Initial Thoughts on Resume building

6/12/2020

I just wonder every time when I see resume is about Employer not about the candidate. If it is so then what is about the candidate which is very important to know to have the right candidate for the interviews. If people are allowed to change their work history then it is no more a fact about the candidate who can be interviewed. 2-3 mins of proper analysis of each resume saves many minutes wasted to interview the wrong candidate & saves many precious minutes which could have been used to interact with the right candidate. So I think resume should be a summary or highlights about your work history & one shouldn’t be allowed to change that history as per the JD to get the resume shortlisted.
I still wonder that people are not able to understand the disastrous effects of such changes. If one person can’t put anything related to given JD in his/her resume without looking the JD & trying to tailor the resume to make it a fit for that JD then I say that such candidate is faking something which can be dangerous for the project & the company. Tailoring the resume a bit here & there, is fine & even one can remove certain parts of the resume which are not required as per the JD but adding JD specific qualifications in the resume to make it fit, is dangerous. As an interviewer will be investing the time to interview these candidates on those skills & if by chance such candidate gets into the project then company will be investing time & money to get the required/expected work from such employee but no-one accepts the fact that such new employee tailored the resume to get into interviews & somehow got passed through due to the predefined questions/answers from the internet or due to other reasons.
A lot can be written about such practise but if one can understand the issue then I don’t need to write a lot & if one can’t or don’t want to understand then also I don’t need to write a lot.

I have seen many such selections by incapable managers & then such candidates become just a burden for other members to carry along. So for the sake of environmental sanity don't encourage changing the Resume as per the JD to get into the interviews.

​For now check my thoughts about Interviews.
