Five Tips for Reviewing Resumes
1. While you get a Resume from a data base don't start somewhere else. Candidates try to grab you with the cover letter or resume. Let them. But Read the resume from the top to the bottom.( If you are a Candidates first impression is the Best one so Start with a Note while any Hiring manager Love to Read your Resume)
2. Reading Objectives will not take much of our time, read it. But don't believe it. Seriously, how many objectives say,a challenging position in (your functional or project area).If the objective doesn't match your job, such as a candidate looking for a management position instead of your individual contributor position, take note. Read on for the experience, so you can see if you and the candidate are in synch about how you would characterize the position. If there isn't an objective, continue.
3. Reading through the most recent experience Will Work out as we are searching for a candidate from the Specified Exp. (If you are a candidate, please ditch the functional experience resume. You can have a cover sheet with functional experience, but thats not a resume. Hiring managers want to see experience in reverse chronological order. Give them what they want.)
4. Hunt for similarities in product type, corporate culture, and how much the person has learned/stretched in their jobs. If you are doing embedded work, and the candidate has only had experience in transaction processing, you are right to wonder if they could learn about your product type. If you work in a small company and the candidate has had 20 years of experience in a large company, note that for your phone screen (assuming you want to call based on the experience.) Whatever you do, don't get hung up on:
a. Duration of experience at any one job. Everyones job-hopped the last few years. Don't hold it against the candidate.
b. Experience thats not precisely what you do. Someone who's worked with comparable products or in comparable industries may have a lot to offer possibly more than someone from your competitor
c. Hobbies or other personal information. This stuff isn't relevant to the job and should not be part of how you select candidates.
d. Education. A degree does not mean someone learned what they need to be successful in your open position. A degree means someone had the perseverance and the money to stick through 4 years of college. That's all. It doesn't mean they learned anything they can use on your job. Don't be wowed by the schools someone has listed on their resume. Some of the big names use graduate students to teach many undergraduate courses. If a degree means something to you (because your clients want to know about degrees), well, ok. But for most hiring managers, degrees are not a useful differentiator when reviewing resumes.
5. I sometimes look at tools experience, mostly to see how varied the persons background is. Someone who's learned an object-oriented language and a procedural language, and two different-vendor operating systems, and has used them all effectively has the skills to learn whatever language and OS I am hiring for. If you should have hired two months ago and have no money for training, then you may decide to pass on these people, but you are probably making a big mistake. In every position where I have hired, I had more trouble finding the people who would fit into the organization, not people who couldn't learn the technology.
As you read, focus on the candidates experience, not tools or skills they claim to have (certifications, education, courses, etc.)

As you read, sort the resumes into three piles: Yes, Maybe, No.
The Yes people you will phone screen tonight or tomorrow.
The No resumes you return to HR or have someone else acknowledge and let them know you are not interested.
Acknowledge the Maybes and let them know you might phone screen them.If you have analyzed the job and developed a job description, you ill probably be able to spend no more than a minute or two on each resume. If you are a fast reader, even less.
