A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Much easier to reject bad CVs. On the other hand every job post is the same and you have to check Glassdoor and Crunchbase before applying to a potential bad company

"Networking" increasingly just means nepotism.

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Nepotism is when you hire someone unqualified because you know them.

Networking is when you hire someone who is qualified because you know them.

It always did.

Who would you rather hire, a qualified person you've met at least once outside of the hiring process and like, or a qualified person who is a complete unknown outside of their likely embellished resume?
