One very effective strategy I've seen for communicating that you have the
skills even if you don't have a degree is to bring a sample of your work to
the interview. In fact, you should do this even if you do have a degree.
I and most people I've ever worked with give much more weight to the
quality of work that you've produced than any other kind of credential.
