The main decision on whether or not to hire is based on your previous performance.


What matters:
1) Your network.
2) Your work experience
3) Your degree

In that order. The reason I put network first, is because that usually gets you the interview. Your work experience usually gets you the job, but if you don't have that, and no other applicants can compete with their work experience, then your degree can bail you out.

Nine times out of ten, an employer will hire an Ole Miss grad with a few years of relevant work experience over a Harvard grad with none.

I agree with you on your network being extremely important. In business it is very much about who you know.

Eh... in my industry this isn't true. I see your point and I support it, but where I work it'd be more like UNC w/ a few yrs as opposed to Harvard. The gulf b/w U.S.-Oxford and U.S.-Cambridge is simply too large.
