How we evaluate resumes...
Our experienced resume evaluators carefully
analyze and evaluate resumes and can spot over 50 different types
of errors, many that are invisible, some even unknown. With insightful
comments, a graded evaluation on a 100-point scale using 20 elements
in 8 categories will also be sent. Comments will cover 3 types
of errors — Lethal Defects, Disqualifiers and Impediments:
| Lethal
Defects The defects immediately
remove any candidacy, no matter how qualified the job seeker
is. |
| Disqualifiers Although
less severe, the 10-30 second resume review eliminates
any opportunity, especially for competitive positions. |
| Impediments Some
are invisible but it aggregates: It diminishes impact,
weakens the resume and reduces optimum marketability. |
