Apparently there is a hiring manager who refuses to look at resumes unless even twenty year old positions have full descriptions with them.
I'm exhausted. I've been told for over a decade NOT to put that stuff in because it's too wordy and will get my resume round filed.
So I have to hunt down old old resumes to remember what I even had there.
Between that and the rush rush rush on this one I'm getting very wary.
@jerry Same; it's apparently what the person who vets resumes before they're officially submitted told the external recruiter talking to me.
The positions in question are literally a different field and one was three months and is only on the resume for the job title.
I wonder if a male name on it would get the same response... Are resumes with just a first initial generally accepted or trashed?
@jerry Yeah. But...my alarms are going off.
It IS a .gov job. But still.
Which sounds more like "probably a guy", C Bailey or C.C. Bailey?
@jerry I may make it my generic for all resumes.
Also remembering that my last job appeared after I shortened my name on LinkedIn to something unusual but gender neutral to masculine Italian. May be time to do that again.
