[Gllug] VACANCY: Site Reliability Engineering

[Tony Chapman]

You're absolutely right James; of course you have to convince a
potential employer you're good. Anyone can write a good CV but backing
that up in an interview situation is another story

Fallacy. Half of my time dedicated to finding a new job is spent
convincing potential employers that I know my stuff.

Because your CV looks good and because you know you're good doesn't mean
they know you're good.

Usually I tell them that if they're prepared to make an offer
conditional
on references, the references will convince them.
