Well whether you think I am right or wrong, there are many employers out there who think along these lines. It is no different to a boss who graduated from UTS saying he will hire only UTS graduates and not UNSW or USYD graduates. Calli it discrimination if you want although in reality it is...

I stand by my original comments. When hiring and you have to cull candidates, I would cull at both the top and bottom academically (i.e. those with brilliant WAMs and those with just passing WAMs).

The majority form a sterotype for all including those in the minority.

I have already answered it multiple times, in several different ways in this thread.

Jealousy of what? ATAR? I was very happy with the high school leaving marks I received.

Why? Did I use that in a post somewhere?

Perhaps you are one of the exceptions to the rule, but from what I have seen a lot of people do focus only on their academic goals and nothing else. Those are the people who often struggle to find a job after doing their bachelors, hence do a masters degree, then struggle even further as they...

I wouldn't hire either of them. If it is a sales role or similar, then okay, fair enough, person 1 gets the job. If it is a role where he is reporting to me, then no. I wouldn't give either job to person 2.

I have no qualms with that statement. Just be careful that you don't focus all your energy into achieving only one goal (e.g. an ATAR) and not putting energy into other goals (e.g. a part time job, a sporting team, social life etc).

Re: First Presidential Debate Who can afford to run a 2 min 15s ad lol?

I think my experience in evaluating these matters exceeds yours and I'll leave it at that. You will learn in good time.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter whether Aaron6693 got an ATAR of 92, 94, 96 or 97 or something else as he got into the university course that he wanted to get into which is all that matters. As soon as you do that, your ATAR is not relevant anymore and if you ask anyone in uni what ATAR...

Some people can be, although in my experience the majority can't.

Re: First Presidential Debate Unlike you I am not biased. I call it as I see it.

It is especially important in industries such as mining, construction and any engineering fields where you regularly interact with trades. No offense intended, but if you are Asian, have an 80 WAM and list your hobbies as playing WoW/Starcraft/whatever the games are these days, from what I've...

Soloooooo is everyone's friend. :)

Re: First Presidential Debate I now think, largely due to Sandy, that Obama will likely win by a small margin. Romney would be the better president elect I feel but I don't think he is pulling ahead enough in the polls to beat the incumbent president.

Re: First Presidential Debate Obama reveals he is a lizard.

You sound butt hurt.

Student B This is a stupid question though. If Student B is a douche to all the teachers, then they probably won't get it etc.
