You can't get away from the arbitrary failure component. That is the critical piece here. Along with not knowing if the disaster avoidance was the employee or a manager.

Then put that information in the CV. On that one line. Putting on your CV means you did it. Otherwise it should not be on the CV. I want to know what you did. Not what soembody else did.

Right. And Hyper-V is what he did. Savings $100K, both in the creation of the cost, and in the fixing of the cost, were someone else.

Not necessarily. If you read my post I'm saying to say why he use HyperV and gave a possible example why. If it was 'because I was told to'... That's pretty crap.

But the failure was because he was told to, right? Or is he saying that HE was going to screw up and not consolidate, but stopped himself?

No. He stopped not consolidation by doing consolidation.

Sure, but that's meaningless. He stopped failure by not failing.

Yes. And not failing is something to brag about.

Again, this is never true. Ever. You are talking about self sabotage. This is silly in the taxi / wall way.

This is not self sabotage. Telling of your success 'consolidates servers rather than like for like renewal saving x' is a success and shows depth. Saying 'HyperV' doesn't. Why HyperV. How did you decide. Why was gay better? Etc... Those are what I want to see. Not a logical static mindless void giving no information about you or why that word is on the CV at all.

Setting your own bar so low is absolutely self sabotage. You have to make yourself worthless to make such a meaningless avoidance of failure seem impressive in comparison to your personal baseline.

You are showing you have worth that you are able to prevent the failure. SAM land is such a strange place.

So, in Jimmyland, NOT driving your taxi into walls is success. And you think SAM land is weird?

No in my land stopping somebody from driving in to a wall', who was planning to, is a success.

That's what I said. So we agree.

Yes, so we agree that saying you stopped a purchase of 16 servers, and instead purchased one and consolidated saving cash is useful. Cool.

Yes. It is useful, compared to being useless.

So... Why have you been disagreeing entirely...

Because if you feel that avoiding being useless is a point to brag about, you have set the value of the employee so low that I would put the CV straight in the trash. Clearly, their measure of success is so low, that even being successful, they aren't good enough to hire.

See the issue? You have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. The candidate is so bad, that this modicum of failure avoidance is needed to show that they are not totally useless.

You arent bragging about not being useless.
You are bragging about how you have been a success and useful.

Normal people avoid all kinds of failures every moment, of every day. Imagine if you bought a Corvette and came home and your wife is furious because you spent $150K that you didn't have, on a car you didn't need. Now explain to her how dumb she is because you ACTUALLY saved $300K by not buying the $450K Ferrari that you also didn't need. Boy will she fill dumb once she realized how much success you had in not buying that Ferrari.

The success would have been on the wife's CV saying 'Saved 100k through purchase of a Ford'. In your example they both failed

How do we know that Hyper-V was not like the Corvette? Nowhere was the business process or success mentioned, only the avoidance of the Ferrari. We have no reason to think that Hyper-V was the right, or even a good choice, only that what other option was considered was worse.

But you've highlighted my point. The "success" is skipped here. We have the Ferrari and the Corvette only in the CV example, never the Ford. So you've caught my point, but I'm not sure you've applied it to the problem at hand.

The fact that the CV writer is saying it's a success and explaining why... Is why.

There is no explanantion and no foundation for calling it a success. Hence my assumption that it is a lie.

It must suck to assume everything is a lie. Pessimist?

Your approach is to just assume anything, no matter how illogical or unlikely, on a CV is the truth?

Until I meat them and question them, yes. That's the point of the face to face. To assume it's not the truth is just a bad place to be.

It's not when the statement is a fundamental lie. There is no foundation for a statement like $150K being saved under those conditions. There is no truthful statement to make in that manner because such a valuation cannto be made. So it is a known falsehood.

It can be said. If the director is about to sign off on the purchase but the Candidate stopped it and convincing them to change.. that can be said. Along with any savings etc. Who are you to say they lied?!

If it's released to the job, you probably should.Its better than bragging get about nothing and listing a word.

As a hiring manager, I don't agree. I want to know what is useful to me and factual, not opinion and only useful to someone else.

Knowing a prospect is able to stop failure is surely useful. If rather hire somebody that can show an history of preventing failure over one that never has.

No, because that is almost entirely dependent on the person created the failure and being willing to avoid it, it tells us almost nothing about the candidate. Or in this case, as there isn't even a suggestion that they influenced the decision, it tells us absolutely nothing. But does tell us that they don't know how to convey meaningful information - a major business concern with IT people.

No. Disagree still. It does show it as they have said it. It shows they are not a 'yes man's and can change a project for the better.

We don't know that, because we don't know who created the failure, or who corrected it, or why. It just tells us nothing in that regard.

Who created the failure is not important. The fact he sees the failure, and proposed a better solution, and went in that direction
.... Shows a success and experience. Which needs to be told about on the CV. The why is what's important... Not a word on its own.
