最近zuì jìn,求职qiú zhí网站wǎng zhànGlassdoor罗列luó liè了le15家jiā招聘zhāo pìn时shí不bù要求yāo qiú有yǒu大学dà xué文凭wén píng的de公司gōng sī,其中qí zhōng就jiù包括bāo kuò苹果píng guǒ、谷歌Gǔ gē和hé星巴克Xīng bā kè等děng企业qǐ yè。

放弃fàng qì使用shǐ yòng大学dà xué文凭wén píng违背wéi bèi了le传统chuán tǒng的de招聘zhāo pìn方式fāng shì,安永会计师事务所Ān Yǒng Kuài jì Shì wù suǒ的de玛吉·史迪威尔Mǎ jí Shǐ dí wēi ěr告诉gào su《赫芬顿邮报Hè fēn dùn Yóu bào》说shuō:“公司gōng sī在zài招聘zhāo pìn时shí仍réng会huì考虑kǎo lǜ学历xué lì,在zài对duì应聘者yìng pìn zhě进行jìn xíng评估píng gū时shí,学历xué lì仍réng是shì重要zhòng yào的de因素yīn sù,但dàn不bù再zài是shì一yī道dào门槛mén kǎn。

”这zhè意味着yì wèi zhe公司gōng sī将jiāng招聘zhāo pìn经验jīng yàn和hé能力néng lì最zuì适合shì hé某mǒu个gè职位zhí wèi的de人rén。

但是dàn shì,这zhè不bù代表dài biǎo大学dà xué学位xué wèi就jiù没有méi yǒu用yòng。

对duì许多xǔ duō人rén来lái说shuō,大学dà xué里lǐ可以kě yǐ获得huò dé雇主gù zhǔ看重kàn zhòng的de技能jì néng。

哪něi一yī种zhǒng简历jiǎn lì更gèng能néng证明zhèng míng应聘者yìng pìn zhě的de职业zhí yè道德dào dé或huò工作gōng zuò积极性jī jí xìng?
