Foreign Language Proficiency Exam

[lrgaul]

I will answer your question really simply without telling you all my life story (or Jennifer's life story as you did) by the way I helped alot of people too but I dont need to bring that up to prove my point.. anyway I think you forgot that I mentioned that I speak 3 other languages beside English and never said its not useful to have those type of skills(for some jobs they are useless though) however What I said its '' I would mention my language skills ON MY RESUME '' did u read this? thats what Resume's are for, to answer your last question specifically: I would be way more impressed by someone speaking 3 ,4 languages mentioned on their resume and having a decent general education (English, history, arts and yes even basic psychology and sociology) rather than someone who just took 2 languages exams and filled up his degree with 30 credits or more, is this that hard to understand for you people?? JEESSUS personally me and some of my friends have been in certain interviews for jobs and school and we have been speciafically questioned about our general education background, If you didnt use to do it while you were a recruiter,thats your choice, it doesnt mean no other recruiter does it !! looks like general education reqs are so worthless to some of you guys, for me its one of the most important and probably the most useful (generally speaking) part of a degree regardless of your career choice!! hope you get finally my point ! JEEEESUS help this people to understand the value of education rather than obsessive academic validation!!

1) You seem to be taking every comment someone makes as a personal attack on you. I couldn't care less how many languages you know how to speak - perhaps that is why I "forgot that you mentioned that". My point was that filling a number of your educational credits with foreign languages would generally be a SMART thing to do. Furthermore, if you are so inclined to say that your general education requirements are of the utmost importance when evaluating your degree program, why wouldn't you just get an associate's degree? In essence this little theory of yours would render the majority of bachelor's degrees to be right next door to useless, unnecessary fluff.

2) Do you frequently apply for "administrative assistant" positions? If so, that may very well be why they are asking about your "general education" background as it applies to an academic degree. However, in the professional world, this simply doesn't happen. I would like to clarify that I am not insulting the "administrative assistant" as a valid human being in business. What I am doing is stressing the fact that recruiters are certainly trained to ask lower-level questions to people who are being considered to fill positions that require relatively menial work.

3) I would hardly say that the four brief sentences I dropped about Jennifer's general character on this forum would equate to an entire life story, but I guess that is somewhat relative since some people's life stories would indeed be quite brief. Case in point: You are highly effective when it comes to ostracizing yourself from an entire group. Your keen ability to rant and rave about nothing, while truly believing that your points are valid is almost impressive if it wasn't so pathetic. Unfortunately, there are not enough general education credits in the world to save you from that. Perhaps you should consider putting this on your resume.

For the first time, you have a bit of something you can take personally. Based on what I have seen so far, I can imagine that this will be enough to drive you into a profound "Prozac moment."[/COLOR][/SIZE]
