It’s No Surprise That “Skills-Based” Hiring Has Not Worked (www.forbes.com)

This article outlines an opinion that organizations either tried skills based hiring and reverted to degree required hiring because it was warranted, or they didn't adapt their process in spite of executive vision.

Since this article is non industry specific, what are your observations or opinions of the technology sector? What about the general business sector?

Should first world employees of businesses be required to obtain degrees if they reasonably expect a business related job?

Do college experiences and academic rigor reveal higher achieving employees?

Is undergraduate education a minimum standard for a more enlightened society? Or a way to hold separation between classes of people and status?

Is a masters degree the new way to differentiate yourself where the undergrad degree was before?

Edit: multiple typos, I guess that's proof that I should have done more college 😄

By considering all aspects of a system, and identifying bottlenecks?

Did you already forget the prior thread?

Where you didn’t actually have any specific complaints other than your poor implementation of JavaScript and PHP? Yes I recall. I assume you don’t actually currently do this for a living?

Maybe go back and reread the thread, buddy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I did. You just complain about JavaScript like someone who can’t use JavaScript and complain about PHP like someone who can’t use PHP. Your reasoning isn’t based on any real world examples, and your opinions of technologies that are widely praised seem to be based on a grudge. You weren’t kidding about yelling at clouds.

PHP and JavaScript are widely derided. What planet are you on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I’m on the planet that gets paid. You spend too much time in /programminghumor and not enough time developing.

But nothing is good to you, since everything is a “clusterfuck” right?

PECAK.

Look, I get it. You have no idea what the computer is actually doing when it runs your little scripts.

That must be it.
