> If everyone who _did_ hire fresh college grads gave preference only to those coming from exclusive schools, only those from exclusive schools end up with the experience, interview skills and references you look for. In this way, exclusivity perpetuates itself.
That does seem to apply for experience and references. If interview skills benefit from practice, I think it works the other way there.
- akdas 7y agoThat's a good point, and I'm sure that's true for many people. Interestingly, for me personally, my interview skills increased as a result of interviewing others, as I understood what interviewers were looking for. The big problem is that interviewers typically don't provide feedback to those who fail the interview. So even that part can have some component of perpetuated exclusivity.
