beginning economic crisis it has increased the number of people who have jobs with a minor required training. In the past, having a degree secured to get easier a job but economic crisis raised unemployment and loads of workers have look for other options to take on in a business. Besides, companies don't want to hire overqualified workers and the reasons can be that they require a high salary or better labor conditions. So, overqualification means a maladjustment between the worker skills and that the skills job and this entails often that the employee is rejected. Therefore if we are highly qualified, we must adapt our professional profile to the job we apply and underline our differential value for the position is for us. In short, if we want to find a job without trim our cv about our training and experience, perhaps is a good idea being focused on those more relevant in our cv and is in line with the applied job. Something really crucial is our attitude. We must show security and that we want this position.
