Education in general and a commitment to life long learning, continual change and really listening are the key principles to employment regardless of your "educationally instituted" grade "a" egg certificates. It can happen within our outside an institution but is dependent on the individuals motivation. If you do happen to have grade "a" certificate and apply to the above you are more then well on your way. For me that's the difference, education versus certification.
Experience without the above is useless. It's kind of like going to the grocery store, and excuse the repeated analogy, but choosing the oldest carton of eggs because they are certified and have more experience from sitting on the shelf. Or going for the Milk that's gonna expire tomorrow.
Values and ethics and a like minded culture are important in business as well and can weight heavily on education or experience. You want people that gel together and have similar beliefs. Listing them in order and then developing job interview questions to determine if they are a cultural fit will save a lot of time.
