hahaha. stop joking. it is a well known fact that the Grad Recruitment team in HR filters out those SIM/UOL/Kaplan/what-ever-else-private-uni CVs.

even if you list yourself as LSE, which is frankly, an extremely prestigious university in London, they know you are lying by looking at your CV.

conclusion - private uni grads will never be called up for a grad role - even for back office grad programmes.

friends, pls stop saying you are from LSE when you have a degree from SIM/UOL or whatever not.

LSE is a school under UOL, as are Imperial and Kings. Degrees are conferred by the school, unlike our NUS where everyone has a NUS degree.

UOL has a distant learning programme, which is completely different from LSE. So stop saying you went to LSE if you did a local distant learning programme.

If that is what they need to do to get a job, then also bo bian right? It's about how you market yourself mah... If not enough substance, must boost the branding a bit and see who falls for it.

You are right. It's a fine line to tread between beautifying one's resume and being deceptive.

I'm not from SIM nor do i know anyone from SIM. Truth be told, I wasn't even aware it is considered a university in Singapore.

However, i notice many forummers here have a tendency to mock SIM grads, not just on this thread but on several others as well. Why is that so? Do SIM grads really suck and are yet full of themselves?

Even if their private degree is not deemed to be of equal value as degrees from NUS or NTU, are SIM grads not generally considered to hold higher qualifications than diploma holders? I would think there are many "lesser mortals" in terms of academic qualifications. If so, why are SIM grads the target of such mockery and disdain?

Just curious, cuz i know nothing about SIM.

Im from UOL and I havent personally seen anyone's resume. But I do know quite a few friends who went to SIM-UOL but puts LSE on their facebook profiles and also in their conversation with their friends or people that they meet. But I'm just too polite to correct them in their face.

You cant take what people say online as a correct representation of reality. People describe NTU as a 'tiong' school as well. But the PRC population there is no more than in NUS or SMU. You don't know who these people are, they might be SIM grads/students themselves.

Some of the mockery is honestly derived from SIM students themselves who make weird claims like the one above about being from LSE and also that we are somehow 'street-smart' and other university grads are not. These claims do gain a considerable amount of mockery. IMO, dont take what anyone says online seriously. Its best to just take care of yourself and let your performance at work speak for your abilities.
