What does the hiring manager look for when they scan a resume? I have been in hiring positions for close to 30 years. I have hired entry level, technical, administrative, operational and executive positions in large and small companies. The industries cover manufacturing, service and consumer industries. I have seen thousands of resumes.

The situation typically looks like this; there are specific objectives to achieve for the company. Now picture this: as the hiring manager there is a vacancy and I need someone to take on that position. It may impact the objectives so the need is urgent. Human Resources place an ad or I contact a recruiter. Either way I typically end up with resumes. Regardless of whether they have been pared down or whether I see them all, there are key points that will make one stand out over another and compel me to look closer.

Key #1
Is it readable? Is it filled with fluff that is unimportant? Did the applicant waste my time and take up space making it more of a chore with an employment or career objective? There may be a reason why I should look closely at their resume; but it rarely matches the job for which they have applied. If the information is applicable to the position, I am more compelled to look at it closely.

I am looking for useful information that may tell me the person is qualified for the position. It should compel me to want to talk to them. Facts tell me that, especially if they are clear, concise and pertain to the position.

Key #2
Is every position with every company listed with the month and year they started and completed or left the company? If I am suspicious of a gap then I automatically wonder what else they may not be forthright about. On the other hand, if I see a gap, I can easily ask about it and move forward. I do not care how many pages it takes if it gives me a more complete picture of the person”s career.

Key#3
What accomplishments have they had in each position over their career? Are they quantifiable? Did they impact directly or indirectly the bottom line of the company? Remember, I have objectives to achieve and I may see this person as a team member that will help that achievement. Even if not quantifiable, did they have a role in the success of the company or department?

The person that has supplied the right type and kind of information will get my attention every time. As a hiring manager, I am not looking for fluff but information that will give me hope that the resume”s owner can make an impact. If I see the potential, I will interview them.

Have you prepared your self for interview the interview? They are always a tricky event and one wrong answer to hiring questions could cost you your dream job…or jobs. Is the interview going to be face to face? Will it be one-on-one or is it a panel interview? You have to be ready for anything. And, the only way to be ready for anything is to practice. Spend time preparing.

Many companies are now using behavioral questions like “please describe a time where you experienced conflict and how you handled it.” These kinds of questions enable them to know how a person would behave in pressure situations. Past actions are generally a good indication of future actions, particularly in jobs.

Hiring questions can be very tricky and at times, surprising. An interviewer once asked me to tell them a joke. I laughed out loud because I thought he was kidding. He laughed back, but sadly, the question was real. I am not one with an arsenal of jokes at in the back of my head so I had to think of one really fast.

A friend of mine, who I play golf with during the weekends, always tells a joke that he dubbed “the holy trinity”. I did not want to tell the joke because it was not for the female audience and there were two women on the panel. But I didn’t have anything else in mind so I had to tell it.

I explained what the joke was about before I began telling it, partly to get approval to continue and not lose my chances of getting hired. I saw that they were interested so I told the joke and luckily they were humorous enough and started chuckling. While I did not get the job, it was because of over qualification. In fact they told me they liked how I acted quickly on my feet. The whole point, I was told, was to see my response under an unusual pressure and potentially uncomfortable situation.

Since then I always try to think of unusual hiring questions and then I practice answering them. I also spend time with clients completing this exercise. You never know what kind of question you’ll face during a job interview.

You won’t be the right fit for all the jobs that you like, but it is still good to be prepared for any hiring questions.

Here are 9 hiring question to begin practicing:

1. What is the most difficult decision you’ve ever had to make?

2. What is your approach when you have too much work?

3. How well do you work on a team?

4. How did you handle an assignment that you disagreed with?

5. How did you solve a personal confrontation with a colleague?

6. What do you know about our company and our competitors?

7. What are the 2 things that you don’t like about your previous job?

8. How did believe your last job prepared you for this one?

9. And take a joke with you.

Hiring questions will get you that dream job you’ve always wanted, so preparing for them is extremely important. Practice answering these questions with a friend and ask them to criticize your answers. This will make you better in answering hiring questions and getting the jobs you seek.
