  1. Staffing Exercise • Key task was to outline rationale used in determining which candidates should be continued in selection process and which should not • Memo deficient if rationale unclear • E.g., if characteristics of continued candidates were identified, but non-continued candidates shared those characteristics (or not clear how continued candidates differed from non-continued) • Statements such as ‘non-continued candidates were not qualified’ does not explain why they were found unqualified or less qualified • Same with ‘related work experience,’ ‘good work history’

  2. Staffing Exercise • More generally, can one screen resumes in meaningful way using criteria that are problematic to assess on basis of resume? • Excellent written, oral communication skills, leadership skills • One should look for specific evidence on resume that supports skills statement/profile • Computer skills • Don’t all USI business grads have computer skills? • Certain skills probably necessary boilerplate content, but may not be very useful re: screening • Visual appeal • Does this create potential for arbitrary decision making? • In fairness, some decisions may be pretty arbitrary • But be reminded, selection process should be valid (predictive of job performance) and legally defensible • Mechanics of process • Is process reliable and valid if resumes are divided amongst committee members for review?

  3. Staffing Exercise • Re: other teaching objectives, you should now have more informed perspective as to your own resume • If you deem it to be competitive, why? • If not, why not (and what can you do about that)? • May make clear role of ASBE 401 re: contributing to market-readiness • Typically, more than half of candidates make none of the short lists • Presumably most or all of candidates had done resume in ASBE 231
