| Brand Name Universities The common misperception of graduates is that it matters what you learn. While this is true for those people pursuing their own business or personal development, it is simply not true for career seekers. Employer Think Ivy leagues are the best schools. I want the best person. The best person went to an Ivy League university. Therefore, what I really want is a degree from a certain university. This means that the degree means far more than what you learned or what kind of person you are. We assume, automatically, that you are a stellar learner and a good person because of your Ivy League degree. Hiring managers prefer someone who went to their Alma Matter. If you look at the fortune 500 management, there is a short list of schools that people went to. Check out this list before determining where you want to go to school. Brands For clothing, would you rather shop at Nordstrom’s, Wal-Mart, the Gap, or a thrift store? Most people pick Nordstrom’s first and the thrift store last. You employer thinks the same way. Should I hire this guy from Harvard (Nordstrom’s), Wal-Mart (small state school), the Gap (good state school with a little recognition), or a thrift store (community college). Bottom Line The brand you represent matters more than what you learn or do in school. Just get the right degree from the right institution and be well connected when you graduate. Nobody cares what you learned; remember that. Don’t fault your employer. Do you really prefer the thrift store?
