Why would it matter what your previous job title was? Why would I care if your previous job title was ‘Grand Vizier of Khyrgistan’? Can you do the job I want you to do now?
- kmoser 1y agoIf your previous job title was "Doer of a Thing" then a prospective employer is more likely to consider you for a job doing the same (or similar) thing, as it shows you have prior experience doing a thing.
- Aeolun 1y agoNo, it shows that you previously had a job title that calls you a doer of things. I find that these don’t generally correlate with ability to actually do those things.
- queenkjuul 1y agoYou hire a lot of programmers that have never held a programming position before?
- hombre_fatal 1y agoIt’s because LinkedIn creates a social cost for lying, and it also creates social proof because coworkers can agree that you worked there. As opposed to claiming whatever the hell you want in resume.pdf.
