I have my resume up for a reason when it is either attached to my profile or requested when I apply. At no point in time should there be a SECONDARY application to fill in blanks, concerns, etc. when ALL that should be reserved for the interview.
“What makes me a good candidate?” I'll tell you during the interview if my generic resume blurb didn't perk up your ears.
“What skills do you possess that make me a good fit?” I'll tell you all that during the interview since, obviously, SOMETHING I said on my cover letter got your attention enough to meet me in person.
…and on and on.
I had an interview with this small organization recently and it was through an employment website where you can put your professional stuff up for employers to see. 99% of the time, they see it, schedule me for an interview and that is IT. If they want me to bring something, I do, but responsible, competent employers have your resume at the ready and never ask for more information until the interview where they field you with questions where it is YOUR job to ease any concerns or buuld yourself up. So, anyway, this is the other 1%. I was asked a SECOND TIME to provide nearly all the info on my resume almost down to a “T” and I was like “ah, shit, here we go again!” So, interview rolls around, I show up 15 minutes early and wait. Five minutes later, someone walks out asking if I had gotten an email about printing out a resume or anything to which I said no. I then get a PACKET to fill out like I never applied for the position; this infuriated me. I stared at it a minute and decided I had had enough giving it back to the secretary telling her that I was withdrawing because they have all my information and it is the THIRD TIME I've had to do this song and dance and walked out.
Don't let employers waste your time and if you sense that you're being jerked around, walk away immediately because it'll probably only get worse.
