Prince Edward gives ultimate job advice as he issues powerful message | Royal | News

The Duke of Edinburgh issued a warning last week when he gave an impassioned speech on education in London. Prince Edward attended the World Education Forum in Westminster and told education ministers he had received some “really disappointing” news.
He claimed employers were more interested in a person’s experience and hobbies than their qualifications and warned against the use of artificial intelligence. Edward said: “The thing is, a formal qualification may or may not get you an interview, but there is one thing I can guarantee you.
“When you go for an interview, they will never ask you about your academic qualifications. What they want to know is what you have done.”
“What are your experiences? What has shaped you as a person?”
Accordingly TimesThe king’s younger brother said that if people did not have the experience of doing “all the other activities” as part of their education and “making” that kind of experience about themselves, then they had nothing to talk about.
Edward got a C in English at A level and a D in History and Politics.
He studied at Cambridge University and graduated from Jesus College with a 2:2 BA in history.
Her daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, 22, is in her final year studying English at St Andrew’s University and her son, the Earl of Wessex, will take his A-levels this summer.
This comes after Buckingham Palace announced that Edward and his wife, Duchess Sophie, will go on a trip to Portugal next week.
The couple will celebrate the 640th anniversary of the Treaty of Windsor and celebrate the bilateral relationship between the two countries.
This will be the first royal visit to Portugal since 2011, when the King and Queen last visited.
