Could Blockchain Bring the End of Resume Exaggeration?

Saw a post recently. Company wants 10 years of NodeJS experience. NodeJS was created 2009.

If you use Common Core Math it is doable.

I have already run a big job in Nashville etc when I was still employee. The codes are very similar. What I found difficult was there is no standard for electricians.

I had a guy on my crew that had over 30 years experience and all he could do was run conduit, build tray, pull wire and cables. He said he wasn’t qualified to terminate etc. I thought he was joking around. He liked Hillary too, so I wasn’t too sad when I told him his services weren’t needed anymore.

I do vfds, rtus, PLCs, all kinds of motors, instrument devices, basically anything and I just thought that was normal. It was a shock to see not many guys cover much area. I’m sure they’re there, I just didn’t see it.

I was doing rig calls in WV and Ohio as well and northern PA, and found the same thing. Those guys couldn’t believe the things I could do. I said where I’m from that’s just apprentice work.

There’s no standard from state to state, so that would make it difficult for some people to move around for work.

"Old white guy who has not been killed by electricity or moving machine parts, with all his fingers still attached, with 35 years of experience making stuff run in a large manufacturing facility seeks job.Usually gets along well with others if left alone.

That pretty much was my last resume to get a new job.

[blackdog]

The modern electrician is controls insufficient these days. No plc expertise, no factory talk, very little motion control as is applied these days. Also very dangerous new hires.

Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem.

They can also blame themselves for hiring H1-Bs, who in the tech sector are submitting fraudulent resumes 99%+ of the time.

[Bulwyf]

Up here it’s a lot of automation, so a guy has to know.

I can do residential and commercial, but I don’t find it engaging enough.

I have dabbled in programmimg, and was offered a spot doing that in a great company, but I figured I should continue this a bit longer.

[nickcarraway]

Do you have a citation for that?

[nickcarraway]

Has anyone gone to jail for that?

"What I found difficult was there is no standard for electricians."

The IBEW (union) administered standards in the States in the past, but it's been dissolved to some extents and tends to be active in larger cities. As far as I know, the IBEW didn't administer apprenticeships in Canada for whatever reason, although it did give supplemental training to some according to info on the Net. No organization replaced it in the States to keep or administer national standards for training and methods.

For licensing, some states have apprenticeship requirements that only admit totaled hours served under contractors (hours signed off by contractors or supervisors) and a little bit of testing (Colorado, for one). At least some counties, rife with fly by night contractors, don't bother with regulating in regards to licenses. I don't know about all of the states.

IMO, the standard for electrical workers in the U.S. should be comprehensive, extensive, well monitored, nationally standardized testing based on the NEC. Some people learn faster and care more than others. Those who want to have their years of "seniority" as the main consideration tend to win out in attempts to set standards for electricians, though, and the large corporations wouldn't allow an office for national testing.

In big cities, they tend to hire IBEW electricians due to licensing requirements. The big corporates will retain discretion wherever they can to choose who they will call "engineers" (including glorified script kiddies in software, interior decorators, all) based on their political correctness and affiliations.

In the States, many of the IBEW electricians are relegated to climbing poles in thunderstorms for years before being moved into indoor industrial jobs. I suppose many have been put off by thoughts of being fried or skinning poles while paying attention to barking supervisors. There are also those who do the potential transition dance while hanging from helicopters next to the higher voltage lines. Snap! Yeehaw.

There were two who went to high school with me before becoming linemen. One fried and died slowly on a line while having monstrous amounts of current running through him. The other has COPD from smoking (emergency jobs, no sleep).

It seems somehow safer to restrict oneself to jobs where the current is turned off and locked out until job completion (trust issues, weather conditions, falling tree limbs,...). A friend had me try pole hooks once, long ago. Whoah. I stuck with tree hooks and working for less at the time (safer topping timber). ;-)

Universities could post their degree recipients online today. Blockchain is unnecessary. It’s being hyped

[dfwgator]

I thought about Blockchain for elections, and certifying there’s no cheating.

Of course, Democrats will never allow it.

[Democrat_media]

Could monero be hacked since it’s anonymous?

[rurgan]

Wait till 2020.

If Trump gets elected then go to the USA.

Trump is the only one keep the USA free and not turning into Venezuela
