It's an interview - who on earth is going to fail this particular item? Do you mean during the interview? Or after, like the 'interesting article'?
- itronitron 8y agoIt's a test of the candidate's willingness to repeat something they have done in order to accommodate either a system glitch or colleague's mistake/oversight. I have worked with people who would sincerely reply that they already submitted the resume, and others that might take it as a personal insult that their resume was 'lost'. This filters out those types of people, as well as those that aren't very interested in getting hired for the position.
- projectramo 8y agoDuring the interview, I will say something like I have the physical copy in front of me but would you please send me another copy in my email? I think their assumption may be that someone printed it out for me, but didn't forward the email. Or that it was accidentally deleted. I don't pretend I've never seen the resume, and I do ask questions about the resume.
