# After going through this Gist file you would have learnt:
#
# 1) How to define functions and why they are important.
# 2) What Parameters and Arguments are and how to use them in functions.
# 3) Types of Functions.
 
# A Function is a block of statement(s) that can be used more than once.
# Functions make it easy to decouple and resuse our code.

# Rule of Thumb

# After going through this Gist file you would have learnt:
#
# 1) The different types of arguments; Positional and Keyword
#    and the differences between them.
# 2) How to use Positional and Keyword arguments singly and together.
# 3) How to specify default arguments.

# Functions are not limited to simple expressions. We can have conditional
# statements, comparison expressions and other kinds of control flow statements
# that we have in programs without functions as you'll see.

Project Details

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn - Benjamin Franklin

Can Neural Networks do a better job in the hiring process? While it is obvious that they will save time allowing for recruiters to reallocate their time for other tasks and only examine promising candidates, will they truly get an intuitive understanding of human languages and get rid of prejudices that may arise during selection by hand?

On the Approach of this Project

This project will use a keywordless approach in producing a selection procedure for candidates so that the machine doesn't overfit the model on keywords. "Most recruiters focus on keywords and it's almost impossible to guarantee a fair process of candidate selection (Singh, 2016)" - Page 4 of the proposal paper.

The scope of this project and the data that will be considered later for training its neural network is on entry level/graduate positions with more emphasis on "...broad abilities such as general cognitive abili
