I have personally hired more than 30 people, and have probably been on additional 30 search committees.

It’s not about where the degree is from; all that is required is a relevant degree.

It’s about the experience, the resume, the portfolio, the work samples, the references. I’ve hired Millersville (PA) over Harvard.

Sorry, I know you want to buy or talk your way into a great job, but you need to earn it.

Nope, wrong premise and attitude.

I tend to hire Va Tech grads. Got a whole team of them. All are hard workers with no attitude of thinking they are better then anyone else. Had a Harvard grad once on the team. Asked him to copy something for a meeting. He refused, was beneath him. Never hired a ivy kid since.

I hire for public policy positions and I care less about where an applicant’s degree is from and more about their work experience. DH hires engineers and UMD is his preference for local graduates. That said, most of his hires have master degrees.

DC doesn't have many elite employers so we don't get a lot of candidates from top schools. For tier-3 employers and below, your university doesn't matter that much.

I have only worked with a few top-25 grads from Cornell, CMU, Caltech, Umich, and UVA. Every single one of them is excellent. VTech grads are also very solid.

Kids from elite schools aim for jobs on the Hill, in government, and in policy organizations all the time.
