Yes this doesn't appear to be so egregious that I would cancel the interview, still worth giving them a shot for the phone screen.
That said, as a bootcamp grad myself, it personally irks me when I see other bootcamp grads try and misrepresent their bootcamp projects as work experience. I know that some bootcamps direct their students to do exactly this, but that doesn't make it okay.
I guess it works though. I feel like I'm always the one pointing out to our recruiting team that certain jobs on a resume are not actually jobs. If someone else is doing the tech screen, they may just make it through.
- spmurrayzzz 4y agoVery interesting that you're also a bootcamp grad. Thanks for sharing all this. I love when candidates are up front about things like this, seeing a cover letter thats akin to "Hey, I'm just getting my started in this industry. I graduated <bootcamp-x>, I would love to get some feedback on the work I did on <project-x>." I have no degrees myself, very much identify with the self-learning journey.
