The reality is......

which JCs or schools you graduated from may make a difference.

I am telling you this from my personal experience.

I once work in the civil service and the HR let slipped that priority consideration will be given to graduates from top JC.

This is despite the govt saying qualifications are not the only consideration.

So, if you work in the
\" government \" sector,
(Secondary school + Junior College) are still important, whichever rank you are at, or whichever year you are in,

Because in the \"government\" sector, paper qualifications \"talk\" loudly .

But,
if you work in the \" private \" sector, only for the very first maiden job immediately right after your University graduation,
ie. When you are a fresh graduate,
then (Secondary school + JC) are important.

But subsequently,
after you have changed job to (2nd or 3rd or 4th job, etc), Secondary school / JC not important anymore because direct relevant working experience counts more, takes precedence.

But the maiden job is extremely important to set you right on your career path ….,

Even if some may think 🤔 maiden job is important, but if company is recruiting graduates, and it is applicant’s maiden job, during interview, company will focus on which U applicant is from or U results, and not which JC the applicant went to, correct ?

There’s some correlation. Who can go to Ivy League or top tier universities? How’s the screening criteria at the university admission process.

Students with good A level results + good cca/social service credentials. 👏

But top JCs != good A level results + good cca/social service credentials for sure

And not top JCs != not good A level results + not good cca/social service credentials for sure

I disagree. I had a boss (private company) who told us that he'll only hire graduates from certain universities & he'll look at the candidates' secondary schools & JCs. Not sure abt primary schools though
