Billionaire gives unexpected response to hiring kids from 'fancy schools'

[@coniccinoc]

I mentored engineering fresh hires from several schools. 100% of the recent grads from Ivy league were so focused on their next position that they refused to learn how to do their current job. The end effect is that they were useless.

[@windyhawthorn7387]

Which basically means they think they know everything and aren't able to learn. I remember when I was 11 my mamaw asked me if I knew how to grill. I told her I knew the basics because I help my dad and does what he tells me to but I have never cooked anything on a grill. She picked me the youngest person to grill the steak for the fajitas and everyone else was a bit mad because they wanted that job. She later told me I got the job because I didn't know anything yet and I would learn to do it her way instead of insisting I all ready know how to cook. I had a fun day and just from that one day cooking with her I knew how to cook on the grill. So I just combined that with the skills my dad had already taught me about seasoning and making wood coals and I can grill

[@cryora]

@@windyhawthorn7387 Well sometimes you're more of an asset if you are willing to do things the boss's way than your own. You're more likely to produce results within the desired parameters, even if it takes time to learn. Compare that with someone who only offers prepackaged solutions and is inflexible.

The rich kids can flirt with revolutionary politics but revert back to their trust fund and inheritance when they grow up. The poor kids just suffer and by the time they figure it out, it’s too late. Stick to business and technical fields at top tier, state funded schools. Avoid the private schools that have become so ideologically tainted you can’t even discuss things anymore without being cancelled.

I so agree with Mr. Fisher. When I was a hiring manager I didn’t even look at the school or even the GPA. I looked at the classes they took, and experience. After that I was interested more in the personality and work ethic. I could teach the skills they needed to do the job, but you can’t train a good work ethic and the ability to work with the team. I always had my team interview the person, and then I took them to lunch or dinner. I wanted to see how the prospect did in a more relaxed environment. Also, I liked to see a well rounded list of classes too, what I called a Renaissance degree with not just the major, but a wide variety of classes outside of the major including both technical and liberal arts. To me it showed a well round inquisitive person.

Someone mentioned taking the candidate out for a méal. That's usually the clue that you are among the finally few and success in landing the job may be near ! This is to test your social skills. Will you be good with client meetings, do you have correct étiquette, are you shy or outgoing, that sort of thing. I'm sure many other companies all have their own process for their hiring procedures. The initial face to face interview sometimes doesn't match the candidate you have on the CV at all, but the CV is the starting point. Dont be shy, to ask questions, too.

I know a couple people high up the hiring chain of large companies. Resumes from fancy schools means they already feel they are owed something and preferred pronouns means they are going to be disruptive and difficult to work with. Both go right into the circular file on the floor.

[@farmalmta]

This is mostly correct, except that grads of the Ivies tend to flock together and hire those who display expected thought and behavior patterns the other Ivy grads are comfortable with. So one Ivy grad tends to beget more of them until a gaggle of them have gathered in a workplace and things go to utter crap because of them.

This gentleman has valid points; however, lets not limit this paradigm to fancy institutions because these young kids graduating from sub-par institutions are just as bad! I understand what I am getting when hiring these students and the fact they have overcome a rigorous curriculum versus the sub-par graduates places them ahead. He is correct, post-graduate, it is a different game! Attending the fancy schools is not about earning the degree anyway - those who are successful understand exactly what I am eluding to....

The average grade is an A- in these Ivy League schools…it is more of that “participant trophy” mindset. These latest graduates are not even prepared for a regular job, much less a challenging one. STEM degrees are hopefully more rigorous but who really knows.

I'm not a fanboy for the Ivies by any means and don't care for a lot of the politics but accusing them of not being hard workers isn't fair. The kids that get into those colleges legitimately (without familial connections) have worked very hard to get there.

A friend of mine tells me that kids who go to community colleges are smarter than kids who go to Ivy schools. My brother-in-law also don't understand why anyone would want to send their kids to Ivy schools. I totally agree with them, mine went to Stanford and Duke, class valedictorian and salutatorian with high SAT scores.😄 Bottom line, these Ivy grads will be hired by companies that have connections with these schools.
