Which sentences show signs of good, Impressive résumés? Impact of good résumé
Heather is a hiring manager at a Jacob Steel Pvt. Ltd. She had to call five potential employees for an Interview for a new opening. After
advertising the new opening, she asked the applicants to send their résumés by email or courier. She received 15 applicants' résumés. Some of
the résumés were cluttered with too much information. Heather took more time to assess these résumés. She had to pay extra attention to find
out the important details. A few of the résumés were printed on green and blue paper. It was disturbing to read through the résumés with the
colored paper. A few résumés were much easier to read. There was enough white space and they appeared clean with consistent headings and
bullets.
Some of the résumés that were emailed displayed to-the-point Information, but there were many inconsistencies in the format. Some résumés
were chronological, while some were functional or a combination of the two. One résumé had all the headings in different font sizes. Some of
the font was bold and some wasn't. A few résumés came attached with a cover letter. The cover letter included strengths and accomplishments
of the applicants. This was easy for Heather to assess and finalize. After three grueling hours, Heather finalized five applicants and called them
for further rounds.
