Its systems like that forced me to get an expensive qualification that I don't need simply so humans will actually see my resume. I don't need the qualification, I have industry experience going back over a decade but because I don't have a magical qualification, that is recognized by the entire industry as being utterly useless, that didn't even exist when I started in the industry I had to fork out £600.
But how do they know you don’t need the qualification? I’m sure the people who know you could say, but what makes you qualified to a stranger?
It’s the same problem as standardized testing for school. Everyone seems u to understand it’s a bad idea except that you need something
Well my experience right otherwise I wouldn't have had such a long career in the industry if I didn't know what I was doing.
The problem is that the job of hiring has been turned over to people that don't understand the job, so me an industry veteran and somebody first out of high school are treated exactly the same because we both have the same qualification.
