    Forgot to say, we hired that junior. Her student work was a level above most of the 'real' work we saw from other candidates. I won't really get to work with her until the two teams merge and relocate to the new space in December, though.

    • Oh heck yeah!Hayoth
    • I hIred a junior based on student work once. Her real world skill didn’t even come close to her portfolio. It was weird.Gnash
    • In retrospect, I don’t think I accounted for the amount of guidance she received at school.Gnash
    • I hired a Brazil woman because she interviewed great, then she started to come to work everyday in nightclub clothes. Things went South from there...robotron3k
    • Her professional work is solid too, but I've now seen enough shitty student work to consider good student work a good sign.i_monk
    • She was my first hire, I learned to ask better questions the next time.Gnash
