雙語閱讀:一流企業不再需要大學文憑做敲門磚

幾年前,谷歌公司曾坦言,大學成績單和考試成績並不能用來預測日後的工作表現。(只有剛畢業的大學生例外,但即使是這些人,大學成績和工作表現之間也沒有太多關聯。)IBM公司美國總部新招聘的人約有15%沒有大學學位,首席執行官金尼·羅梅蒂表示,對於許多技術崗位而言,專業培訓課程和在職經歷比四年的大學學歷更有用。

It’s not that college degrees are useless. For many people, university is the place where they acquire skills employers value. But automatically discounting people who earn that same knowledge through a different path can be counterproductive.

這並不意味著大學學位就沒有用。對許多人而言,大學裡可以獲得僱主看重的技能。但自動篩除那些通過另一種途徑獲得相同知識的人,卻會產生反效果。

Which hypothetical resume offers a more convincing case for a candidate’s work ethic or motivation: one from a recent college graduate who majored in computer science, or that of a self-taught coder who acquired those same skills while also managing full-time employment? What a person knows is more important than how they learned it.

哪一種簡歷更能證明應聘者的職業道德或工作積極性?是剛畢業的計算機科學專業大學生,還是自學成才並有全職工作經驗的碼農?一個人真正獲得的知識積累比獲得知識的途徑更重要。
