Can I get some likes to DM?
Hi Fishes, I have received an offer from Barclays for AVP position. But the role discussed during interview was for Tech Delivery Manager whereas the offer letter mentions it as Tech Delivery Lead. Can you guys please suggest if it is the same role or should I request recruiter to get the role updated? Moreover it would be great if any of you can shed some light on the prospects/challenges of this role based on your experiences. Barclays Barclays global service center

I've heard recruiters say they'll scan a resume for literally seconds before deciding whether to discard it right away. But I have to assume they spend more time looking at it before scheduling an interview. But as a resume is a pretty basic recitation of one's experience, I guess it does always feel like you're starting from scratch when talking about it. If you're in an interview it's a chance to elaborate beyond what's on the written resume and really show what you've got.
I’ve noticed that too. It feels like the resume is just a quick filter, and the real evaluation happens during the interview. It definitely makes sense why every interview feels like you’re reintroducing yourself from the ground up.
On the other side of this: even when asking open ended questions 9 out of 10 candidates just regurgitate their resume. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I thoroughly review the resume before interviewing a candidate and really don’t need it read back to me. However, we have been able to catch people being untruthful on their resumes by sitting back and letting them talk.
