> what does that say about your attention to detail at work
It says absolutely nothing. You've inferred something from it, and then run with it to create your own narrative.
- culturestate 5y agoMaybe I'm misunderstanding your point (or maybe this is your point), but doesn't this take effectively invalidate the entire human interviewing process? The whole thing is just a series of actions (portfolio review, phone screen, whatever) that give the reviwer(s) a set of mostly subjective data points from which they infer a candidate's fit for a particular role.
- tomnipotent 5y agoI've had plenty of recruiters that could ignore silly resume mistakes and find gem candidates. I've also hired candidates with horrible resumes, and it's never been a problem. Evaluate a candidate based on their experience and qualifications, everything else is just to satisfy our own egos.
- culturestate 5y ago> Evaluate a candidate based on their experience and qualifications Well, as I said I typically hire in design and product, so "proven ability to produce high-quality written content" is often an important qualification.

- EvilEy3 5y agoIt says a lot. Just because it is a bias, doesn't make it wrong. I've meet enough people in my career that would prove the rule about attention to details.
