Why do employers only look at certificates and not actual skills?

I experienced this many times during my time as an employee. Now, however, I'm a self-employed entrepreneur, and as an investor on the stock market, I only look at the return, not at my excellent high school diploma and certificates.

If I’m an employer who can choose between someone with “yearly professional experience” and “very good English knowledge” where I can’t check anything, and someone who can deliver me an EFZ, a BM and the English B2 certificate to the same claims, I would choose the second.

Sure, the first one might have been working longer, but I don’t know more about it. But I know what it takes to get an EFZ and then attach the BM. He is on a high level of knowledge and is theoretically and practically familiar with the profession, otherwise he would not have passed the final examination of the EFZ. In addition, the B2 reproduces the exact state of knowledge. I see if he’s really as good as he claims.

Certificates are reliable and universal. I’d rather take a guy from a public school than an apprentice than one who was in some private school. I don’t know what he can do. Often such schools are actually under the level of public schools.

Employers want someone they can trust from Day 1. Someone you don’t have to look at first, is he really suitable, is he really good enough English, does he even manage the stress here?

People with “power positions” simply stumble on stamps and signatures. The more you have, the more attractive you are as a worker. That’s what I’ve been spending two times unnecessarily, just to have two more stamps I don’t even need. But look horny if you have a fat appendix in the application. And hey, “very good English knowledge” may even be better, but “B2” sounds so great and official and it has a pretty golden seal on top right, wow. This makes me almost more impression than someone with “very good kentnissen” who would actually be at C1 or even C2 levels.

You can’t do that. The entire stamp collection has been mutated in recent years by ner Nextquest to the main quest. No stamps. It’s bad, but you can’t do it.

That’s not true. Certificates are, however, a good opportunity to seven, because how do you find the “actual”?

Through practice

I’m excited, I’m sorry. So first you hire all the advertisers, let them trade with your money and after a year you’ll see who won you and who brought you losses?

The problem at the point is that every henbambel who we say in the yard is looking for a job, the staffer can lie to the motto faithfully: I can weld.

A sweat certificate is the physical proof that you are able to show someone who has any diplomas, etc., that you can draw a few stitches.

This may not be the world, but at least you can do something.

I’m just guessing that our henbamble can actually weld, just never showed anyone who has the right to exhibit a sweat certificate, how great he can.

If I were a good person, I would, if I understood something about sweating myself, lash with the lawyer a little bit about the subject. So you could guess if he’s just telling something to get the job, or if he’s following the American 2 steps plan.

  1. get the job
  2. learn to do it

If I’m insecure, or even have little or no idea of sweating, I’d take him to the factory halls and introduce the Günther who has worked with us as a welder for 20 years. Then the Günther should let him draw two or three short stitches. Then we’ll see.

Because “actual” can be more subjective and certificates are more meaningful.

How to determine the “actual skill” of dozens to hundreds of applicants if not based on standardized certificates and certificates?

Those who come in this way into the narrower selection are then regularly looking at each other more closely.

But why do you do this when you have long left behind you these defeats of the common working life and now float in higher spheres?

Good Wednesday,

because otherwise everyone – even unskilled or slightly trained – can claim to have good technical knowledge, although one has max. lower/light basic knowledge than forklift drivers and one previously claimed one has specialist knowledge in electrical installation.

Because bosses aren’t telepaths.

That’s why I didn’t start working.

I was throwing my doctrine with 17 and was only given the wrong name and then went through with foreign capital.

The ability then turns out only during the trial period. What the applicant BEHAUPTET does not keep the employer.
