Interviewing someone - she had a raft of flash paperwork, proving that she had done a lot of studying to attain them. When the questioning turned towards experience and personality, she was beaten hands down by someone else with a lot of experience, a cheerful disposition and the standard qualifications.

Just make sure that your CV is well written - it is YOUR advert and is what induces the company to offer you the interview to sell yourself.

As my resettlement mentor said 'why do you need an MBA at your time of life [55]? It's experience they want, not bits of paper'.
