    3 Resume Red Flags For Any Hiring Manager 

    When you don't have a recruiting company managing your hiring needs, it takes more time to process each application. But there are always a few red flags that make it easy to spot a questionable hire from a standout candidate in Woodlake. Here are three red flags when reviewing resumes: 

    • Poor attention to detail.  Any resume riddled with typos or spelling mistakes should give you pause. Anyone can run their resume through a grammar check or spell check. If an applicant hasn't bothered to polish up their resume, or has an otherwise unprofessional resume, it's rarely a good sign.  
    • Erratic job history.  Some job-seekers have bad luck when trying to find employment. But if a job-seeker hasn't stayed at a job for more than a year or if there are large gaps in their work history, it's worth asking why. Sometimes applicants have a good answer for this-you'll want to assess their reasons before you proceed any further.  
    • Too many qualifications.  When a job market becomes more competitive, you'll often get candidates who are overqualified. With these applicants, there's always the risk they'll be dissatisfied with the work at hand and won't thrive easily in the role. You want to be sure someone is committed to staying at the job.
