Freakonomics coauthor Professor Steven D. Levitt says that over 50% of job seekers lie on their resumes.

The lies can be categorized as follow
1. Academics
2. Prior Job Title or Responsibilities
3.Prior Job's shown capability ( I increased company sales in millions)
4.Time period of Employment ( I worked as the Gen. Manager for 10 years)
5.Proficiency Levels ( I am fluent in German)

This is not working good for the international job market in many ways. CVProof crypto project emerges to solve this long lasting problem in the world job market using blockchain technology. And also every one who got involved in the job market can get benefits from this project as well which means they get paid in return while they deal in this system.(please read the white paper for information in depth) If this project succeeded, This will be a game changer for sure.

How CVProof works ? What they have to offer you and to get to know details about the project in depth.

Shit ICO again... Blockchain is not needed for this project.. Sad that people use blockchain as a marketing tactic..

What are your suggestion to do this without blockchain tech ? if it can be done in that way why still this problem occurs in the job market?  I mean why people lie on their resumes even now ? As far as I concern this project sounds good. But you can bear your opinion too.

I know that many companies need an experienced employee, but in my opinion, it really doesn't matter whats in the resume of the employee, as long as if they can do what they are told, They can have the job. Sometimes, Even experience employee can be overtaken by some people who have lower or without experience especially when they will both undergo the same traning.

It may be true. but on the other hand there are other people too who can do the same job but lack of qualifications to show on the CV, So they missed the job being the honestone. But some people still don't hesitate to lie to get the job.
And also when it comes to fields like Air pilots, what if person lie to his resume?

The concept is interesting. You would need years and years to actually make it work properly. The best way to go about it is to offer this project to some big players with already existing databases and clients, this is my opinion, of course.

To use the blockchain to validate school qualifications and work experience is an excellent idea, but the implementation seems to me frighteningly difficult: who will do the work of transcribing all the current archives?
It seems to me completely unattainable.

It's not impossible, I see where this is coming from. The truth is you would have to partner with every job and education institution out there (or almost every institution) and have them validate this information, including the archives. Most do have archives in electronic form, you would have to come up with a way for them to connect to a unified system. It's a lot of work to do, but you can get it done. The question is do you have the people to buy this service from you when you're done? Which is why I suggested partnering with the big guys.

I didn't read the whitepaper, so I might be wrong here.
From the video, any company that sends data to them can also use their data. Basically send employment info and receive the same.

It's a very good idea, and it's just another application of the blockchain (I saw recently a proposal about to use it for a general database of real estate)
May be the implementation will need some time and effort, but there result will be worth of them.

The idea is good, but the implications are terrifying: I mean: we use the blockchain for money, it's ok.
We use the blockchain for real estate. Ok.
We use it for diplomas and cv. Ok.
But then, why don't use the blockchain for ANYTHING?
Think about: anything you do will be recorded in an inalterable blockchain, where everyone can see it...
Scaring...

I agree. The idea to put everything on the blockchain - even if it could be very useful in some situation - will bring to the absolute control over population. I don't like it.

Not a good idea,employing people who doesnt have any background in your working environment will be a disaster.Its like hiring a mid-wife to do a ceasarian section?would that work? NO! we need professional people to do professional things,it is not necessary to put blokchain with job hunting.

Well, actually I like the idea to lie in my resume! :-)
I mean, sometimes we need a fresh start, after a bad professional experience, and if your past is stuck in the blockchain, it becomes a mark for life.

There are a lot of potential applications of the blockchain, and we just start to glimpse them.

To put the whole school and professional history on the blockchain could seem an interesting idea, but it sounds to me too similar to Gestapo or KBG files.

Btw,I think that at present there would be too many difficulties to implement it, so I don't see any reason to be worried.

Wow, to see both sides of the coin right here, debated with equal fervor. Trying anything new holds unforeseen dangers and a fear of the unknown for some and an avid excitement for another. I think the issue here is not about lying on resumes because the outreach could never be vast enough to prevent that. As for the morality, sometimes experience and skill works way better than any qualifications.

People lie in their resume because it's easy and increases their chances of getting a job offer. The blockchain isn't going to change this unless you log all activity of a human life on a public ledger. And I can guarantee you that people don't want to have their info out in the public for all to see.

I think partnering will happen when more people start to understand the value of this project. It will take time, This project will not go to moon in night night. to me this is this is a long term reliable project.

I don't think every one wanna see some one's profile without a reason. We can see how this project gonna work in future.

I saw a similar project. Cant find again.
This is not always applicable. There are many posts that can not be available public for all to see.

Honestly I don't care that people do this and that is because the requirements for jobs are stupid and arbitrary at best and at the same time you have a catch 22 always on going with employers. For that reason I have zero remorse for the employer especially when they make arbitrary tests. My roommates gf went for an interview the other day and they made her do a test on software that was over 7 years old, which was at best arbitrary. So yeah I have zero remorse for these people, maybe they should soften their requirements and look for people who can do the job rather than be robots and listen to every instruction they say. Just a thought.

This. You should try to change this, not the fact that people lie.
If people don't lie, chances that they get their first gig are very low.

Yes I have the same opinion towards this project, This project needs some times to establish. Yes as you said it is important to engage with some big players to get a good start.

well i already encountered that kind of people. they are lying on thier resume or application form.. but every company has a employee to clarify all of the information of the applicant if the information of applicants is true or not. by the way, if you are one of that kind of applicant,, please stop lying hehe

Aviation and educational companies should take advantage of this project I guess. pilots and teachers lying on their resumes is very dangerous I think. i guess it makes sense to you.
You still can lie on other sectors ?  ;D

Let's face it, these days it is almost quite impossible to get a good job that pays good money. This perhaps is the reason why applicants prefer to lie in their resume rather than facing the fact that they are not fit for that job. In addition, we also have to consider the fact that people can learn, so there is no hindrance for him or her not to learn the job he or she is applying for.

I just saw an italian project about certifications, exact with the same goal to avoid fake titles and fake diplomas.
Btw, I'm very skeptic not only about the difficulties of implementation, but because I think that most of the people won't accept a so strict control about their past.

Really? Interesting to go through their white paper. If you found it just drop it here so that we can check. Anyways, CVProof will lead completion i guess, If there is a competition  ;)

Yes, I admit there is one side of this issue that which we have to consider about humanity. And on the other hand if a lie can harm other people we must consider about it too.

I think This matter is not relevant for me. Because I don't work or I have no idea to apply for a job since I am a online trader. lol.  :D

My friend got a job in the campaign using a lie. Yes, it's not good. But an interesting fact, he turned out to be one of the best employees in his field))).
It turns out that the proposed project can work not for good.

...this is a project for doctors, drivers, pilots and others, on which human life directly depends.

yes agree with you, that's my point too.  This system can be used in specific fields directly can make an impact on the society as you mentioned roles such as Pilots, Doctors etc...

Medical, aviation and education jobs are directly related to human lives, I think those are the areas where CVProof will work well and it should be applied for better results. I don't think each and everyone in the world job market should use CVProof, and it wont happen in near future either. However we should accept this idea has a value. people who realized it will adapt to cvproof system.

What if a doctor or pilot lied to CV and people die due to a his mistake as he doesn't have real qualifications for that particular duty to do as he mentioned the CV? I think this the place where CVProof will work. Human lives are precious. We shouldn't let a lie destroy precious lives.
