The video basically says, they’re looking at your name, how long you’ve been at your current and prior job and what your education is.
This may apply to entry level or low level employees or useless people like marketing twits, but it does not apply to any technical position or mid to upper management.
If a person does not meet the technical requirements for the job “C++ developer with 10 years experience” “Large Facility HVAC manager” or whatever, it’s entirely pointless to look at their resume.
While the points as the end are saying to keep it neat and concise, I agree. But who cares if someone has a degree from whatever university that they attended 25 years ago, it has very little bearing for a position that requires 10+ years of experience.
Name gives A LOT of information. For example,
1. Was the first name misspelled at birth?
2. Does a female first name end in “isha”?
You want to know the real truth, that HR managers are never doing to admit?
The look at the EEOC status first.
The video, with starts and stops, took ten minutes to watch.
Fortunately, I’m retired.
The real question is, how many Americans are employed to produce something necessary or useful? A big service economy can only be supported by big manufacturing production.
Having read a few myself, I will say that a resume that starts off with a job objective such as “a full-time position that will provide personal fulfillment and empower me to take the next step in my career” is probably headed for the round file. I don’t give a rat’s rump what you want out of the job. What matters is what the job wants out of you.
If the format is not appealing or the first misspell it goes bye bye.
The first thing that I looked at is what they do with their spare time. If I couldn't see some hands-on, creative hobbies, I looked not further.
