If I may adopt your strategy, I've learned from your post that
- you're quick to jump to unsupported conclusions. Perhaps you could create some kind of mat for this.
- you're a bit of a traditionalist,
- you think resumes are better than actual contact
- Sarah has done a smart thing by allowing your type to self-select out of the game
[I await the downvote frenzy with a considerable amount of pleasure!]
- wccrawford 15y ago- somewhat - yes - No! I think they a precursor to contact for a reason. Why would I let her waste hours of time (mine, or other employees) without even having an idea if she's qualified or not? - Possibly... But I thought the object of this exercise was to find a job, not to eliminate options. For the record, I upvoted you... Mainly because the first one seems to be self-referential. ;)
- urbanjunkie 15y agoResumes and CVs are a crapshoot, and typically add little real value - for the most part they give you almost no idea whether the person is really qualified or not. At this point, if I was hiring and in Boston (or wherever), I'd be tempted to shoot her an email asking her for reference sites, and then on looking at the sites, perhaps grabbing a quick coffee with her. Time taken (1 minute to 1 hour) As for removing options, I think that's fine - she clearly doesn't want another development McJob, so having a filter (for her and you) is actually a time saver - I mean, you didn't even have to spend 5 minutes reading her resume (although you've probably lost way more time out of your busy schedule reading the comments on HN ;-) )
