You may give a positive sign, there are other reviewers who will give it a negative sign. I'd argue the average weight is negative overall, because of the traditional HR screening most resume have have to go through.
- mindcrime 9y agoYou may give a positive sign, there are other reviewers who will give it a negative sign. Interesting. What would be the rational behind assigning a negative weight to that? I have a hard time seeing that point of view. I'd think that, at worst, the presence of MOOC(s) on a resume would be neutral.

You wouldn't believe the amount of people who try to put a MOOC as one, HR is trained to detect and reject them right away.
