Energy and attitude are must-have badges of honor

Simply put, we want candidates who have the skills, experience and aptitude to do the work. Smart employers are getting rid of the traditional “must haves” of hiring, like must have a college degree. The self-discipline and self-motivational skills they learned in scouting will mean more to them than any college degree or credential. Now is the time to play up your talents, your positive attitude, your energy and your desire to earn new skills. These days, more and more employers are hiring for attitude and skills much more than degrees and experience.
