Preferences of Personnel and H.R. Directors
September 17th, 2008
It should be more than noted and appreciated that different H.R. directors have different preferences when it comes to job resumes and applications. It is up to the individual job seeker to “do their research and homework”. If you go fishing you may like strawberry cheesecake but what matters is what “bait “ the fish like.
As an example one personnel director may prefer a freshly typed or printed resume that is specifically orientated and the opening that the firm is trying to fill. It shows thoroughness and attention to detail in the candidates that they are seeking for the posted job.
Other personnel directors may prefer and actually gives preference to standard two page formats if they are copied on high quality rag content paper stock and do look gray are as if they are mass produced by a laser printer by the hundreds.
Yet you may find that a corporate head hunter votes highly for a standard second page that lists details and a customized first page that more than clearly states how your qualifications and objectives specifically relate to the firm’s or their client firm’s needs .
It all comes down to needs and preferences of the H.R. director , their firm or corporation or those of their clients.
Their is no one “right” or “correct” answer. It all comes down to hard work of research , attention to detail and getting down in the trenches.
