That still requires people to make self accessment of their skills. There's isn't much incentive to be completely honest on their resume, if they put it on their resume they should be able to 777 all those skills but that rarely happens.
- eru 16y agoThere's some incentive to be honest. If they catch you cheating in one place, you will lose credibility on all aspects. (Also resume fraud is a crime in some places, isn't it?)
- dekayed 16y agoThere are many job postings which say that knowing language X is a big plus. If I had non-expert familiarity with language X, I may not apply to a job where it is the primary requirement, but I would definitely put it down on my resume with the permission assignment corresponding to what I felt my level was. This would let me say, hey I sort of know it and also give the interviewer a chance to figure out if I knew it well enough for their needs.
- derwiki 16y agoIf you claim to be an expert, it's reasonable for the interviewer to pass on you if he doesn't think you are an expert. This is a great way of saying you have some familiarity without the interviewer ever interpreting it as you think you're an expert. It could provide a lot of value in that way -- if someone only claims to have a '4' for Python, I probably won't expect them to know that you shouldn't put [] as a default value for a kwarg.
