- mikestew 10y agoIt is crazy, and thankfully not all that common. But I've observed it often enough to never trust a resume. Granted, far more often with SDETs[0] than "regular" devs, but I've seen a few of the latter that would struggle with or outright fail FizzBuzz. The craziest part, though, is that most worked someplace else previously. Did they outright lie about previous roles? I wouldn't believe they lied, but I'm certain they blatantly exaggerated. [0] Why more common with SDETs? My theory is that SDET is easier to fake, and if your SDET "development" consists of var foo=FindUIElement("bar");foo.click(), then FizzBuzz could give you trouble.
- thenipper 10y agoSo I work right now supporting a recruiting team with technology project management/data analysis and I can definitely agree with never trusting a resume. I've learned most of the time people don't actually know they're exaggerating, they tend to be unaware of how limited their skill set is.
