The Super Resume is superior in presenting job seekers' Inspiration
& Drive through; career objective, job field wanted, target industry
wanted. Better in presenting Talent through; strength, interests and
hobbies. Better in presenting Attitude through; the relation of education,
activities, part-time employment, full-time working experience vs.
strengths and interest and hobbies.
The Super Resume will improve the recruitment process. The HR executive
will save time and costs in screening as the Super Resume will normally
be in one-page. The screening process will not overwhelm with information,
there is still need for the interview selection. Imagine the resumes
come from hundreds and thousands of candidates, if we cannot control
the quanity of information, the screening process is not efficient.
Moreover, the new technique in presenting Strength and Interests and
Hobbies portions will provide much better information to select the
right persons for interview session.
The Super Resume is the new way of managing and improving information
of the current resume. |
| 1)
|
Normally,
a resume comes in one report for total recruitment process. However,
the Super Resume is divided into two groups of information that will
be used for different purposes as to the different recruitment process;
a) Super Resume main information is used to apply for job for an interview
session, b) Super Resume attachment is used for final hiring. Generally,
a resume comes as a total report which causes an overload of information
especially the information that is not necessary for the process of
selection for an interview. Super Resume helps to solve this problem
by designing the process into two steps. |

The multiple choice in Super Resume is a new multiple choices technique
that is used to improve the interpretation of the information. Normally,
multiple choice is used with the purpose of finding the right answer
which we usually find in the test or exam such as "The sun starts
to rise from a) North, or b) South, or c) East, or d) West. Or used
with the purpose of facilitation by providing the answer which we
normally find in the case of completing forms such as "how is
your English; a) good, b) fair, c) poor. Some multiple choice can
have more than one answer such as "what colors do you like? a)
Yellow, or b) Red, or c) Green. The above two purposes and three examples
are all trying to find out the right answer that is/are chosen. And
they are not looking to the answers that are not chosen. However;
in Super Resume, our multiple choice is designed with the purpose
of trying to interpret the information that are not chosen beside
the information that are chosen. The Super Resume is design to interpret
another side of the coin. For example; |
|
a)
|
In the Super Resume, choosing 5 strengths out of 74, can imply that
the unchosen 69 strengths are the list of weakness, or list of strengths
that the job seekers might not have. If a person chooses 1) Friendly,
2) Pleasant personality, 3) Service minded, 4) Good at heart, and
5) patient, he/she can be a good salesperson. And the special
design list of multiple choice allows us to define the scope of strength
to work with. It allows us to treat the unchosen list of strengths
such as Analytical, Organized/Systematic, Strategic thinking, Able
to delegate responsibilities, as weaknesses and leads us to the interpretation
that that person may not be good in a management position.
However; the human resource executive must not judge the candidate
right away but re-check/reconfirm during the two ways communication
in the interview session. |
|
b)
|
Another
example is in the Interest and Hobbies section, the multiple choice
is designed to get the answer that are chosen, and at the same time,
the list of the multiple choice design the scope of Interests and
Hobbies to work with. Therefore; the purpose is also emphasis on the
choice that are not chosen in order to be able to make further interpretation.
If a person chooses swimming as his/her only interest and hobbies,
we are certain that he/she has gone through the list of Interests
and Hobbies and intentionally not chosen other choice, this is to
define the scope of choosing and not choosing. Therefore, we might
interpret more about that person in the way that he/she might not
be comfortable to play, like a team-works such as basketball, football,
volleyball. Or that person might not be comfortable with adventure
or taking risk as he/she does not choose any outdoor adventure such
as Scuba Diving, Sailing, Mountain Biking etc. The human resource
department then has information to access more, or re-check for further
clarification in case of doubt during the two way communication in
the interview session. |

To
limit information is another tool of managing the information. There
has not been any technique of limiting the information in a general
digital resume. It just like a cooking recipe, the right one should
be no more or no less on the ingredients. Otherwise, it will not come
out delicious. In the Super Resume, because the one-page resume is
essential, precise and limited information is a must. The Super Resume
will not allow a candidate to give more than two steps of his latest
educational background. It does not allow one to give more than one
history of school/university activity. One is also not allowed to
give more than two records of part-time jobs, or more than two records
of full-time jobs. And giving more than two personal references is
not permitted. One is not allowed to choose more than or less than
5 strengths, or to rank more than 5 interests and hobbies. Overall,
giving more than 255 characters in the additional information section
is not allowed.

Ranking
information is also important in information management. As in many
sections of the Super Resume, the ranking techniquehas proved to really
improve the quality of the information. Such as Ranking of the Strength
section, Ranking of the Interest and Hobbies section, Ranking of the
Job Field Wanted section, and Ranking of the Industry Wanted section
etc. |
