Rest of the discussion aside, “we will give you a certificate of being good at interviews” is one of the most absurd grifts I’ve heard in awhile…
- Simon_O_Rourke 4y agoIf I ever had to interview someone with one of these certificates they would get the most technical, least buzzword friendly interview in human history.

- Bluestrike2 4y agoGiven how little most people involved in the interview process--on either side--particularly enjoy said process, it seems odd to highlight how much effort you've put into prepping for it. And it really is like asking for the difficulty to get ratcheted up a level. If I tell you I'm really, really good at interviewing, you're going to take my word for it and adjust your own behavior accordingly. Even if that silly certificate just created an unconscious bias in the mind of your interviewer, with them expecting just a bit more from you, you're a bit worse off.
- remram 4y agoShouldn't that be a big red flag? If you are in the top of interviewees, it's a sign that maybe you interview too much (always interviewing, never hired? Or jumping ship at the first difficulty?) or at the minimum a bias to correct for (this person is good at talking, they will seem much better than they actually are). In any case I really don't understand why you'd want that in your profile.
