4+ years past undergrad would probably be a doctorate… I’m pretty sure that person would get hired over you, experience or not… ---

> [@newman](#): > > 4+ years past undergrad would probably be a doctorate… I’m pretty sure that person would get hired over you, experience or not… They would not be applying for similar jobs. At least not with a BS ChemE versus a PhD ChemE. Probably goes for most other areas. There’s a high degree of specialization at that level. ---

wut about somebody who gets a master’s degree while working? regardless, the basic statistics don’t lie, more education equates to more income as long as you pick a field that’s hiring. ---

that would be a good way to gain control of a system… just go to a job fair and hand out a ton of these with resume.exe on them. ---

Resume paper, leather binder, hah. It all helps, but if you bring the skills needed, you could bring your resume on a piece of bark and still get the job! ---

> [@neonglh](#): > > Resume paper, leather binder, hah. > > It all helps, but if you bring the skills needed, you could bring your resume on a piece of bark and still get the job! Not at most big companies you won’t. First interview is almost always with HR, who decide who gets to interview with the manager of the department you’re applying to. HR people are impressed by confidence, communication skills, dress and a professional looking resume. They generally don’t try to test your knowledge to see if you really can do the things on your resume. That’s for the 2nd interview. ---

I have submitted resumes and not gotten an interview, but I have never gone on an interview and not been offered a position. I have actually been able to use a job offer as leverage to my current employer. ---

werd I know that some people might see some of these interview tips as stupid/ackward or whatever. I have walked into multiple interviews wearing a full suit, to meet with someone wearing jeans. That is ackward, but imagine if I were wearing jeans and he/she were in a nice suit? You have to follow the book with this stuff. My girlfriend just got a new job, went on interviews last week. 175 applications is 3 days. She did everything by the book, practiced the questions, wore the suit, the whole deal. She got the job. It is systematic, play the game and you will get the job. ---

They generally don’t try to test your knowledge to see if you really can do the things on your resume. That’s for the 2nd interview. Yeah, different strokes for different folks I guess. I most likely won’t take a job that requires me to wear a tie. Not that I don’t like dressing up, but I don’t like that work environment. I am kinda like Peter in office space, I go into an interview, get comfortable, and just be myself. But again, like I said, everyone has different types of jobs they want, different requirements, etc… ---

^^ Agreed. I did not finish off my education, I went down a totally different path. Now the two paths are starting to come together, and I am really going to have issues if I do not go back and finish off the last bit left on the degree. I started in Finance and Management, and really didn’t like the finance side so I got into sales… Now sales and sales management are running into each other and Well, the degree is REQUIRED for the promotion or to move elsewhere. ---
