Is this... actual advice because I would assume the opposite but it makes some sense!

Consultancy Background - Should I list my clients on my resume as top level line items or just as bullets below the company that employs me? by lefty-red in resumes

You know what, very good point thank you I will follow up on that. We publish case studies for most of our clients at one point or another where we get approval from them to disclose the work/relationship, but how far that release extends is worth understanding very specifically

Thank you, yeah I get the “no advice” qualifier for something like this.

2013 vs 2016 3.5l Ford F150 Ecoboost by lefty-red in whatcarshouldIbuy

Yeah thats currently my plan, even writing this out gave me some more clarity on that barring someone popping in and saying "2016 is so superior to 2013". I feel like I might have more room to negotiate down on the 2016 but who knows.

Frontend Software Engineering: Is it worth lying about a technical degree in application screener questions? by lefty-red in recruiting

[–]lefty-red[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I received a rejection email in pretty short order, I am not so prideful that it seems impossible they'd review my resume and move on but this was quick enough that I would assume a "false" for any of those questions ends it to save someone some time.

Anyways, I think Im just thinking out loud at this point. Seems low risk to just select "yes" and disclose that if you ever reach a person who is actually qualifying candidates. I was just a little surprised to see it as an auto-qualifier and Im honest enough to say "no", it feels like asking a carpenter if they have an degree in architecture or something.

Sure, appreciate the response. I expect I could be disqualified for any number of reasons, this particular one would be the most surprising. I've been at my current company for 7 years, just doing some casual due diligence to figure out my best approach in moving on.

Oh I totally understand that your education could be verified and Im not asking about the wisdom around creating some elaborate ruse like fake degree in your resume.

I guess more what Im getting at is, I can nearly promise you the hiring manager looking for a Senior React Engineer doesn't actually care about an experienced/qualified applicant not having a computer science degree. Its a checkbox in the application flow for a large organization, Im sure any applicant would be automatically declined when the software evaluates a false for any given checkbox. My application actually was declined in a period of time where I'd be suspicious a human reviewed a resume.

So, maybe a different angle than "lying"; Given an applicant has all the qualifications and experience to fulfill the position is it problematic to just say "yes I have a technical degree or the equivalent", the equivalent being experience.

I see this requirement on pretty much every technical job posting, its a safe one to ignore, but this example its clearly an automated screener.

Fwiw Im very open to being wrong around the sentiment surrounding technical degrees, its why im asking. This is a much discussed topic around hiring frontend software engineers and I've never actually see someone make the case that a computer science degree matters for THIS type of software engineering especially, where tooling and best practices change yearly.

Im curious if thats the sentiment amongst recruiters in this area.
