- muzani 5y agoOn a skill rating of 1-20, I'd say most resume items are 2-6. It's fine. Unless you're FAANG or a higher tier startup, you're not going to get applicants with over a 15. Most of the time, you hire someone with a 4 and take them to 9. The scale is fairly logarithmic, like a 8 might be 10 times better than a 3. 1 is hello world, 2 is being able to debug something with stack overflow, 3 is your fizzbuzz tier of being able to chain three concepts together, but not able to build anything without help. And then there's the Dunning-Kruger peak. Most evangelists are like this. They're very excited for a technology, but you find that they have no practical skill in it. Very often, they misunderstand the concepts too.
