I went to the last job fair and this was asked. Rocky said they prefer folks don't get the type, as they usually go to the cheapest place and end up with -200 training and have to be retrained since the systems are apparently different. Hopefully this next job fair is the way to an interview!

He did mention that the type is still valuable and that it wouldn't go unnoticed, but they've learned that the ones without it don't need the retraining that typed applicants do.
