Something that pisses me off is when interviewers don’t read your resume ahead of time. Interview had no idea where I lived or what I did.

Alternate view: if your 1 minute elevator pitch can’t communicate your resume succinctly, then you as an interviewee haven’t done the basic prep, are a bad communicator, or both.

A large majority of hiring managers are not visionary leaders. If they were, they'd invest time and effort in the recruiting process.

Does it really matter though? You're going to walk them through it and tell the story in a more enlightened way. If that captures their interest, then they can reference your resume with more details.

The tell me about yourself is the easy conversation opener. You want them to take that out and what? Grill you on details of your resume?

Sorry, but my expectation is that the recruiter/HR screen the resume beforehand. For most everyone else, interviewing is not even 1% of their job description. I vaguely care what's on your resume. I care if YOU can speak to what's on your resume. I care if you're interest and articulate. I care if you're prepared. I care if you fit in with the culture. The thing I care least about? Whether you (and maybe others) crafted a good resume thinking about what details to put in there and the best descriptors...

If it makes you feel better, on the days where I just didn't have time to take away from the $XX+ billable quarter hour, I will set aside the first 5 mins of the interview and say that it is designated resume review time. Interview actually starts 5 mins later and you can watch me read your resume and critique the wording since I'm forced to go through it.

I’d rather hear the highlights real time instead of through a carefully designed and iterated upon document. Honestly a good chunk of folks don’t even have resumes as they were recruited from LinkedIn.

Your resume got you the interview. By the time you're sitting in a room with me I want to talk to you not your resume. That said I might give it a glance just so I have a sense of who I'm talking to. For case interviews I purposely do not read resumes because I don't want to be predisposed to expect something from you that you then don't give me.

Not trying to act like a tough guy {not even sure where you're getting that from}. I'm trying to act like a guy who wants to hear the candidate tell me their story.

I interviewed with one organization where resumes were not shared beforehand to reduce unconscious bias going into interviews. I kind of liked it actually. But I think it depends on the tone of the conversation

Then isn't THAT you're real complaint? They were a clueless interviewer. Reading your resume would have just made them a well read clueless interviewer 😁

Not reading your resume beforehand can help them to eliminate bias, which can be very important depending on the type of interview (eg. case or technical interview)

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
