Overpackaged resume

Among many human resources leaders we visited, many reflected that many job seekers, especially fresh graduates, had serious resume over-packaging problems. What is "resume over-packaging"? Due to the increasing pressure of job competition, a large number of professional resume services are derived, and resume beautification, resume writing and personal image design are popular. These professional writers know employers' appetites very well and usually pack an ordinary resume high. This situation is that the resume is over-packaged.

These over-packaged resumes often exaggerate the internship experience, write rich and colorful work and life experiences, and describe the text with gorgeous words, which attracts the attention of employers and is often disappointing in actual interviews. It's a small problem that the photos are far away from me. Many people can't even introduce themselves clearly and fluently, and they can't express themselves freely when retelling their internship experience, so they can't stand the scrutiny of the interviewer. These situations hurt the human resources department and wasted a lot of time and resources, but the result was helpless.

Manager Wang of the Human Resources Department of China Mobile said an example: On one occasion, the mailbox received the resume of Miss Gao, a fresh graduate. The documents are very careful and professional from design to packaging. Personal photos and life photos are professionally shot and retouched. At that time, I was the head of the sales team of China Unicom, an old rival, and I also participated in many marketing professional trainings. I also participated in many practical cases, which can be described as useful materials. For such a rare talent, the company also attaches great importance to it, specially making an appointment for an interview, and also arranging an interview between the human resources manager and the marketing manager.

At first, Gao's self-introduction has been stuttering, showing a lack of self-confidence, but this tension is understandable. However, he lacks confidence in his internship experience in Unicom, and his preface is irrelevant, so he can't tell why. Of course, the marketing manager knows every detail of the work like the back of his hand, and when he asks a question, he knows that something is wrong. Later, Gao admitted that she only participated in a week-long student promotion activity organized by a business hall of China Unicom during a summer vacation. She was responsible for finding several classmates to participate, and organized the on-site work of distributing leaflets, consulting accounts and giving gifts, which was infinitely magnified in her resume.

In this case, on the one hand, it wastes a lot of time for enterprise managers. After all, it is not easy for a manager of a functional department to spend half a day interviewing. Therefore, what Manager Wang is taking now is to let a small employee of the human resources department do a preliminary interview screening, but this is equivalent to shifting the time cost and transportation cost to the job seeker, which is not a good solution for both parties.

In the conversation with manager Wang, he repeatedly stressed that their leaders attached great importance to time cost and opportunity cost. After all, it costs more to recruit an unsuitable employee than not to recruit an employee. For enterprises, the loss is not only a few months' salary, but also the training cost and opportunity cost.

Finally, Manager Wang asked me if there was any advanced technology to solve these problems. It seems that this is indeed an industry pain point that needs to be solved urgently.
