Well, i think you can get a job with either. But it all depends on the kind of job we're referring to here. Of course if you are talking about a good paying and challenging job here, both will be considered, but majority is gonna be more of your degree..the experience is likely to come as an added criterion.. 11 Likes |

Degree first follow by experience, and if you has both you have more advantage of getting a job than somebody with just Degree without experience. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Whether you are a degree or masters holder, great firms look out for your ability/competence to deliver before any other criteria. Experience, of course! 5 Likes |

Experience, not degree, comes first for employers Employers looked for the following attributes, in decreasing importance, when hiring graduates: Relevant work experience Good work ethic/attitude Degree subject studied Ability to be a team player Mature attitude Class of degree Easygoing, cheerful attitude Reputation of university attended Ambitious and career-minded Natural leadership What turned the employers off: Poor spelling, grammar in application Obvious exaggerations Poorly presented application No relevant work experience Non-targeted CV/covering letter No covering letter with CV Handwritten application/CV No interests or extracurricular activities Incorrect contact details for employer Statements in CV not supported by examples 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Depends on the kind of job. For instance there are so many skilled jobs that requires experience compared to the so called white colar jobs, so for this reason the probability of a skilled man getting a job is higher than that of a degree holder. #QED 2 Likes 1 Share |

Depend on the sector of of the economy actually. In telecomunications(engineering),degree won't fetch you the dough you deserves........experience does. Atleast I know a lot of OND graduate with much experience earning far better than BSC holders. 3 Likes |

What's the point of having degrees without experience and experience without degree. The two go hand in hand cos degree would teach you what u need to know and experience would help u practice what uv been taught. 3 Likes |

it depends actually.......having certain professional certifications and experience without a degree gets you jobs faster nowadays. Most importantly, having to demonstrate adequate knowledge of the position during interview most times makes the certificate less important for whatever consideration. |
