Few quick tips:
Who are you? What company runs this website? Who are the founders / their background, previous projects, what type of support they bring to this website? what guarantee is given to users, who is already using this app, what does he / she say about it?
Also, how about using anything related to money in your logo?
Thanks for the tips Wajeez. A few of these points are addressed in reply to donbizkit's questions.
For the support: we are definitely supporting this project for the equivalent of a full time project. We guarantee that payments are processed within 7 days (since we are using Stripe for now). We have a select group of friends using our Android app and they love it. We use it almost every day, for reasons listed on the PaySimply website. :)
Should we include testimonials and guarantees about the product?
I've been around long enough to tell you that when an employer is judging you based on your education, this company is so boring, most probably run by academic heads who will bore you to death.
Run, run for your life, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, among many, are also drop outs.
So I am confused here: Are you being asked in an application form to list your education? or Is this during an interview call/email?
If it is the former, I wouldn't think too much about it. People probably use standard forms for these purposes. If it is the latter, just tell him that you did school for some years and decided your time could be better spent outside school.
after the recruiter saw my resume, they asked about my education, I was just a bit surprised. I updated my resume to show that I dropped out, but also that I'm a continuous learner. Hopefully that works.
It is a standard recruiter question. Don't worry too much about it. I am not sure there is a company wide policy to ask these questions or not.
P.S: For future reference, the best thing to do in this case it to mention as part of educational experience maybe the relevant courses you have taken and the amount of time spent at school. (If you need mention it at all).
Truly don't worry, if you are at the recruiter filter stage. If you really think it'll filter you out of the conversation for a position you are otherwise qualified for, attach a code sample (something substantial). Then, ask them to have the hiring manager review it, if the recruiter might think there might be some concerns over the lack of a degree.
Yeah but there are different types of dropouts. Which kind they are could make a slight difference.
For example, Jobs does not belong in the group of dropouts that Gates and Zuckerberg do. In the latter case, both were great students enrolled in one of the best schools in the country and dropped out once they had a reason to drop out (potentially huge idea.)
Sony lost their lawsuits against Bleem!, because Bleem! did not break any laws or infringe their copyrights. The Bleem! lawsuits set precedents that protect hardware emulation to this day.
