Not mentioned in the Protocol article is that Angelina also has adult entertainment industry experience and expertise in Mia Khalifa. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from UC Berkeley (emphasis on Cum is in the CV).
Is it possible that some of the responses Angelina received were from pervy hiring managers, not hiring managers who only looked at the companies she claimed to have worked for?
Maybe, but then they're also morons in addition to pervs. The bullet points make absolutely no sense, the conclusion has to be that no one bothered to read the CV passed some automated buzzword scanning and perhaps a quick look at the company names.
I mean... the very first bullet says she built something using React for AI on blockchain. She was also the "team coffee maker - ensured team of 6 was fully caffeinated with Antarctican coffee beans ground to 14 nm particles".
Everything is automated at this point. I'm a one of the big tech companies and a recently received a message from a recruiter that my [completely unrelate to product] experience at [current company] made me a great candidate to build [product] at [new company].
What made it amazing was that going back two positions in my experience would show several years architecting, leading engineering, and eventually selling a company that built [product].
This highlights my number one frustration with applying for associate level software engineer roles. Recruiters see “IT Engineer” as my previous job title and don’t even bother looking at the day to day tasks I was performing to see if they’re applicable.
Unless I read this wrong "she" didn't get any actual interviews, just responses from sourcers/recruiters. I assume any actual engineering manager would figure out the bullshit on the first review of the resume.
The only interesting conclusion from this article is that sourcers/recruiters from top tech companies are attracted to candidates from other top name companies. It doesn't speak to who actually gets hired.
Obviously the top of the funnel matters, but this doesn't seem particularly scandalous.
