Hmm, I’m going to put that I DIDN’T work at a FAANG company on my resume and see if it helps me at all.

If you want better results replace UC with University of Tennessee and replace all the large, well-known companies with two that nobody has ever heard of. Zero callback guarantee.

Do employers actually care about GPA and SAT scores? Obviously some of the things are there just to troll, but is that something they actually care about?

I actually did an interview at the age of about 30 where HR wanted to know my ACT score, and what wage I made at my teenager-job when I was 16. I don't know that they cared (I got the job anyway), but it was bizarre to be pressed on that.

Ahem, we all know that "UC" is the University of Cincinnati, not this upstart band of ragtag institutes out west. That helps with the callbacks too.

Interesting. I never took the SAT/ACT and have yet to obtain a degree so I'd never even but a second of thought into it. Looks like someone cared at one point though!
