  1. Destruction of Economies by Human Resources Strat on Ask Slashdot: Getting a Tech Job With Skills But No Formal Degree? · · Score: 0

    One of the fastest ways to destroy the USA economy is through the LESS THAN intelligent Human Resources Dept. Let's review the case of the 1.)out of the field degree. Philosophy. Most of philosophy arguments require STRENUOUS critical thinking skillsets. Much of IT Certifications/community college degree is similar to a JOKE. ... oh, yes, I am a FREEBSD expert, the hard way and the ONLY way. 2.)single mom - working three part-time jobs. SHE'S NO GOOD for she might take some time off for her kids. Too bad that she is working on a DOCTORATE part-time meaning she is super-smart. Too bad that she has extreme focus, balancing work AND family. Too bad she has NEVER declared bankruptcy or 'GAMBLED' on the housing market. 3.)tell the TRUTH, HR DIRECTOR! What car do you drive and WHY did you choose your mechanic? Uhhhh, I drive a MERCEDES, but I am using my brother-in-law because my wife told me to? Mmmmm, I go to the ten minute oil change for a Mercedes Expert?? I have trouble picking out QUALITY TECHNICAL people and in Silicon Valley I cannot produce a simple FINANCIAL spreadsheet about why 'stock options' HERE is better than the competitors. After age 54.5, with experience in different industries, I PRIDE MYSELF on finding the TOP 20% in one month. Often this select group HAVE INVERSE CORRELATION (this ten dollar word will throw off the HR low technical staff) with the positions and even 'promotion ladder.' Yes, I have done plenty of NON-profit volunteering BECAUSE this is a way of benchmarking myself against the competition. Starting to get into OPEN SOURCE. South Korea is a poverty country or WAS a poverty country. It is still AT WAR. Most of the CEOs are PhDs. Much of the staff have 'real skillsets' and they place low emphasis on the 'Microsoftie Certifications.'
