A phone interview, to discuss your resume? Software QA/Test Engineer Resume

   ROB DAVIS, P.E.

Q25: To discuss your resume, can you schedule a longer (30 minute) phone interview with one of my assistants?

The short answer is, no, I'm unable to schedule it.

The long answer is, I am sorry but there are not enough hours in the day. I'm unable to give 30-60 minutes of my time, for 'free', to everyone who has a telephone and wants to talk for 'hours' at a time.

I want to work with brokers who are able to glean enough information from my (QA) resume and a 5-10 minute phone interview to do an effective job match. I want to work with agents who are able to assess my skills on their own, during a 5-10 minute phone call. If they have to rely on some test or assistant to tell them what to tell the client, they shouldn't be representing me. Time is my most valuable commodity. Please do not waste it.

Does this test include computer-based tests? Absolutely. If the agent has to rely on some computer-based test to tell them what to tell the client, they shouldn't be representing me. Time is my most valuable commodity. Please do not waste it.

Real recruiters do not play games with my time, life and paycheck. Real recruiters do not try to convince me to stay on the phone for more than 10 minutes. Real recruiters want 5-10 minute phone interviews, not 30+ minute computer-based tests. Real recruiters want a mutual exchange of information, not a one-sided conversation, and not a one-sided computer-based performance.
