Normally when I’m interviewing people I don’t go much further than asking about the topics they covered in their resume. If they lied in the resume, it’s an instant no-go. And if their resume is on your desk already, that means that their skill set covers most of the requirements for this position already. Simple enough.
- dekhn 3y agoWell, hold on. I see a resume that says "Worked on a complex ML problem, training a model that did blah-and-blah". Sounds great, right? Then when you poke further you find out the person just took an online class that involved git cloning a repo and running scikit-learn on some toy examples without even understanding any of it. Resume inflation is a big thing.
- allarm 3y agoI think you misunderstood, I didn’t mean that the resume alone is enough to pass the interview.
- blitzar 3y agoThis might be too cynical ... but those that engage in resume inflation and all the other games get the interviews and get the jobs and become the interviewer. Thus git cloning a repo and running scikit-learn on some toy examples without even understanding any of it == Worked on a complex ML problem. As for the CV that says took an online class that involved git cloning a repo and running scikit-learn on some toy examples is a CV you should discard as they probably just went for a cup of coffee and looked at the clouds for an hour.
