>>having worked at a top company matters
does that mean that it makes more sense to know how top companies hire, rather than small ones, since small companies just shadow decision made by bigger ones and check for typos and grammatical mistakes?
- LaurensBER 13y agoTo be honest, most of the top programmers or engineers that I know have terrible, terrible grammar and spelling. A number of them do not speak English as a first language but others just don't seem to care that much. Would I base my hiring decision for a new programmer or engineer on the amount of spelling mistakes in a resume? I would give it thought but I would be more interested in actual real life working experience.

- CaptainDecisive 13y agoAnd further to this: which top companies? In TrialPay's case he lists his dozen elite companies. But what happens if you're hiring in a market where none of those companies have an office? For example the city I work in has a lot of large financial firms, but do those count as a "top company" on someone's CV? If you're hiring for one of those firms then probably yes, but if you're hiring for say a web startup then it wouldn't help. So the vast majority of companies hiring will have to build their own "top companies" list, based on local conditions. Which in most markets means doing your own research and getting to know local conditions, aka networking.
