[quote=Anonymous]I rarely hire....and haven't done so in a long time. I usually never saw the cover letter. I would read the Resume', but found that they are easy to fake --" I know C++" is much easier to write that the nice C++ code. I finally decided that I was lousy at hiring: I look for reasons why someone would fit in, and ignore red flags. I want people to succeed....which is good, but can present an issue when hiring. So, I bailed on being the decider. I do assist in the process, but I make sure the manager knows what I think about my track record. For what it is worth, my former division manager had a theory: all of the people he considers are technically qualified. He is looking for people that fit into his culture. In his organization, it was made up of mostly senior research scientists...he tried to make sure the hires did not require hand holding or close supervision. [/quote]
