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.

I'm talking to the recruiter this morning -- the positions in question are one that's 20 years old and was an intern position, one that's 13 years old and only on there for the job title as it was three months (reorg due to Act of Congress, shit you not), and they were in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FIELD.

My gut feeling is either the hiring manager already has someone in mind and will reject anyone else OR whoever was vetting the resumes saw a female name and balked.

Vetting person is also female. However, solution arrived at was "just remove those two from the resume" which I'm good with.

(Also I don't feel like explaining to employers that one of the the companies in question was apparently repeatedly investigated by the OIG and I was the 11th person in that position in ten months, turnover was so high.)
