  • A degree can be earned slowly with a lot of outside assistance. A lot of jobs can’t be handled like that.

    We use an assessment that provides feedback on 12 metrics and the most important to me are logical problem solving, vocabulary and aggressiveness. I can have several applicants from the same school score wildly differently in those metrics, even if they all have the same degree.

    What else should employers do if they have 100 applicants for a role? Interview every single person? We need to weed people out somehow. If you don’t provide a cover letter, you’re eliminated. If you don’t take the assessment, you’re eliminated. You’re saving us time.

    I’ve noticed a lot of people lately thinking that college is the hard part and if they get the right degree they will coast into a cushy, easy job. Truth is, being an employee is work and at best executives and owners get to coast on cushy jobs, so unless you manage to get a degree that instantly qualifies you for a CEO role, you’re going to have to work your ass off to climb a ladder or build a business for yourself.

    Seriously though, I’m an office administrator and your degree in administration is going to make you the meat in a shit sandwich. Everything that you hate about recruiting…don’t be surprised if you end up being responsible for it. You’ll have to conduct those 100 interviews, then hire and manage staff that have your same burnt out attitude. Your subordinates will bring you endless problems. But that’s only half of it. You’ll be also report up to executives who will push you to be callous and heartless, while somehow magically also increasing production and morale. Did your degree give you all the tools and skills you need to do that? Bro good luck.
