I feel this 100%. You know from the resume whether the person can do the job. It's whether you want to sit next to them for 8 hours a day while they do it. 30

You know from the resume whether the person can do the job. It's whether you want to sit next to them for 8 hours a day while they do it.
30 seconds? Yep.
- RandallBrown 12y agoI have interviewed some people with impressive resumes that still sucked at programming.
- theseoafs 12y ago> You know from the resume whether the person can do the job. Do you? I remember reading a bunch of articles that asserted most people that come in for programming interviews (even if their resumes look solid) are useless.
- jen729w 12y agoI'm a Wintel systems & infra person rather than a programmer, so maybe it's different. But yeah, generally, I can tell from the way the thing is written, from the depth of previous experience, from the types of companies the person has worked at, from the career progression. It also helps that I live in Melbourne, Australia - the IT world here isn't massive, and if you haven't worked with the person the odds are you know someone who has. :-)
- Schwolop 12y agoWell the Melbourne part is definitely true. I was the first hire in a 100 person company that didn't know anyone else here.
- RobertKerans 12y agoI absolutely agree with this ,and where I live in the UK has an enormous effect upon hiring.
