Dredging for Gold

[ravan]

In resume's, that is. I am astounded at a) how many people can't handle basic singular/plural and tense (trainings, experiences, present instead of past for old jobs), b) how many people have long resumes that say little, and c) how many apparently senior people will apply for a fairly junior job, even though they are currently working in their field. The female to male ratio is a bit dissapointing, too. For a Craigslist advertised job, only two out of 26 seem to be female.

I'm so glad I'm not in recruiting, my eyes would bleed.

Senior guy knows job is about to go "poof" and correctly reckons there is a higher likelihood of getting an interview for an un-stratospheric job ...

Definately a good point. I can think of a couple of times that I've seen this.
