Resume Reviewing Approach - Tactics to make the process more quick or effective
All,
When you are reviewing resumes for applicants by the masses, what are some tactics to make the process go more quickly/effectively? I am staring at a sea of very identical documents and I really want to give the right people the chance without reading every little description.
3.3 ding - could even be 3.5 if you wanted to be more efficient. i personally do 3.5. shitty schools ding
Whats your definition of a shitty school?
Is it one you never heard of?
well it depends on what you're reviewing resumes for right?
but, in general, yes. and that's because i'm familiar with LACs having gone to one myself.
I don't know what's up with the personal descriptions on resumes... Read over 50 this week and at least 25 had one. SERIOUSLY, WTF.
oh and applying from india/china without being in the US yet... ding.
You could go through the pile in a few rounds. I found that approach was a good mix of efficiency and fairness.
Round 1: trash all the immediate "no" candidates. hopefully that eliminates 50% or more of the pile Round 2: quickly skim remaining resumes and separate good candidates into a couple mini-piles by category (e.g., good SA experience, mediocre SA experience with top grades, mediocre SA experience with top extracurrics) -- it's often much easier and faster to compare candidates within the same category than across categories Round 3: roughly sort each mini-pile by quality
After that, just decide how many candidates from each category you want to interview. Then you're done!
