So, the author doesn't even know how to answer their own question. This whole article is a waste.
How much are AMERICAN’S lying?!?
In the tech sector, a job req will receive 1000+ responses... mostly from India... of which, 850-900 of those named on the resumes have little to no experience in the field.
The bulk of the fraudulent resumes are coming from overseas.
Just the facts
/s
I’d rather see journalists subjected to blockchain verification of their reporting...
You have to be female or minority. Truth and qualifications don't matter if a company is under scrutiny for its minority hiring practices.
OUCH!
LOL. You have no clue what you are talking about.
They all are under scrutiny from the Obama years. You indicate white, male, and you are toast. Add in 55+ and you won't even get a response.
Business can blame a lot of it on themselves. A new technology comes out and they put it out as needing 3 - 5 years experience. It isn’t even out for 1 year.
Blockchain is just a buzz word. Most people have no clue how it really works. It’s fairly easy to hack. $534 million of cryptocurrency based on blackchain technology was recently hacked in Japan. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23731633-500-cryptocurrency-hack-makes-off-with-500-million/ That hack did not even involve quantum computing, which is going to shatter blockchain technology. See https://finance.yahoo.com/news/commentary-technology-crack-blockchain-egg-195140449.html (Yes, I could hack most cryptocurrencies, but doing so would be immoral. I also don’t want to go to jail.)
Absolutely!
Having his academic credentials coming straight from the university is good....unless he slipped a bribe to the clerk to have his records be whatever he wanted.
When I was in the contract peogrammer game, I added a sheet to my resume which said “Technical Addendum”. I listed about 10 projects I had completed, using various code, in the various gigs I worked. I added a note to HR to “Pass this by the head of the department I will be working in. He can tell whether or not I am blowing smoke.”
Got a lot of positive responses, including one gig in a chemical plant with their “recipes” because I mentioned I worked on a Bill of Materials program.
Others said it saved them time as they answered questions they had.
No no no .. I know what Sten is talking about.
It’s these employment firms. I receive MY OWN STINKING RESUME when I post for jobs. They get a pile of them and just shotgun blast them out because they are indian pieces of you-know-what who don’t understand anything about what they are doing, they only know that if they shotgun blast these things out it will somehow allow them to live the dream life of using a toilet or taking a bath in fresh water.
I get so sick of it. They buy these blocks of resumes from recruiters and then submit them for everything in the paper.
So Blockcain is cheating by the HR department?
“The bulk of the fraudulent resumes are coming from overseas.
Just the facts“
Oh they definitely don’t have a lock on this.
I will say that there is only one answer that I’ve heard from an Indian on whether they knew x or how to do y, and that was “yes”.
Americans may not lie about facts but the puffery is incredible. Every resume I had seen even 10 years ago implied that the subject was so important that their employer’s facility itself would collapse without them. This really hurts people who really are so important that their employer’s facility itself would collapse without them :)
“I’d rather see journalists subjected to blockchain verification of their reporting...”
So would I, but who could do a subjective review on anything these days. It doesn’t exist. We live under Pravda.
The only way Blockchain solves this issue is if every school adopts what a few are doing and applying Blockchain asset/record tracking to awarded credentials.
Now your degree is public record and verifiable through an ultra-secure search.
The ability to make this standard requires all new degrees awarded through such a system AND integrating it into older credentialing programs.
All while hoping diploma mills don’t join into it and knowing that you’ll get people from a now closed college or slow adopter flagged as lying.
Yes, the whole thing has gone awry. Much to my misfortune.
Most of the time, I’ve spent longer in the industry than the age of the hack looking at my resume.
