Rant: "expert" skill level asked for

Techytach · 2016-08-04 17:44:28

Came from an interview where "expert skill level" was thrown around way too much. This was for a level 1 helpdesk. No you don't need an MSCE and CCIE for a 15$ an hour job resetting passwords. Do they really think they are going to get experts? Or am I supposed to exaggerate and claim to be one?

I've read similar analysis of how people respond not only to CEOs and top level execs but mid-level management as well. Crazy.

Yeah, I think that's the premise of his book: people do stupid things because of how the brain works. But then we also invented ways for avoiding some of those problems, like science, logic, rationality, empiricism, and formal methods.
