10 Flaws in Assessing Resumes for Consulting Positions

Do you k now that in West Virginia, it is legal for one to take roadkill home for dinner?

Actually why would anyone do that?

I suppose for the same reason why some consulting firms recruit new associates based on their resumes.

Just as you can’t get good nutrition out of roadkill, you can’t get great performance out of people who get hired based on their resumes.

While this is a normal and acceptable procedure for hiring industrial workers and manual labourers, getting bogged down with resumes can seriously backfire when recruiting associates for consulting firms. The basic difference is that resumes can show the people's presumed knowledge but not the real understanding of their subject matters.

What is the difference?

Only 10 differences, and this is what we discuss this month's blood-boilingly stupendous episode
