The most cursory thing an employer can do is Google an prospective employee, and that will bring up title credits on games you've worked on. If you were to Google my name, for instance, as I don't have any social media presence other than LinkedIn, you only get game titles I'm in the credits of.
- animal531 7y agoBut it's a silly system. As a corporate worker I have no social media presence, so you won't find anything I've ever worked on. Instead I have a resume and references which can be checked to determine if what I'm saying is true. Now being able to do that automatically is great, which means we should just take the whole process on our own hands as software developers and create something that represents us?
- UnpossibleJim 7y agoOh, I list my greatest hits on my resume, of course. It's a matter of trust. I don't know how much prospective employers trust interviewees, to be honest. I can only assume they do a Google search at the time of the interview (or just before) to do a bit of investigative work and then a background check before beginning the job.
