How to distinguish authenticity from resume?

In the recruitment season, an HR may even read hundreds of resumes a day. Faced with colorful resumes and eloquent applicants, the task before us is how to cultivate a pair of discerning eyes and help enterprises select real talents from them. How can we distinguish between true and false, discard the false and keep the true?

"Resume is not fake, it is a typical big bluff", which is a sentence circulating in university campus. Today, with fake and shoddy products flooding the market, the wind of resume "water injection" is getting worse. ...

In a survey of 1000 college students, it was found that 66% of college students recognized this kind of fraud, and more than 80% of college students properly "packaged" their resumes. Faced with this set of figures, it is not difficult for us to understand why there are so many student union presidents, outstanding student cadres and school speech contest champions at one time.

There are many deep-seated reasons for resume fraud, such as the imperfect credit system of the whole society and the low cost of fraud. It will take a long time to solve this problem completely, and it needs the continuous improvement of the social credit system.

The form of false resume

Faced with colorful resumes and eloquent applicants, the task before us is how to cultivate a pair of discerning eyes and help enterprises select real talents from them. How can we distinguish between true and false, discard the false and keep the true? How to identify false resumes in HR recruitment? Let's first look at the tricks of counterfeiters. False resumes usually take the following forms.

1. Time connection is incorrect.

Applicants only pay attention to the falsification of work content, experience and ability, but ignore time. Time is contradictory, working in two companies at the same time, or working full-time while studying. In order to meet the recruitment requirement of "working in this position for several years", the applicant deliberately extended the working years related to the applied position and forgot to adjust other time. This kind of fraud method is the worst and the easiest to identify, which shows that candidates' fraud is not "serious", as long as we pay a little attention.

2. Young and old

To exaggerate, many candidates have taken up the positions of department managers, directors or assistant general managers at a young age in order to show their talents, which is very rare (not without) in real life. If he is such a young wizard, the general company can't let him go. It is better to give up as soon as possible.

3. All-around champion

He has all the abilities. He is a superman. A general resume, no matter what position you are looking for, I have the abilities needed in the workplace. Only what you don't need, nothing I don't have. Although there is no such all-around champion in life, to say the least, his description is true, objective and accurate. Then he must be the target of the headhunting company, and he will never find a job by sending his resume. Anyone who describes himself as a person with extraordinary ability and who I am, just delete it. Watching more is a waste of time.

4. Exaggerate the size of the company

Maybe it's a small company with 30 to 50 people, but in order to raise the importance and gold content of their jobs, we still have to describe a large enterprise with thousands of people. People who do human resources work should pay attention to the collection and accumulation of all kinds of information at ordinary times, and enterprises in related industries should also know a little. If this applicant meets our requirements in all aspects, you can check the company he used to work for online. In today's information age, companies of average size will have their own websites. Check with the human resources department, make a phone call and find out about the job situation of the applicant. Telephone survey is an essential part of important job recruitment.

5. English resume

Many people are used to attaching English resumes to Chinese resumes to show their English level. It has even been pointed out that they are fluent in reading and writing, strong in listening and speaking, and strong in English negotiation. I once interviewed such a candidate. In fact, the position does not require English ability, but the author decided to interview in English. The applicant was surprised and asked in Chinese, "Does the marketing director need to have a certain level of English?" The author replied in English: "No, but I hope to communicate with you in English." He smiled awkwardly and said in Chinese, "Sorry, I'm not ready. My spoken English is not very good. " It turns out that he can negotiate in English, and our interview is over without an English interview.

The consequences of false resume taking advantage of it

What will happen if our discriminating ability is limited and we can't effectively identify these false resumes?

The candidate was lucky enough to enter the company with a fake resume, and he would think that cheating in this company is effective, which is quite dangerous in his future work. In addition, some resume counterfeiters have developed the habit of lying, which runs counter to our basic values. For example, the marketing director candidates mentioned above, such as marketing directors and sales representatives, often have to deal with money and goods. They work in the front line of the market, even with a perfect system, it is difficult to monitor and supervise everything from time to time, so the self-discipline of employees is very important. In the recruitment of such a position, the most important item in the "quality evaluation" is the "integrity" test, which has a veto power. Although there is no English level in the ability requirement of the marketing director, his lying performance makes the author no longer trust him, and the author has the right to question all his statements. If you lose trust, you lose everything. This principle can be applied to all interviews.

A good resume is always moving.

So what kind of resume is a good resume? The author remembered the slogan of a brand: moving is always there. Simply put, a resume that can impress the interviewer is a good resume.

I read tens of thousands of resumes because of my work, and I still remember the one I read 20 years ago. That's Guangdong Jiabao Group recruiting sales representatives in Beijing. A resume reads: "I like to eat Jiabao bayberry very much, and I want to buy two bags every week." I am very eager to become a member of Garbo Company. Actually, I'm already here, because I've been recommending Jiabao products to my friends around me. "This is the only candidate I hired directly in my management work without an interview. Although her natural conditions are not suitable for sales according to conventional standards, her love for products makes up for all the shortcomings. She has been the best employee in the company for 8 years.

If you want to be aggressive, you must be careful, and so must writing a resume. A cover letter expressing job hunting desire is an important part of a resume. In addition, properly analyzing your own abilities and personality deficiencies in your resume can sometimes achieve miraculous results, which at least shows that as an applicant, your thinking is mature and confident.

I hope that each of us who is engaged in human resources work has a pair of discerning eyes, which can identify the authenticity of resumes and discard the false from the true. On the one hand, it is the punishment for counterfeiters, and it is also our due contribution to purifying the small environment of enterprises.
