Resume Review
Not what you're looking for?
In order to mimic the average time a hiring manager spends on a resume, look at each of the following resumes for about 30 seconds and write down your first thoughts.

Make sure to view the resumes in print preview mode, otherwise you will not be able to comment effectively on the resumes formatting.

Please note that the personal information such as addresses and phone numbers have been replaced with fictitious information. This fake information in the resume is not something that makes the resume bad, it has just been changed.
