The job just said people had to be willing to take the course but people with it already were preferred so she just wrote in her application she had it.

It would have dropped her below other people to not have it so she kept herself on top.

    She participated in the hiring process for other people at her previous job and when their postings listed certain courses as being provided if the applicant didn't have the courses, it was a lie. If you didn't have the course you were an automatic No.

    My previous manager (same company, different team) was an idiot who somehow failed his way up and he gave way too much credit to courses and certificates. He would end up hiring the worst people (both from a team fit and a skills fit). The one candidate I pushed for that didn’t have any of that BS ended up being awesome.

    Luckily enough people complained and a few people quit that he got banished to the shadow realm (he’s good at a completely different skillset which requires you to be stupidly annoying like he is, so they moved him to a team of…just himself).
