Does school really matter?

[jhnkvn]

In our company, I still filter out applications based on school records. Kahit ano gawin mo, a prestigious school name will shine out over a school you've never even heard of.

However, I place heavy emphasis on extra curricular activities. Yun hindi fabricated since it's quite easy to know if they do. I'll do a shout-out as a DLSU alumni is that I feel that too many people are flowering their resumes excessively. Not only DLSU graduates but also similarly highly-favored university graduates. Like hell I care about your XX position. I want to know results. I want to know your hardships and how you handle projects.

If you are lucky enough to survive the screening process, then it's all up to the interview selection. Since you're past the qualifications, the interview process is mainly a screening tool on whether we think you'll fit right in or not on our office environment and sometimes I do ask ridiculous questions. Isipin mo dati.. I sat down.. konting small talk.. then requested; "okay, you have 10 minutes, entertain me." Most job seekers are appalled pag ganyan kabigla and you'll see them fidget, etc. and it shows how pressure changes people.

Education expensive? Try ignorance.

not for me... nasa tao yun. on how one packages oneself (communication skills, appearance, confidence). kung di ka OA or trying hard mag-english saka superficial or canned ang mga sagot mo sa interview, saka hindi shabby ka manamit (proper combination/color ng suot mo), bad posture and that aura na di ka maangas/presko o sobrang takot sa interview... makakalusot ka.

Not to be judgmental to other schools, pero pansin ko na on average, yung mga galing sa top university din naman talaga yung may communication skills, marunong magdala ng sarili, may depth ang sagot sa interview, at hindi trying hard. Even within a school, may mga courses na on average mas magaling ang students compared sa ibang courses.

Again, on average ha. Hindi ko nilalahat. Kaya ang advice ko eh kung pwede namang pagandahin yung chances by going into a good school, bakit hindi? Kung masipag at magaling ka talaga, makakapasok at makakapasok ka.

Education is indeed expensive but there's a lot of people who just can't afford to send their kids to the top universities the top companies prefer.

I came from a cheap ass university in Southern Mindanao and I can read your post just fine... My golly I must be that freaking good eh! No, I'm not going to thank my educator.

having graduated from a reputable school, you have shown the world that you have the brains and perseverance to succeed.
the easiest way to gauge a person's intelligence, is to look for his diploma.
if he has none, either he's too poor to study, or he doesn't have the discipline and/or brains to study. and you will allow this undisciplined and/or under-intelligent person to wreak havoc on your workplace? perish the thought!

of course, there are exceptions! but these are... exceptions. maybe one in a thousand..
you think you're that one in the thousand?

go back to school, my good person.

Agree ako dito. 99% sigurado na you are not the exception to the rule. Parang sweepstakes. And you don't want to waste your life hoping that you will hit the jackpot. Make your own "luck" by setting yourself up for success -- that includes getting a degree with good grades and accomplishments in school. A degree will make it easier on you to go thru life compared to most who don't graduate.

i take this a no-brainer exercise. school matters. we are in a time where merit and fitness does'nt work anymore in the selection process. (for those who decide to become employees). top schools work just like how mafia operates. they simply hire people of their own. UP grads choose UP grads, DLSU grads choose DLSU grads and so on.....

Am definitely not one of those.... If you show me that you have the potential and the right attitude,- then you're in. If not,- then it is nice meeting you....

I think we should thank our educators, whoever they may be. If a teacher taught you to read and write then you should be grateful. If your parents did, then they're your educators. However bad or inferior we think our teachers were, it cannot be denied that they did some good in our lives. Save for the very rare cases that a child was abused. (ibang story na yun) IMO if a person ever went through school, he should be grateful to his teachers, lalo na if public school. They are always overworked and underpaid.

Yes it does. Try mo mag apply kahit with latin honors ka pa pag ang naka linya u.p., ateneo de manila, at dlsu. San ka pupulutin. Kung kaya nyo pag aralin mga anak nyo sa magandang school much better. By the way investment yan wag manghinayang.

Mas mas pa, kung may "latin honors" ka sa alinman sa 3 eskwelahan na iyan....

Different with me, told our hr to give equal chances whatever school they came from. Except kung glaring talaga na puro pasang awa yun transcript.

My point if you only based it what schools they came from kawawa naman yun mga hinde naka afford na maka enroll doon sa top schools.

