A Resume has nothing whatsoever to do with whether a person would be an excellent candidate for a manufacturing position.

You are essentially requiring mastery of English to prove you can notice detail on a block of wood or whatever it is you do.

If you were as smart as you want your applicants to be, you'd judge them based on their motivation and ability to be trained to DO WHAT YOU NEED THEM TO DO and nothing more.

Many times an illiterate person will do a far greater job at manufacturing than someone with a PHD in English.

Seriously, I think you might just be trolling with a post this stupid.

He's not trolling and I think you are completely off base.

A resume shows quite a bit about a person, how they think, their level of detail, how educated they are, etc.

If they can't even create a simple resume explaining who they are and what they can offer a business in terms of "value", why should they even be considered?

What you're saying is the person can be uneducated and ignorant, but if they can screw two blocks of wood together... they should be hired?

I understand what you are saying, but if I owned a business and was looking to hire someone for ANY position, I would want the most qualified (educated) candidate. If they graduated high school and cannot complete a proper sentence, there's a problem and you shouldn't be enabling it.

...or...

It shows quite a bit about the person they had write it for them and nothing at all about the job candidate regarding how they think, their level of detail, or their education.
 Quoting: Ravenage


It still shows the applicant put the effort into presenting a good resume. That would tell me the applicant would find ways to get things done correctly.
