Picked up by ZeroHedge: I have been reviewing resumes and just keep face palming...

The point you really should have made is that one can easily obtain assistance with preparing a resume and cover letters.

Colleges and town labor assistance centers offer this assistance at little or no cost. Kids can get free resume and cover letters help at their schools.

Even former convicts, parolees, and probationers can get free assistance.

Senior centers offer free job assistance. Public libraries offer classes in job preparedness, too. Both include help with writing a resume and cover letters.

There are services that one can hire to prepare or edit a resume and individualized cover letters, as well. Costs depend on job market and supplies provided, but generally range from $20 to $100.

In short, there is no reason for any worthwhile job candidate to have a shitty resume or a shitty cover letter.

his point proven with this.

And Peter Thiel the billionaire would argue with you......direct quote

"While he cautions that there are "no absolute and timeless sartorial rules," Thiel says that "in Silicon Valley, wearing a suit in a pitch meeting makes you look like someone who is bad at sales and worse at tech."

Maybe that's why he has a simple rule for investing: never bet on a CEO in a suit."

Billionaire would disagree

agreed, there are even resume apps now on those zombie phones that all the millennials have glued to their hands, if they can't even track one down, there is a problem in self-sufficiency...

I wouldn't work for that guy: I am too good for that guy.

No, self employed and very successful, thank you!

Bahahaha!!!

That may be true in Commyfornia but go to Wall Street ALL THE MEN ARE WEARING SUITS! Unless they are the window washers or fedexers!

So what was he implying if he wasn't implying that he required resumes? Answer the question

Here's the problem:

You start getting 100's of resumes that look identical, and you realize where it came from, and you start judging anyone that would use that app.

It's all horseshit. It's human nature gone stale. It's not effective for the applicants and it's not effective for the companies that are doing the hiring.

Everyone wants to call me the idiot, nobody wants to propose a new paradigm that satisfies everyone.

Everyone desperate to cling to the old, outdated and ineffective ways.

Actually, the old ways are applications for factory jobs.

But there's an even better way, still.

Still waiting for you to explain what's wrong with the numbes? Oh wait you can't

Also, it is poor form to use abbreviations and colloquialisms in a résumé.

I agree, spent enough time with the individual and talk to figure out whether he is ideal for a position or not. Today in in a world of fake, resume can be cut&paste or made up. Inpatience, instant gratification is what's on peoples minds

A resume for bench work??

That's sort of like looking to buy a suit at the gas station.

Have them fill out applications with references, and then check them out that way. Interview them about their work asking pertinent questions about the tools or equipment, and then test the best ones on a bench.

I think we've passed each other in our vehicles.
Doppler effect makes your voice rise, then fall in pitch as we approach, and then speed past each other.
You probably noticed the same about me.

My son just interviewed for a job, all candidates were told to show up at the same time, there were eight of them. My son said he was the only one who wore a suit and had a resume in hand.
He got the job!.
Thank God!


Was your son trying to fuck them.....last time i checked hiring based on a prospects clothes is fucking stupid especially if the job does jot require a suite


The job does not require a suit, in fact it was a firefighter EMT position, my son was taught that wearing a suit is a sign of respect. I'm sure the fact that he has all his certificates and months of volunteer experience helped a great deal as well.


Hahahaha he wore a suit to be a fireman? What a fucking idiot


Really? Well, he's got a great paying job and future as a fireman!

You're still a severely brain-damaged, self-entitled, unemployed parasite who still lives with his parents!

Now who's the fucking idiot?




And that stupid shits answer is the cherry on top of the entire fucked up millenial Sunday. I mean how do you criticize someone for wearing a suit to a job interview? I don't care if it was for McDonald's. I just hope one day they seek employment so they have the opportunity to learn this.

I mean this is a thread of millenials telling a business owner OP that resumes don't matter. Like this is somerule they are entitled to. That he is stupid for wanting quality in his company. He is stupid because it is a lowly manufacturing job. And obviously they are qualified for much more and he has his bar set too high. These kids are going to be SOL when mom and dad die and they have to become independent. Maybe they will remember this thread when they are interviewing at the local pizza place in their 40s.


Even scarier, they may one day - if we aren't Communist - this country!

OP and several others in here think that resumes are the most important thing in the world

What are you even trying to say

It's terrible to take advantage of handicapped people like that.

By the way, what airline is she flying for? So I can avoid it.

Isn't that something. I remember a construction superintendent who checked the roughness of the job prospects' hands as one of the job qualifications.

Build a good one and get a job, or listen to the self-styled "experts" opinions about the necessity of resumes and get jack squat. Your choice.

Ive applied for jobs where I had to submit a resume AND fill out their application! I thought about putting (see resume) on the application, oh and dont forget the personality test!!!

Hahaha another resume tard

And make sure we fac it over too right.....and we'll let them know via smoke signal that we have faxed it.....lol at you resumes tards

One question, how old are the people that are applying to work at your company? If you say they are all under 30 or the majority that apply whom of which are under 30 are the ones with bad resumes, then you have to be lying. I can guarantee a large portion of the people you see applying are at least in their mid 30's to early 40's, seeing as how those were the dominant ages in the manufacturing job market. Most of whom lost their jobs back in 08 during the start of the recession and are still picking up the pieces today.

Anyways, if you have someone else help you with your resume, it then becomes NOT your resume, due to outside assistance, therefore the resume you get presented with will be given by someone whom in your eyes didn't care enough or didn't want to work hard enough to put effort into said resume so they had someone else do it. At least the people with shitty resumes you can assume did it themselves and had enough courage to bring it in, in hopes of being hired for their work in presentation.

Just a thought.

Who gives a fuck, while you're busy with your grammer other people are making money
