Resume extravaganza

The 5 candidates I chose to call for an interview are 5, 8, 13, 23, 32. Scanning all resumes within 10 minutes, first of all, I looked at how well a resume has been organized. If a resume hase been written in small font size and too lenghty or has abused bold and highlights improperly, I skipped it. In another hand, if a resume was very easy to read and well-organized with proper blank spaces, I felt like to read it more in depth.

Secondly, I looked at GPA's and experiences. Since I think an applicant for entry-level position doesn't have enough professional work experiences, GPA can be used to judge how a person has been diligent and passionate in achieving one's academic success. Reading work experience parts, I only focused on how relevent those are to the objectives.

Lastly, I just skimmed the activities parts roughly. If there were outstanding and interesting extracurricular activities, I guessed what this person might have learned from these activities and how the company can benefit from it. If the guess came to an optimistic end, I picked the resume for an interview call.
