resume extravaganza

If I was an interviewer Choosing 5 resumes out of 34 resumes were not as difficult as I thought because as I was glancing through the bunch of resumes five resumes just stood out for me such as page numbers 2,7,8,17,22. These five resumes were very easy to read and I got pick up the information that I really wanted to get to fast. All the five resumes were well formatted for example the content of all the five resumes supported the object of the resumes.

Who to invite: Page Number 2, 7, 8 24, 26. The reason I picked these 5 resumes out of all of the others was that they were easy to read and I felt I could pick out information that i really wanted to get to fast. A lot of the others had way to much information to read, which I do not have time for in my busy work day. All five made it very clear what they had accomplished in their previous work experience and what schooling that have had up to this point in time.

Choosing 5 resumes out of the 32 that were offered was not as difficult as I thought. There were a definite 5 that jumped out at me. The ones that did were numbers 5, 19, 20, 18, and 22. These resumes all had something in common. First, the sections were clearly marked which is something I think is extremely important. The easier it is to read and the nicer it is to look at, the more the resume jumps out at you.

This was a great assignment. I felt like I was in the hiring position and had a couple openings that needed to be filled. Since we had to look over them rather quickly, we had to find things that stood out and got our attention. The resumes I liked were 5, 14, 20, 23, and 28. They all seemed to stand out from the rest. Whether it be the resume layout, heavier class load, interesting internships, or just experience in general, I thought these were better than other ones (however I didnt pick mine haha). Nonetheless, Im glad we were assigned to go through them all briefly.

While reading all those resumes the first thing I noticed was the format, too crowded resumes seemed not so attracted to the eye as the ones that had a very summarized version of their experiences. Also, I evaluated the content by reading the objective first and then the experience. While reading the objective I found better to pay attention to the ones that had very specific information about their goal.

This was a great activity! I've never viewed resumes from the "other side" before. I've only looked at my resumes or my friend's resumes to help them. I've never read resumes like an HR coordinator and now I realize how difficult their job must be on a daily basis!

After quickly reading through the resumes, I have chosen numbers 5, 9, 20, 22, and 32. I really liked how these resumes were easy to read. They had a good layout and were very eye appealing. These resumes were well written and had good objectives. Their work experience often correlated with their objectives. As a group, they were involved and good students.

This assignment was more challenging then I thought that it would be. I didn't expect to have so much trouble making judgments based on resumes. I thought it would be relatively easy and I thought 10 minutes would be plenty of time. I guess I was wrong. It was hard to draw a conclusion about whether the person would be good for a job in such a short period of time. I bet a lot of these people would be great at the job and i didn't pick them. I also think some of the people that I picked might not be the best person for the job.
