It's like scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I actually don't mind to consider a SL1M candidate but I'd like to ask him what has he achieved after six months of training. If no achievement, there is nothing to talk about.

In fact I've actually interviewed these types before. All I can say is I'm not impressed.

To me, not necessarily.

A candidate without experience is like a blank piece of paper, untested and unknown. To me this is worse than a SL1M graduate. At least a SL1M graduate has undergone at least 6 months of work training. His performance is for all to see and judge.

On the other hand, fresh graduates are totally untested in real work. Many run away at the first and slightest obstacle and challenge. Coupled with high ego, hiring a fresh grad is a risky affair.

You're welcome sir. May I know what are you qualified in? Perhaps I can help.
