One of the people in HR tells me that included in resumes/CVs for
a mechanical design engineer position we had open in March, they

With my degree from a state university

"a state university" - is it a recognizable part of the state
educational system, or something like the "University of Southern
North Dakota at Hoople"? I don't think I've ever heard of anyone
having a problem with state operated schools. Private schools tend
to be more of a problem because there are so many of them. Or do
you mean 'state' as in nations - such as the University of Debrecen
(a Hungarian state university, about the size of UI Chicago)? Those
tend to be more difficult due to language differences, but are rarely
show-stoppers, unless it exposes visa problems.

I list the URL to their web site on my resume. I wonder if I should
change that to a URL to its entry in the regional accreditation
database.

I don't know that the URL would be needed. In my company (and I'm
relatively sure elsewhere too), we are going to be looking very
closely at references and that includes the education items. Those
times I've seen those "prestigious non-accredited schools" listed, it's
been quite obvious to even a cursory glance. Additionally, there are
usually several other blatant faults with the resumes/CVs, but one
obvious fault is usually enough to hit the 'do not call' list.

Well, I suppose there ARE prestigious non-accredited schools out there
somewhere, tho' I have to admit I haven't found one yet. But let's first
define our terms: what do you mean by accredited? Do you mean something
like the North Central Association or the Southern Association? That
would slam the door on Oxford and Cambridge. Or do you mean "blessed" by
a country's Ministry of Education? Or ??? (Keep in mind, too, that many
of the non-accredited universities in the US have formed their own
accrediting body.)

Now, understand, I think I know what you mean - it's what I'd mean when
speaking of accreditation - but without at least an operational definition
(point at a thing and declare it to be a member of a class of similar
things [ that's a chair ]), there's a lot of room for disagreement.

I was going to say one of the blatant give-aways in resumes/CV's is
language use. Now I think of it, though, there are far too many graduates
of prestigious universities who can neither spell nor write intelligibly.
That being the case, what DO you have in mind?
