Hiring managers spend just six seconds on your resume before they decide on you — this is exactly what they look at.

The video basically says, they’re looking at your name, how long you’ve been at your current and prior job and what your education is.
This may apply to entry level or low level employees or useless people like marketing twits, but it does not apply to any technical position or mid to upper management.
If a person does not meet the technical requirements for the job “C++ developer with 10 years experience” “Large Facility HVAC manager” or whatever, it’s entirely pointless to look at their resume.
While the points as the end are saying to keep it neat and concise, I agree. But who cares if someone has a degree from whatever university that they attended 25 years ago, it has very little bearing for a position that requires 10+ years of experience.
I was a headhunter for faculty for a major university for quite a few yrs. 10 seconds with a vitae and I was done.
Name gives A LOT of information. For example,
1. Was the first name misspelled at birth?
2. Does a female first name end in “isha”?
So what you’re saying is that when a director level position was open, you spent 10 seconds on a resume and were concerned mostly about their name, the prior company name and what school they attended?
You want to know the real truth, that HR managers are never doing to admit?
The look at the EEOC status first.
I have a friend from Michigan who worked in HR. She says all resumes that met either of those were instantly thrown in the trash
When my husband was in charge of hiring, he always looked for the military sevice record and gave preference to veterans.
What do you recommend for a woman engineer re-entering the workforce. I’m working a few hours a week for my church, but haven’t had an engineering job in 20 years.
I don’t think I’m qualified for software anymore, but I think I’m more qualified for other things like software testing and management.
The trouble with that is two-fold: the HR world is populated mostly by females and very few of those have any military service so there’s no appreciation for the skills and experience gained in the military.
The video, with starts and stops, took ten minutes to watch.
Fortunately, I’m retired.
Take some classes to get yourself updated. A continuing education always looks better on a resume.
I’m saying I could scan a vitae in 10 seconds and figure out if they met our qualifications. That included education and previous and current jobs.
Lady, if you can program, start your own project because nobody is going to pay you what you’re worth and staring over somebody elses 8 year old code isn’t fun.
Haven’t you heard that NAACP radio ad. the one where two white women are talking about a black friend who’s just had a baby? And one of them says, “I hope she doesn’t give the baby one of ‘those’ names.”
NAACP-Approved White Woman: “What do you mean?”
NAACP-Unapproved White Woman: “You know, like ‘Shaneekwa’ or ‘Jacqueeta’... It only makes it harder for them, you know what I mean?”
NAACP-Approved White Woman: “No. I don’t know what you mean.”
“The look at the EEOC status first”
and the age
My husband got flack for his preference for veterans all the time. He said, so what, I’m the staffing manager, I set the policy.
Except that I've seen 5 and 10 years experience requirements on entry level job postings.
Look up “OFCCP”. It is the EEOC on steroids.
The Federal Government making large corporations and anyone doing business with the government submit tedious search reports on positions they have filled, breaking everything down by RACE!
“For the Senor Analyst role, we received resumes from 18 candidates. Ten where white. Four were black. Two were Hispanic, one was Asian, and one Pacific Islander. Of that group we interviewed 3 white candidates, 3 black candidates, the Asian and the Pacific Islander. We hired Susie Jones, a white female, due to reasons A, B, C, D,.....”
And I really wish I were making that up.
