Re: resume fondling -- am I being too picky?
Getting a great deliverable out the door with happy users should be more
important than whether they mis-use the word "its/it's" once on a
resume.
I think John's onto something here. I no longer automatically eliminate
candidates whose resumes show formatting inconsistencies. If the content
attracts my attention enough to want to know more, I schedule an
interview. Then, during the interview, I point out what I found in the resume
to the candidate; this gives me a chance to see--in real time--how this
candidate works with feedback from an editor or peer reviewer. This
practice of mine has led to many fascinating discussions I might not
have had otherwise.
