Resume Scanners

Post #46,819 by deSitter 7/25/02 10:50:06 AM Reply	Resume Scanners Most resumes are never seen by human eyes. A resume screener auto-circular-files the ones lacking buzzwords and phrases. I think Matloff quoted something like 3% generating even an interview, and 25% of that a hire. -drl

Plus if it did make it past the droids, management may not be impressed by that comment and toss it out anyway. The idea is to make something that can pass the scanners, the droids, and the management. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*
