Consider this -- Is all you need a degree? (2 Viewers)

just get yourself a university medal
hehe u jump striaght to the front of the line

but if u can't communicate with people, pointless, i would be looking at work experience more than anything
there are plenty of people who get a degree in what ever, but don't even have a clue as to how to apply their knowledge
textbook nerds are useless, experience is golden

For me, a lot of it would come down to the interview and whether the person seemed friendly etc. I also think work experience would be really important.

Frankly I would always hire someone who had worked while studying (even if it was just at a coffee shop or something) before I hired someone who has never worked before.

LOL yeah well i dont care i'll just hire n e smart dude or dudette dat can get da job done.. i wont see dem.. i'll be in my office doing things with my secretary
hahahah
das my thinking

cheers^^

I wouldn't care if they didn't have experience in the field, even if they had worked at Wollies or Maccas I would still prefer them over people who haven't worked before because they will have a bit more of an understanding of the real world in my opinion.

this is completely dependant on your career doesnt it... besides getting into a "prestigious" uni would mean better connections in some areas...

also... getting good grades and having work experience arent mutually exclusive terms...

 

[abdooooo!!!]

of course it depends on everything.

like if you're a Havard MBA, no matter how bad you're grades (providing you pass) and social skills are, you're gonna get a relatively good job anyways... as long as you can speak english and not retarded. LOL

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

it'll be quite strange if you can get a Havard MBA if you are retarded and/or cant speak english.

 

[abdooooo!!!]

just remember nothing is impossible.

why is that??

Would you give preferance to someone just becauce they went to a particular university, say just becauce they went to UNSW, UTS, USYD, MAQ, etc. Or would you look at other more personal qualities and skills they have shown in past work experience?

What are you thoughts?

they would choose a UWS student coz UWS is the best

[Minai]

[im just joking]

 

[cyrax83]

[redslert]

i would only choose UWS if i lived next to it....that way i don't have to catch bus + train everyday!

other than that nah...

 

[santaslayer]

i would only choose uws if i was at that uni..ahahahaa

 

[xiao1985]
