Do you consider yourself an expert in your field? If so, what makes you an expert?

tl;dr did you make up a bunch of acronyms and renamed things to create your "expert" self in the business you operate?

Yes, 10+ years experience, only a handful of companys do the same thing, barrier to entry is small but almost all individuals who try fail because they cant mitigate fraud.

Aha so you consider length of time in a (paid) field something that qualifies someone as an expert.

You mentioned fraud mitigation: is that done by implementing best practices so systems are in place to make fraud more difficult or is it an ability to screen people effectively to minimize the risks of fraud? What aspects of fraud make you an "expert", other than experience?

Yes; graduating with a Master's degree top of my class twelve years ago; working in my industry since then, during which time have published a number of white papers and articles detailing novel research, and developing propietry software that does things literally no-one else in my field can do.

Making up acronyms and essentially blagging it, no. This is not the way to be an expert.

Yes. 10 years experience in some of the busiest and most complex job sites in the world. Perfect safety record. My resume doesnt require embellishment.

>Do you consider yourself an expert in your field?
Yes.
>If so, what makes you an expert?
The fact that others consider me an expert.

It doesn't matter what you consider of yourself.

>>8812960
So you're someone who is knowledgeable in a topic and you share that information with clients or in papers, avoiding unnecessary technical jargon when it is not needed?

That's what you consider an expert?

>> No.8813124

>>8813047
So other people's viewpoint makes you an expert, not your skills, knowledge or ability to communicate ideas with others?
Being an expert is a social status, not an ability indicator in your opinion?

In a way.
You could be the most skilled doctor ever but if no one considers you as such you are not gonna be of importance in the big scheme of things. You'll not be present or part in experimental surgeries, you will never be candidate for pharmaceutical developments, whatever.

No. That description could apply to the Down's kid who eats his own shit. He probably knows all there is to know about eating shit. What differentiates an expert from some weirdo with a hobby is the value placed on that knowledge by the market.

Yeah, 12 years on the job. I'm changing to something new this week though, probably going to start at the bottom of a new industry sucks

So your viewpoint of an expert is that they need knowledge in fields that are profitable/can be financially measured?

>> No.8813556

>>8813274
I can see your point, no one will approach you, but does not being approached or known make you less of an expert then?

Oh man hope that goes well for you!
