> But if that candidate only made the blog posts and put stuff on github to help them get work, and not, say, because they were interested in the subject?... Then that becomes a reason to ignore their blog and github.
they only wrote their resume to help get work, not because they're... i dunno, interested in resume writing. should i ignore their resume?
it's all just a source of stuff to talk to them about.
- yesenadam 5y agoIt's hard to believe you're arguing in good faith. The only reason for writing a resume is to help get work, as I'm sure you understand.
- jodrellblank 5y agoIt's hard to believe you're arguing in good faith - you allow that a resume is written only to get work and so consider it, but if they write a blog only to help them get work you dismiss it with the reason "they only did it to help them get work"? How is that consistent?
