Comments (email March, 2001) from Doug Holt - MSSTATE.EDU
Subject: what should job applicants include in their resumes
After having hired about 10 technicians during the last two years, here are
some suggestions that I would make. First, contact your references before
you put them down. More than once I contacted a reference to find out that
they did not know a great deal about the applicant's work experience or even
worse, had some reservations about recommending the person in question. If a
reference has some concern about a person's ability to perform, I move that
application to the bottom of the pile immediately. Secondly, I would like to
see a boatload of related experience, but that is not always possible. Like
others, I had to work my way through my undergraduate education. The chance
of finding a part time job during school in this field is very slim,
especially since you are not the only one in you major. Everybody that you
are in school with is looking for the same thing. I would suggest using all
relevant work experience and then filling out your resume with other work
that you have done as needed. After all, some technician jobs require data
entry as well as data collection and an office job while in school may equip
a person to handle data entry very well. I think the thing that impresses me
most about an applicant is their ability to work hard and learn what is
required of them. Most times this can be determined by talking to references
at jobs in fields other than wildlife. We all had little or no experience at
some point in time and somebody was willing to give us a chance and our
resumes grew from there.
As far as the recent discussion about using e-mail to check references goes,
I prefer that everybody that send me an application include e-mail addresses
and phone numbers for references. I prefer picking up the telephone to check
references. I think you get more from a conversation than an e-mail message.
However, some people are not easily reached by telephone and e-mail is an
efficient way for them to give a reference when they have a little time to
spend on it. I don't mind being called or receiving e-mail about somebody
that has included me as a reference. I think this is a function of the
amount of time that we have to spend on each task that is put before us on a
daily basis.
