[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never looked at anybody’s grades when hiring them as I have found that common sense is most important and a whole lot of really “smart” people are extra stupid about basic shit, and most jobs require some training anyway. [/quote]

Thanks for chiming in, Goldman Sachs VP... :roll: Nobody cares who you hire at your backwater company. Every company worth its salt has STANDARDS – and a limited amount of free time to filter thru resumes, make callbacks, conduct interviews, perform background checks. In your fantasy land every kids gets a fair shake and there's an infinite amount of free time.  :roll: That's not the real world. The real world uses software to sort applicants, filters out the lazy, and selects from the cream on the top.[/quote]

Not my experience at all. It’s not about grades, it’s about connections and using them to get a job. You also have to be a good interviewer! And, if you are a crummy employee, you will get fired. [/quote]
