I occasionally get asked about it, but it usually doesn’t matter. However I suspect it does matter in certain classes of jobs, namely federal government jobs. They way those are written just evoke an idea of box ticking based hiring to me.

It also matters if you have a hire in mind. You might due to laws need to have a competitive job solicitation but you know they were an intern for you and therefore you really want to bring them on full time. So magically the job description has exact years of eduction, certain skills, etc that your intern all meets to the T.

Totally fair, for me they've all been private sector where the interviewers have less idea than me what's even on the job listing.
