<p>No Keith - but, I don't hold blog posts or comments to the same standard as resumes. Especially since most of us are typing into these boxes as we think. I embarrass myself all the time on these things. I wish there was a built-in disclaimer to disregard occasional typos in these forums. </p>

<p>It only takes me a few seconds to spot typos and assorted other eligibility factors for the HECK NO pile. The few remaining may get viewed for 5 minutes, or longer. </p>

<p>@Peter:Agreed- I think an expereinced recruiter should only require a few seconds in most cases to determine if a resume is a "yes," a"maybe," or a "no'.</p>

<p>Thanks for your perspective, Kelly. I recently interviewed Evren Esen director of Survey Programs at SHRM on TotalPicture Radio. SHRM issued a press release at the Talent Management Conference in Nashville on a survey they conducted regarding resumes, cover letters and interviews. The press release headline, "Less Than Five Minutes Spent on a Single Resume, SHRM Survey Says,"and I'm thinking to myself FIVE minutes? That sounds like a lifetime. In reality, I would guess it's more like 5…</p>

I've heard a recruiter ask someone to change their LinkedIn profile picture before the hiring manager even got the resume. The candidate withdrew from the search (rightfully so). This is just 1 example of how true your post is and I'm sure there are plenty more.

<p>While I agree overall with what you are referring to image-wise, Peter, I don't really get that hung up on LI photos. I guess I've just gotten to the point that nothing really shocks me any more on that site. </p>
<p>Yes. There are some outrageously bad examples - like the fitness pose lady doing a forward kick so her crotch is front & center or the shirtless guy flexing on the beach. So tacky! </p>
<p>Anyway, I do think we all are judged on these superficial factors and agree that…</p>

<p>Anyway, I do think we all are judged on these superficial factors and agree that people should take appropriate action to make sure they present themselves in the best possible way.</p>
<p>I posted an article recently about how submitting a "flawed" resume is IMO the #1 reason for rejection. If there's issues with the best possible 1st impression that a resume is meant to show, then why shouldn't it be rejected? Not sure why so many people refuse to understand that... </p>

<p>@ Sandra: while it might be very hard to prove that a single person was/wasn't hired, if the hired people largely look one way (white, male, young), and the not-hired people largely look a different way (non-white, female, old), that's where a lot of money can change hands. I wonder what OFCCP regulations say (if anything) about pictures in resume/profiles?</p>
