lol nobody is more anti-nepotism than me. in my career, the people that i've had problems with are the nepotism poster boys.
This actually my 3rd interview with this Roanoke firm. they offered 5 years ago but i got cold feet about moving up there.
Roanoke is Va Tech's backyard. So this proves you are wrong about the perception of Va tech vs Clemson. We in their league, always have been. Clemson sounds more prestigious too, no "tech" in the name.

I'm not an engineer. BS Biology/Chemistry.
Took a job in research/development. Familiar with gas chromatograpy and mass spectrum.
Begged for a management position.
Got it and spent decades learning...about people.
Subsequent "smart people" who I tried to train to do my job. Aggravating.
I could teach a course on..."listening".

I'm not an engineer, but I've worked with -- and helped hire, on occasion -- plenty of them. Unless you're from a truly elite school like MIT or CalTech, employers care about pretty much two things: 1) are you a good engineer? Do you seem competent, knowledgeable, and willing to learn things that you aren't already an expert on? Eventually, unless you're fresh out of college, your own competence means worlds more than the names on your diplomas; 2) (sadly) did you attend an engineering school they attended or one that they've already hired good employees from?
The best engineer at my previous workplace came from N.C. State. The ones right beneath him came from G.T., Rutgers, Iowa State, and Carnegie-Mellon. Nobody gave anyone any grief over whether their school was top 10 (Carnegie-Mellon) or borderline top 50 or so (Rutgers.) I'm not saying that school rankings are meaningless, or that there isn't a quantifiable difference between the engineering education at MIT and the engineering education at Indiana State, but it seems a bit silly to get into a dick-measuring contest over non-elite school creditentials. For the most part, good engineers are self-made, not spit out of a classroom.

there isn't a difference b/t MIT and other enginereing programs, at the undergrad level. You have to spend some time learning the basics of engineering and that is no differnt at MIT.
And there are graduate programs that are stronger in certain areas than MIT. MIT is more for engineers who want to go into research.

You're still a shitty school in a shitty town with shitty fans.
Hope gets quarantined for the next 50 years after Gatorprincess overdoses on Sonic tater tots and shits herself to death in the center of Gainesville, which is a toilet anyway.
I prefer other schools to UF, is what I'm trying to say here.

Gotdayum we can't have nothing w/o those frickers showing up.
Who moved this from tRant to the OTB?
This orange and purple mouth breather needs to be permabanned.

Spent some time in the personnel department hiring for the most part hourly employees. Not my forte.
I'll admit. It was monotonous.
Interviewing salaried candidates was enlightening.
Bottom line. Don't care where you matriculated, don't care about your education, don't care about your ties to current employees.
Are you worth your salary? Bottom line.

Aren't you a school teacher?

I'm a trauma nurse. I wouldn't have the patience to be a teacher.
Patients, I'm good with.
Patience...not so much.

Last thought.
When I interviewed a candidate that knew everything, I was wary.
When I interviewed a candidate that admitted he/she had a lot to learn....

Yep when I ask them if they know what they are doing and they reply with a yes then they go into the only if I can't find someone better pile.
