Frankly, level of education is hardly a factor in our process. Your son,
for example, would get a phone screen (for a junior position) if he were
able to show experience with the technologies we use. The college program
should provide some of that experience as well as exposing him to concepts
like programming teams, requirements analysis and problem-solving - skills
perhaps more important than knowing the nuances of a given language.


It sounds like a reasonable process. I will point out that I don't feel a
candidate with no work experience and no education would ever get to the
phone screen, while someone with no work experience and a college program
may.
