From the article
the gatekeepers at our nation’s most prestigious firms are pathetically shallow, outrageously parochial, and insufferably snobbish.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI'm reminded of the quote "Hiring managers don't always get the people they want, they they always get the people they deserve."
- Jtsummers 14y agoThat reminds me of my university search. Looking for an engineering program, visited a campus (top 5 engineering school) and they asked where else I was considering. I mentioned GA Tech (had lived in GA for part of high school, a number of friends intended to go there), and Notre Dame (sister's intended school, had visited and liked it). The response, completely straight, "Well, I guess those are good schools." It's incredibly easy to get people to dismiss an entire institution from consideration when their representatives are so crass.
