This question is aimed at getting to know the full extent of your educational experience, beyond the credentials, certifications, or degrees you list as having earned on your resume and CV.

At its core, HireVue is a platform that helps client companies screen, evaluate, classify, and categorize candidates to avoid making "poor hiring decisions" and to find "top performers" and "qualified talent" through their pre-set criteria. Most positions at Sedgwick list their educational requirements in their job listings. Many simply require a High School Diploma or GED, while others suggest a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university is preferred. However, many of their job postings suggest they are open to hiring those who have "equivalent experience." So, whether you have the minimum educational requirements or equivalent experience, be confident in your abilities and make a case for knowing what it takes to do this job and to do it well.

"Well, I had a great deal of fun learning in college, but more so beyond. Anytime I read a textbook, I would go out and buy the book referenced in the footnotes. Footnotes are dangerous for me. My house feels like it is wall to wall with books. So, as a result of what I learned in college, I learned more outside of the work I was assigned. I am really at home in the rabbit hole of learning. So finding a position with a company with continual learning opportunities, such as with Sedgwick University, really appeals to me."
