I had some kid from Cambridge hype himself up for getting a 1st class degree. I did not hire him, because he displayed no abilities beyond bragging about going to Cambridge or his 1st class degree. Hired someone from a non-Russel group instead. Nobody with a real job cares.

>>12238926
More like you convinced yourself they had no skills because you were biased against them. I had a friend that always mentioned how much I mentioned my university whenever I speak, despite only mentioning it twice.

Chances are that you were the dumb one in that situation.

I recently read a resume from a woman with a doctorate from La Sorbonne who has worked as a secretary her entire life.

>>12239076
How old is she? I guess that wouldn't be on the resume, but when did she get the degree?

Cope :)
I wouldn't hire you either, loser.

>>12239108
what about me?

>>12238850
>lower tier schools
Me, judging you being elitist after coming off an indoctrination factory farm

>>12238850
Top tier schools only accepts poor kids and racial minorities, it’s not necessarily based on top-tier merit. So saying “I got accepted to a top tier school and graduated” is no longer impressive on its own.

Only your experience matters

>>12239108
I wouldn't work for you, dumbass. Luckily 7 fortune 500 companies are interested so I wouldn't need you.

>>12239127
Are you fucking retarded? I'm upper middle class and I was in the bottom 10% of income.

>>12239120
This is the only comment in this thread that I will acknowledge as true. Alot of kids from top tier schools end up as corrupt capitalists and end up parroting their school name and forcing the name into prestige. It's a cycle.

>>12238850
Whats considered "Top tier"

>>12239076
If you get a doctorate outside of STEM then you never stood a chance

>>12239167
Top 20 is top tier for a program (i would say top 10 but the top 10 is usually a self propagating meme - after you become a brand name you dont even have to be good anymore). Top 50 is good. Anything below is normal.

>>12239128
>I wouldn't work for you, dumbass.
I know, because I would not hire you, obviously. I already stated this in my previous comment. Deducting points from you for repeating what I said, uncritically.

>Avoiding hiring a narcissist
Well done. They should really all be give the rope at discovery.

>>12239196
You wouldn't hire me because I wouldn't apply. Your statement is predicated on an assumed application that will never exist. Clearly your logical thinking skills have deteriorated over the years you degenerate cumbrain.

>>12239202
It depends, anon could be a narcissist too for avoiding hiring someone.

Either Cambridge guy was a real narcissistic dick, or anon was a self entitled "expert" who thrives on not hiring people who are better than them. Due to the nature of 4 chan we will never know.

Good thing I transferred and no one will ever know unless they look at my transcript.

>>12239189
I am good tier then
t. Boston University.

>>12239224
Just because I value top tier education doesn't mean I dont value those below. This post was mainly bait fyi.

>>12238850
Yeah but they might have tried really hard and maybe they're really good

>>12238850
intelligence is genetic

>>12239239
This was a bait thread. People from lower tier universities are good if they are motivated to be so. Anyome can be good

>>12239203

>>12238850
I don't understand how people can think like this that aren't undegrads with 0 experience with other people from other institutions.

For undergrad I think it carries a lot more weight, but still I'd wager it doesn't mean as much as OP likes to believe. If you're going to stay in academia it means even less. I no longer associate attending a good school to being intelligent. Not to mention rampant issues in top tier schools like grade inflation... at least in the states.

>>12239242
Its not just inflation. There's also deflation. In general its just academic fraud.

>>12238850
>I'm low-key
More like clamp-key.

Probably very old, since she didn't put any dates on her resume, which is an attempt to avoid being rejected due to age.

>I'm low-key annoyed
And I'm high key annoyed when I hear someone talking like a black nigger. What the fuck is "low-key" even supposed to mean you dumb shitskin?

>>12239650
I always interpreted it musically. Like the low keys on the piano or something, but this doesn't make sense because those frequencies produce anxiety in humans. Perhaps it refers to dynamic range? All of it clusters in a low key, so there is no great contrast, fewer waves,

>>12239650
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T USE COLLOQUIAL LANGUAGE
Literally no one cares in real life.

>>12239650
Stupid fucking idiot. Even funnier since youre using even stupider slang like "shitskin". Anyway guess you're too much of a dumb nigger to know what a dictionary is.
