The problem with giving advice on such matters is that human psychology doesn't work by strict rules of logic and reason, and repeatable experiments are often not possible. Even if you can "prove" (if there is such a thing) certain traits of a candidate are more valuable than others, you can't prevent others from judging you on trivial things - especially in a highly competitive scenario. To cover your bases, I think it is good advice to focus on spelling. You can fight the system, or just accept that all humans are flawed :)
- Traster 6y agoIf your job is HR in Google the correct response is to say "Hey, hiring managers! Here are the things we see you incorrectly identifying as corollaries to competence" not "Hey, prospective employees, here's how to trick our stupid hiring managers".
- passivate 6y agoWhat I have learnt is that you can't convince someone they're wrong, if what they're doing is working for them and they're seeing results. Like I said, you can fight the system if you want, or just move on to more important things.
