Thread: How did I ever make it?
-
10-18-2012, 06:47 AM #14Well my boss took his word I'm sure, he is terrible at hiring guys, he is one of them that think you can pull someone off a bar stool and they will make you money. I'm glad for your students you give them quality training.FWIW, if one of my students can't recognize a blown fuse, they certainly aren't going to graduate. My question to you is, was his transcript verified and was his instructor listed or contacted as a reference? There are certain rules that prevent us as instructors from giving negative references for students. However, if an instructor chooses not to comment, that should be a red flag. Also, if the instructor/s are not listed as references, that should also raise some red flags. I've had students that dropped out of the program, only to apply at a contractor and tell them they took the program, and because of our reputation, received a job. Not soon after I get a call wondering what kind of program I am running, turning out a graduate like "Billy Bob". When asked about a transcript or instructor reference in cases like this, the normal reply is "They said they took your program". Hopefully you/your boss didn't just take his word for it.
