+1, every job interview I’ve ever had, it was obvious that the interviewer was reading my resume for the first time during the interview.
Comment on When the lunacy of the absurd job application finally puts you over the edge

Considering what I’ve entered into job applications and still gotten the job, I am pretty fucking sure nobody actually reads your resume or application until 15 minutes before your interview if ever.

As someone that was hiring that is correct and I didn’t read the other 200 resumes sent in either. Picked 5, interviewed and hired 1 out of the 5 resumes I read

Reminds me of the green text of the HR person who throws the top half of the resume pile in the garbage because they don’t want unlucky people working there

No, its not. I also hire and we take the time to look through the CVs of relevant candidates. If I call someone in I will have questions about their CV for the interview.
