Department Resources: Conducting a Successful Employee Selection Process -
Screening Resumes
When screening applicants' resumes, it is important to closely review the following information:
- Skills related to stated position qualifications
- Transferable skills
- Gaps in employment
- "Job-hopping"
*It is also a good idea to obtain a copy of the applicant's general application from your Human Resources Representative. It contains information that is not contained in an applicant's resume such as:
- Information on criminal convictions
- Reasons for leaving past employers
- Eligibility to work in the United States
- Salary history/expectations
- Desired days/times of work
- Issues of nepotism
*U-M-Flint routinely sends applications and resumes.
