Dear HR Colleagues
Thought of sharing my knowledge on resume screening.
Resume is the best source for investigation of a guy's attitude and seriousness on his career. I usually consider the below parameters while screening the profiles.
- Appearance of the resume. See format and approach.
- Focus: Prospective candidate should demonstrate on his career or job objective. The objective is specific and focuses on the needs of the organization.
- Spelling errors: More than two got immediately round filed. If you cannot even be bothered to spell-check your resume, you are not employable.
- Large employment gaps.
- Short periods of employment/too many jobs: Unless the positions were specified as contract positions, the person just looks like a job-hopper and or unemployable.
- Growing responsibilities from one employment to another.
- Check for accomplishments in his current and past employment.
- Check domain knowledge: Candidate will mention so many technical skills in his resume. Check his projects for these skills whether implemented or not. Also check for relevant domain experience.
- Consistency in educational percentage.
- Check email address which he mention in his resume. If the email id is unprofessional like "sexyram@xyz.com" or "hiremenow@xyz.com" or "anotherdayanotherjob@xyz.com" etc.
I may be missed out some more points. I request all of you to add your inputs.
