How do people get jobs they are not qualified for?

[Ilovebountybars]

I have been looking on people’s LinkedIn profiles recently and I have noticed a few profiles where people have jobs they are completely not qualified for. This is in both the UK and other countries and it’s in mostly business and IT related sectors. For example they are getting jobs which would usually require a masters degree (in my country anyway) with only high school education.How are they getting those kinds of jobs?

Especially balls.....

Just another thought re people embellishing their experience on LinkedIn. I know people who call themselves “Lawyers” because they have a law degree but they’re neither a qualified solicitor, barrister or legal exec.

Also I think some people are happy to label themselves as something which requires qualifications without realising it.
