It's easy to exaggerate the importance of institution. If you have a humanities degree from a top British university but little to no work experience and average academic results, you aren't going to walk into competitive jobs.
- jiggy2011 12y agoCompetition for Oxbridge graduates is very fierce to the point where a graduate can be expecting to have multiple offers to consider from employers willing to wine and dine them before they have graduated.
- shamney 12y agoThere are well funded recruiting events at all good universities. That doesn't mean it is easy for the average non technical graduate to get a "top" job.
- jiggy2011 12y agoThe amount that most firms , especially large consulting firms etc are willing to invest in securing a fresh Cambridge grad is on a different scale to what they will do to hire someone from a middling institution. It's much easier for them to be hired into the sort of positions that will catapult their career to the top in the least amount of time.
