    "I wish they used periods. I wish these were sentences." When you use bullet points, you don't use punctuation. Most of the time, those are fragments and not complete sentences. Using punctuation would make you look dumb. The important part is keeping the style consistent, and even then, bullets don't use punctuation.

      That's not actually as bad as it sounds. Hiring someone is a huge risk because of access to secure information, money, etc. Additionally, an incompetent employee can waste lots of money. Companies have a tendency to hire someone an employee already knows because that person is already known to be trustworthy. That's why networking skills are really important. I know that sometimes people hire a friend or family member who should not have been hired, but that's not what I am talking about.

      Realistically, there is already a better system that is way more robust than a random HR person reviewing a resume. Computer programs scan these documents for key words and weed out resumes that don’t fit. Plus, most jobs require an online application process that also works to vet candidates. Maybe a dozen or so candidates make it through this process and their resumes are forwarded onto a hiring manager. If the resume looks like trash, why would I even consider that candidate if I were the hiring manager.
      You act like the information on how to write a resume isn’t readily available. A quick google search will give you all the information you need. Every university in the country teaches resume writing in capstone courses. Top candidates aren’t getting turned down for trash resumes. If their a top candidate, their resume is probably top notch too because they took the extra hour to figure out how to write a nice resume.
      A resume is a small piece of the pie anyway. You still have to interview and make a good impression.

      The thought is that if you can't put a good resume together, you don't have the basic skills. I am also not HR, but I've seen this happen, quite frequently. That's just the reality in the corporate world. If you don't have an enticing resume, then good luck finding a job.

      That's why I'd say it's important to find out about the place you are applying at before putting together a resume for them. Are they a place that wants your personality, hobbies, and individuality or are they a place that just needs a qualified person to fill a role? This evaluator clearly is looking for someone who is neat, efficient, and precise, so she looks for a resume that reflects that. If someone has a problem with her style, I suspect they wouldn't be a good fit for that company culture. Apply somewhere you think you'll fit in better, and I think you'll find an evaluator who shares some of your opinions on what makes a good resume.

And trust me that's too much, since odds are that these resume-lookers have tons of other responsibilities they have to attend to. Hence why they look for any reason to toss the resume in the trash. Not to mention misspelling a very common word, especially when you have to encounter that word at least a million times in formal education, that's already a red flag. Especially when odds a person odds are has the time to proofread. And with spellcheck on Microsoft Word, there's no excuse for misspelling the word, "education."

      Rohith Kumar it depends on the job. If u applying for a big top job u need to be qualified. If ur applying for a small job at a small place then u dont need much

      You want them to talk to 5000+ applicants each time they need to hire somebody ?

    She’s the type of person who will look at a PowerPoint presentation that says, “Our company will lose $100 billion if we don’t press the red button now,” and be like, “mmm, nope. The font doesn’t look like 12 and it needs to be Arial not Times New Roman.”

    The expert doesn’t know the importance of the experience that team orientated activities provide the candidate, nor does she know how impressive that GMAT score was, but hey at least she knows how to spell education.

    She is good at pretending that what she is saying matters. I mean it only matters because she wants to feel like she is in charge of something.
    This is worst thing I saw in a while and I look at black pill content regularly.

    Adding personal interests (e.g. dance team) can be great if your hiring manager/future boss is into those things... every interview I've had, the hiring manager took interest in the misc. interests of mine

      Yea because we know that bosses think that you have no interest outside of your work, and that you are not a real human being.

      The preson highering does cause they want some information about your personality and hobbies.
      Cause hobbies can have transferable job skills and may even show your reilabilty.
      And they want to chose someone who will mesh well with others they have hidered so it's easier to integrate them into a team.

    Anyone looking for a job watching this should know that these nitpicky morons are probably your small time shops or small time employers. Large corporations don’t have time messing with the tiny details. They want qualification and experience. You meat 50% and you most likely will be on top of the list.

    I always remember someone’s random statement of “I throw away half of the resumes i get, because I don’t want unlucky people to work for me.”
    Live down the street from a restaurant, all my bosses in the past loved me, was applying for a server position.
    Never got a call back

      If I knew a hiring manager was doing that, I'd automatically stop supporting that business. Period.
      That's absolutely ridiculous.

    These are like the judges of talent shows that rejects talented people after having seen 3 seconds of their performance.
