[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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 an ivy kid since.[/quote] Interesting, this hasn’t been my experience with ivy grads at all. Over the past 10 years, I’ve hired and worked with graduates of Yale, Penn, Cornell, Princeton. They were all excellent - great attitude, super hard workers and delivered and often overdelivered. I’ve certainly never had instances where one of them refused to do a task that was beneath them, including copying. In fact, this one time we had a very important meeting with senior people and my EA was unfortunately sick and couldn’t take minutes. The Yale grad offered to do it without me even asking. Could this just be a Harvard thing?[/quote]
