Resume Black Hole - Microwave Engineering Talent Newsletter



Resume Black Hole By: Dave Germond, Cleared Executive Search
Good Engineering &Technical Personal /Managers/ and support personnel sent to the wastebasket or deleted because of a name or nationality THAT SOUND FORIGEN. This applies to anyone if born in the U.S. or not that has a suspect name. We have become a diverse nation and not every one can be a Bill, Sam, Tony or Mary. Some never get an interview because of this and the employer misses a great opportunity to hire a very productive employee. Well this is a problem since 9/11 that employers have a problem even looking at a resume with a foreign name and just dismiss the resume out of hand. Recruiters have sometimes a 1,000 resumes a day to look at and many qualified candidates go un noticed. We all know that we have many hundreds of thousands of people who have legally immigrated to the United States and are excellent contributors and upstanding U.S. citizens. I know first hand because of my 40 years recruiting for the defense market and even my wife who is Japanese/American and a citizen. In the medical field the doctor had her change her name in the office from Machiko to “Mary”. Well this is a definite problem for a candidate seeking employment in our industry and a great problem for the employers missing qualified candidates in this desperate market for qualified personnel.
