Are there any recommended exams out there that employers could use or adapt in hiring fresh UP (or similar) cs graduates, that would properly test their knowledge of cs (or whatever it is that they were supposed to have learned during their undergraduate years)? I assume that the statement about companies rejecting UP cs graduates because they do not know VB does not mean that majority of the graduates become unemployed or underemployed or go on for graduate study, only that they tend not become employed by companies specifically looking for VB programmers. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
