[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U can still take the core CS classes ..just not graduate as a CS major. Employers care about which classes you took and do you know your stuff[/quote]
Do college grads put down what classes they took in college on their resumes? That's new. I don't think I did that.  I just put my degree, GPA and experience.[/quote]

Yes they do. I interview engineers and CS grads. Many put down course names like algorithms etc. its helpful. [/quote]

I don't care what your major is.  I'm looking at your experience.  Most new grads don't have a lot of work experience outside of internships so they detail about the projects they've worked on.  The project could have been either as an intern at a company or as school assignment.  When I interview you and I talk to you specifically about what YOU did on the project, I can figure out if you have the knowledge and experience that I'm looking for.[/quote]

I don't care about how you pick your employees.[/quote]

Different poster. You don’t seem like the sharpest tool in the shed. [/quote]

DP here.  Many employers expect transcripts as a condition of employment.  I am shocked that more people do not realize this. [/quote] That's typically late in the process where the goal is to make sure you aren't rejected for a poor transcript. An excellent transcript won't help you over a fine one.[/quote]
