Re: University of Phoenix
Posted by Management on 5/08/07
I double as an IT Manager for one of the largest banks in the nation and I also own/manage my own business. I am responsible for hiring talent for both my job and my business. I can assure you that the hiring process has changed a bit over the years. When I’m recruiting I’m looking for the best. Schools such as UoP, ECPI, and Strayer U, (to name a few) has served my staffing needs adequately as a lot of these students have hands on experience coming in the door. What I have learned during my tenure is that a lot of the college graduates from tradition schools do not come equip post-graduation. There are scenarios where students have never actually touched or seen the very things on their resumes in the real world. There are other scenarios where the graduates of tradition colleges are graduating with skills in outdated technology as major technology is changing on an average of 1.5 – 2.5 years… When hiring, I am looking for the person that can get the job done… Though I do not discourage applicants from tradition colleges, I have found that I typically recruit and hire students from technology &/or trade schools. In closing, I would like to add that the student determines what his/her degree is worth – not the institution. If you’re aggressive towards learning, growing and being professional & you are as equally aggressive and professional in your post graduation employment search – you should do well. In today’s economy, it is also imperative that you be partial to traveling, and/or relocating to secure post-graduation employment. Interning is also a very important step in building the foundation of your new career.
