I am one class short of completing my bachelor's degree. I am applying for a position that requires a Bachelor's degree. My intentions are to hopefully get the opportunity to start my career with this organization and fulfill that class by taking an "internship" course. The course involves creating daily logs of your internship etc. I know friends who have taken this course and say it doesn't require them to attend classes but rather write a report at the end of the quarter. Will the organization let me, it's a county position, still proceed with the intake process?? Or do they STRICTLY want a B.A.?? I mean, I won't be going to class if I take this internship class, so it's not going to affect me in anyway. thank you for your help.

All I would say, its up to you. The only way you are going to get this job is prove to them that you can handle the job well and at the same time, you can going to complete the requirements for getting the degree. You need to explain to them how this job will achieve that and what contribution you will be bring to the company. Master the art of interviewing and this job will be yours.

Government jobs can be very hard to get! However a person just getting their degree and free of all the garbage that can come with a seasoned employee might be just what they are looking for. You will never know until you try!
I know that I have gone for county jobs and it was usually thru a federal or state employment agency...if I didn't meet a basic requirement or qualification most times, they would not even accept my application...but really, what DO you have to loose by trying? Go for it!!! :-)

I would apply for the job, if you are that close to recieving your degree, you should be prepared to show your transcripts. You could also get a letter from the dean of your program with your expected graduation date.

I would suggest you ask the hiring manager at the organisation. If they are reasonable they will consider you. If they are not, consider do you really want to work for an organisation who is this inflexible.....

Finish the degree, you are 99% there.
