- 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 ;-) )
