I'm curious about how you all decide which candidates to select for an interview or a preliminary exam. As a hiring manager, it can be tough to sift through all the resumes and applications to figure out who might be a good fit.

What criteria or strategies do you use to make these decisions?

It’s something you learn how to review resumes over time after reviewing so many and speaking with them. When I first started out, it was trial and error so I had to put time in to speak with candidates to understand their background. By having so many calls I learned what to pick out. Now it’s just a gut feeling.

I would start with a few must haves in terms of skills, experience, or education. From there what responsibilities they had - did they do a lot of work/spearheading or more of support and assisting. I usually take it from there and see what else stands out to me in their resume, or concerns I have so I can ask during my initial call

Sifting through resumes are what recruiters are for.

Yea or that lol. But usually AI just filters people who meet the minimum qualifications like level of education and years of experience. Once it’s filtered by AI, a human needs to comb through that list and determine who they are going to call for an interview.

Agreed with Manager. Will gladly do that for you since I need a job 😂

I'm curious how you assess work ethics in an interview. A person can look great on paper, speak well in the interview and lack basic understanding that work is priority at work. Just curious.

Interesting. I was told by HR that my work ethic was too high and not similar to the other managers at my organization. I was only expecting the basic requirements listed on the job application nothing more.
Leadership is weird!

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected. I cannot get an interview to save my life. I was so excited to get an externship summer after 2L with a small business and IP firm only to get yelled at on the phone a few times for not doing an assignment correctly. Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car. But the next day, reporters asked the guy who called the cops about it and he said he had no idea what the hand sign meant, he actually called the cops because the kidnapped girl kept mouthing “Help me.” I’ve heard of agencies exaggerating sales results or click through rates in case studies, I really hope JP/TBWA isn’t exaggerating about, literally, saving someone’s life.
