一个某大企业的HR 的 MANAGER 给我的一段解释~;


From what I've seen, where you went to school doesn't matter all that much. Your degree (in general) and your work experience especially, matter one hundred times more, as they relate to your relevance for the job.

I've interviewed several people for my company - from UBC/WESTERN ONTARIO MBAs to ex-Canadian Marines, former GE/Six-Sigma-trained people, to bright, recent-college grads from smaller universities.

Your degree/qualifications may get you in the door for a second interview, but from there, what matters most is your work experience, your personal skills (do you say "you know" all the time/do you talk like an adult, are you well dressed, can you write a proper cover letter [that doesn't sound like the usual bs]), and the overall presence you create.

If you're smart, hard-working, and a polite/respectful person, it's easy to figure out through an hour-long interview if you are someone who would be good to work with. That's what counts when it comes to making the final decision on whether our company will hire someone.

We'll take a smart, hard-working person with the right experience over a dull (and/or arrogant) hot shot from some well-heeled school in a second.

Similarly, that's the case at more 'modern' companies such as Yahoo, Google, or Microsoft - I know Ivy League MBAs who have been turned away from those companies, in favour of intelligent people who have relevant experience, or have shown promising ability.

One more thing - don't think that all the bs student council, glowing references from professors, campus humantiarian work, etc. counts for a lot. We're hiring someone to do a job, not Mother Theresa.

Just show that you can do the work, get it done on time, and be pleasant to work with. That's what matters most. :wink:

When they ask why they should hire me, my anwser is eactly
"Just show that you can do the work, get it done on time, and be pleasant to work with".  And that works just well as I expected
