Some of you keep mentioning "talent". Swindling young people and ruining young financial lives is not talent! You should be selling used cars!!!

It cracks me up that people doing a lazy mediocre job like to legitimize themselves by generalizing an entire population of graduates as lazy and mediocre.

Most studios and grad schools do this and have been for better of a decade. Most of you are in denial that this has been going on.

I think the original poster is talking about grads, not former employees. To the original poster I say, your loss, and also let your clients know about this policy so they can chose not to hire you. If you're not looking at portfolios and doing the legwork of interviewing candidates you're doing a sloppy job that could cost your client a great employee.

Maybe it's your poor writing skills that keep you from getting a job.

Complete lies. I've been with the organization for 9 years and have seen plenty of good and horrible people leave over the years. Not one person has had trouble finding a new job and the majority of time either better pay and benefits or better family work life balance associated with the positions.

The last poster is correct, having the proper resume that can translate ones skill sets to a different industry is key. If a person can't understand that this step is necessary to finding new employment then they are just idiots and it's no ones fault but their own.

Also on well written resume EDU is one of the last things listed.

Furthermore, no one that is a recruiter refers to themselves as a headhunter. This is a dirty word in that industry.

This is a lie. EDMC like any job can be good on a resume. The real problem for people when they leave for profit Ed is thier interview and thier resume. First pay a professional resume writer to write your resume so that your skills are articulated well and recruiters can See how they are transferable. Second, practice your interview and how you communicate your transferable skills. The people who post on here about how it's EDMC'd fault they can't get a job, just s--- plain and simple. They s---ed before EDMC, they s---ed during and blamed everything on EDMC, and they s---ed afterward. If you are a legit talent take this advice and go get the career you want and laugh at all those bitter losers that just plain s---.
