But actual work experience is an even better hint that someone can do a job...
- shapefrog 5y agoIs it really? I doubt I am the only one who has worked with a highly regarded colleague, who when you actually do the work on the ground with, you discover they are incredibly unimpressive. Promotions for incompetence, serial job hoppers who move on before being discovered as being shit ... etc
- lordnacho 5y agoI've been in that situation as well. It's not like signals can't be wrong. Question is who do you want to hire, someone with no experience or someone with some years doing the job?
- shapefrog 5y agoNaturally experience, ultimately hiring managers have never seen a cv without experience, the choice is how you differentiate different experiences. Ultimately it all comes down to 'which candidate do I want to (or can tolerate) spending more time with than my own family'.
