    This conversation highlights this important fact: In large organizations like Amazon, the partnership between Talent Acquisition (TA) and Hiring Managers is integral for managing the high volume of requisitions and applicants effectively. While a Hiring Manager might occasionally send a resume directly to a recruiter, in-house teams typically maintain their structured processes to ensure consistency and efficiency.

    Is the summary necessary if you also have a cover letter?

    • @CareerSuccessSecrets
      @CareerSuccessSecrets 5 років тому

      TY for your question. Yes, the summary is necessary despite the cover letter because the cover letter often gets thrown away or deleted after the initial read. The resume is re-visited again and again until you are either hired or not selected. The only exception to not having a summary & being safe would be if your past 2 job titles & industries matched up perfectly with the job applying for, which almost never happens.

    In the thousands of people I've worked with, I've never heard this. Were you prepared for the interview? Did you nail it? I find it hard to believe that that the interviewer didn't think you were taking it seriously just because you smiled a lot. You are far more likely to give a negative first impression from not smiling than smiling. I'd suggest that you work with a coach. Otherwise you have to wait until you have more data that agrees with the one outlier. The guy could have been having a bad day. It could be an unfriendly place to work. Before you focus on smiling less, practice improving your interviewing. If you are well prepared, I think your naysayer disappears.

  • @johnhillescobar

    In one occasion an interviewer told me that I didn't look serious just because I smiled too much. Smiling is an habit I got from my hometown. Everyone smiles there when communicating to others. My question is: how would you find out when it is enough in regards to smiling?
