Quote:Anywhoo... Grades aren't important as long as you pass. A B doesn't mean less than an A* in real life. When you fill in a job application you only need to put what you passed, they never ask for your shool grades. So why waste your time?
That's quite true. Recruit for attitude, train for skill.
Although the passing or failing, and indeed the grades could be argued to be an indicator of that persons ability to take on knowledge. If I have someone who has proved they can memorize the periodic table I may not employ them because I need to know the atomic number of argon, but because I need them to be able to memorize big chunks of data.
