It's only possible to get hired by anyone (including, probably, by you - how do you select candidates, exactly?) by resume-padding with trendy largely-useless items like kubernetes microservices etc.
Be the change you want to see in the market.
- tluyben2 6y agoI have a feeling that many people I interview/test actually see this as an opportunity to learn these technologies, while normally it's definitely not, so I don't select based on that; quite the opposite. They won't have this on their resume often, but want to 'learn on the job'. And yes, what you say happens also; for a recent project where we did need all this tech, sometimes I'm sitting with people with 'years of experience' in containerisation etc and during the interview it turns out they have no clue besides the absolute bare basics. And ofcourse, this causes now that CTO's/CIO's not only see these terms in magazines online, but also see it on all their resumes so they start demanding the use in projects while there is no reason to do so.
- eropple 6y agoI assure you that k8s etc. have not been requirements in any job that I have interviewed for or hired for. Including ones where k8s is in use. Principles still matter more unless you are in an exclusively bolt-turning role.
