In recent years, similar "academic discrimination" has appeared frequently. Those students with ordinary college diplomas, even if they study hard for four years and get excellent grades, still hit a wall everywhere in the recruitment field. Not only can't you knock on the door of big companies, but even small companies are not welcome. I don't know since when, the recruitment circle has formed such a "hidden rule": recruiting people should first look at "gold-plated paper" and "three generations" (undergraduate, master and doctor) when necessary, as if "the nobler the blood, the stronger the ability".
The selection and employment of a company is related to its development potential and potential, so we must be cautious. Perhaps speaking from the probability, the overall quality of famous students will be higher, and it is more likely to grow into outstanding talents in the future, but this is only a general judgment based on "possibility". After all, the ultimate goal of choosing and using people is to improve the efficiency of the company, which needs to fall on the living individuals. There are many smart and diligent students with excellent academic performance in ordinary colleges and universities, as well as people from "985" colleges and universities. They are ignorant and muddle along every day. The essential fallacy of "only academic qualifications" lies in judging a person's merits only by the success or failure of an exam, and evaluating specific and subtle personal abilities with a vague impression, which can't stand scrutiny in logic and fact. If we go deeper, this practice is essentially just a "lazy way" for some employers to save trouble and worry.
Education is not equal to ability, and choosing talents is not equal to choosing education. At that time, when Cai Yuanpei was in charge of Peking University, he hired Liang Shuming, a 24-year-old high school graduate, as a professor of Indian philosophy in Peking University, and Liu Bannong, a 26-year-old middle school dropout, as a professor of Peking University. In front of the "masters of learning" and "gods of learning" of the top universities in China, these "low-educated people" have been fully respected, and Peking University has also gained two top experts. Looking at the present, among those outstanding people who are active in society, there are many graduates from ordinary colleges and universities, but in the end they have become the backbone of promoting social development. Facts show that the most important thing to evaluate talents is to look at comprehensive quality rather than a diploma.
Today, the human society has entered the information age, and the knowledge update has shown an unprecedented speed. Some research institutions point out that if you don't study for a year, all your knowledge will depreciate by 80%. Whether the school is glamorous or slightly weak only represents the learning experience in the past four years or ten years. Living in such an era, the most important thing is a person's learning attitude and learning ability. If a person can keep learning, update his knowledge and have good self-study ability, even if his resume is not so beautiful at the moment, it will not prevent him from becoming an excellent talent. Understand this truth, some recruiters still cling to the "diploma thinking", isn't it just carving a boat for a sword?
In fact, this phenomenon is hard to avoid. As a company, it definitely wants to recruit outstanding talents, but there are many resumes, and HR often cuts resumes like this.
