You're back, and we couldn't be more delighted! Welcome to another week of Berlitz WordMaster@Work!

In the good old days, if you had skill and could do something well, you just went ahead and did it and could succeed by building a reputation for quality work. These days, a person's work is seldom allowed to speak for itself. Instead, you need to finish accredited programs, get degrees, pass exams, etc.

This week, we look at some of the hoops that would-be professionals (and others) are jumping through these days. Enjoy!
