Praise the Hiring Manager May 15, 2008

Posted by Sina in : Daily , trackback

Shiva: Your résumé sucks.

Sina: What are you talking about?

Shiva: According to the text in the Résumé Bible, you’re intro paragraph needs to be two sentences longer.

Sina: There’s no such thing as a ‘Résumé Bible’.

Shiva: Of course there is, it’s right here, look. The words of the Résumé Bible are revealed to us by the Hiring Manager. The Hiring Manager is the most powerful person in the employment process, He is the ultimate decider of what is right and wrong on your application. And according to the sacred texts, your intro paragraph needs to be longer.

Sina: Shiva I don’t like you imposing your religious beliefs on me.

LOL!! I propose a social experiment: we send out 2 resumes, both with the same content, you write one and I write one, and we’ll see which one gets the most callbacks. THEN we’ll talk about my ‘Résumé Bible’.
