'We're interviewing him' | Candidate lists THIS on CV, sparking debate on workplace skills

A job applicant who secured an interview after listing ‘Googling’ as a skill on their CV has sparked an online debate about the importance of being able to use a search engine in the workplace.

Software Developer Cat McGee’s tweet went viral this week after revealing she received a CV from an applicant who had listed one of his skills as ‘Googling’. The developer went onto explain that her company was preparing to interview them too.

“Got a CV today and the guy literally listed one of his skills as ‘googling’ – We’re interviewing him,” Cat posted.

While seemingly intended to raise a smile – and perhaps an eyebrow – the tweet received more than 184,000 likes, 16,000 retweets and 2,000 replies, igniting a debate about whether ‘Googling’ should be taken seriously as a workplace skill.