And I don't care kung galing na DLSU, ateneo, UP or UST. Youre still an applicant. Walang difference sa mga galing sa hinde kilala ng schools.

And I noticed na applicant that came from top 3 schools. Parang utang na loob mo pa na nag apply sila sa company niyo.

But to go back to the original question. Yes! School where you came from matters

Hindi ako galing sa mayaman na pamilya pero nakapagaral ako sa maayos na highschool at college, without paying a single cent for tuition.

Scholarships are available to those who are willing to strive for it.

Sa panahon ngayon na ang daming unemployed at maraming ka-kompetensya, every little bit helps to get you that big break. Parang mods sa kotse yan, lighter wheels, better intake, CF parts, etc.

Depende yan sa plano mo sa buhay...kung ang plano mo ay umakyat sa corporate ladder at sumahod balang araw ng malaki dapat magandang kolehiyo. Kung plano mo namang mag negosyo, aralin mo yung sa tingin mo kakailanganin mo sa plano mong negosyo.

Ang tanong, may plano ka ba? Short medium long term plan

[crazy_boy]

sa tingin ko, important na galing ka ng top schools pag wala ka pang work experience. as soon as may work experience na, hindi na important yung school.

ako, galing ako sa pinaka mahal na school nung college. then natanggal ako sa school na yun kasi hindi ako mahilig mag aral.. natransfer ako sa hindi kilalang school. ok naman ako now... i think

Kaso exemptions tayo kesa norm. Sadly, marami talaga companies na prefer nila top schools. That is the reality. School does matter especially if wala kang titulo/pasado sa isang board exam. Kasi kung engr or CPA, kahit ano pa school, puwede mo sabihin na pareho naman kasyo pasado, kahit papano may weight yun imho. Yan observation ko.

Ako po ay galing sa isang state university na mahilig magreklamo at magsunog nang silya ( nagrebelde po kasi ako sa aking AMA na hindi nya ako kailangan pag aralin pa at ako na magtustos sa aking pag aaral - Php 300 lang po kasi ang tuition fee ko noon ) Ano po ang dahilan nila para magreklamo ay para walang pasok dahil pagkasama sila sa rally (LFS) exempted po sila sa klase.

Dahil po school bukol ang tema nang aming klase ay halos wala po akong natutunan dahil laging late pumasok ang mga professor at kadalasan iiwanan ka lang nang assignment. Hindi po kagandahan ang aking mga grades noong nag-aaral ako dahil po hindi din naman ako pressure nang aking INA na mataas ang grades ang kanya po ay makapasa OK NA ang katwiran yun lang po ang kaya nang utak ko.

Noong naghahanap po ako nang trabaho, halos araw araw ako ay umaalis upang mag-apply. Hindi na po ako namimili nang trabaho kahit po maging agent nang FOREX noon ay pinasok ko. Kadahilan ayaw po akong tanggapin kasi daw po sa pinanggalingan ko school at sa kakarampot ko na nalalaman. Lalong lalo na po hindi nadevelop ang aking conversation skills. Baluktot ang aking english mahihiya po ang tiga bundok.

Pinasok ko po ang isang trabaho na ayaw na ayaw nang aking AMA dahil isa po syang Vice President nang isang kompanya dahil daw po nakakahiya. Ayaw ko naman pong patulong sa kanila na makahanap ako nang trabaho kaya po nagsikap ako makahanap kahit isang STOREKEEPER po in short BODEGERO. Doon po ako nagsimula isang kargador. Isang araw napag isipan ko kausapin ang aking INA na akoy nahihirapan na pero ang aking hiling ay pag aralin akong muli at hindi para sa kompanya nang aking pamilya.

Nagmaster po ako sa ginto at doon ko po natutunan ang tamang pagsusumikap. Hindi po totoo ang HARD WORK ang tama po pala ay WORK SMART. Hanggang ngayon po ay patuloy kong dinadagdagan ang aking kaalamanan at koneksyon... Pumasok po ulit ako sa school at kumuha nang kurso na makakakapagbigay sa akin nang kaalamanan at koneksyon doon ko po nakuha yun sa Agila.

Dahil po sa aking pagsusumikap nakamit ko na po ang aking gusto na magtsikot nang walang sisita sa akin.
