Resumes are often flawed and imperfect, we get that.
But you might also think of the contemporary US style CV as a marketing document. By that measure, it provides valuable insights into individual writing, communication, and presentation skills. Intangible things we look for in good managers.
- josephwesley 12y agoI disagree. I think it teaches bad habits where you write in a "CV" style. Instead, why not have people write a one-page document with short paragraphs and bullet points for why they should get hired. This can include GPA, results, and experience, but I personally just want to see it in a different format than a dry, bullet-pointed resume.
- JSeymourATL 12y ago>bullet points for why they should get hired: The resume (CV used interchangeably) is merely a tool for guiding the conversation on background & experience. Treating a job-seeker as a supplicant is a turn-off to professional candidates.
