[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who hires, I pretty much discard any resumes of young adults who haven't worked. They may have done well in school but I need more than book smarts. I want to know they can work as a team member, that they had a good work ethic and can manage work responsibilities and I want work references. Working is a different skill set than studying and I don't want to be breaking people in to their first job. i want them to come with the foundational skills needed to be a competent, capable employee already in place and high marks alone don't tell me that. [/quote] But you wouldn't know whether that money went for tuition or pizza or an eventual downpayment on a house, right? My parents paid for college; I worked for spending money. I think everyone should take a job that is basically scutwork and learn to do it well without complaint, because people who think necessary parts of their job are beneath them are a huge PITA.
