Subject:Re: resume fondling -- am I being too picky? From:"Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Sat, 30 Apr 2005 08:48:07 -0700
Also, from a manager's viewpoint, the consequences of my screening
process causing me to exclude someone who might have turned out
to be able to do the job (i.e., lengthening my search and requiring me
to make schedule changes and do more hands-on document work
myself) are far less painful than the consequences of hiring someone
who turns out not to be able to do the job.
My point was precisely that I do not pick the best candidate out of
the group of resumes I have. If no one meets my expectations, I
discard the whole lot of resumes I have and I broaden my search.
As Gene indicated, there is hardly a shortage of candidates.
