  • I remember this one time, I was giving a brief summary of my career history. And the interviewer cut me off and said "That stuff is already in your resumé, tell me about your interests." I thought his manner was a bit rude. Commented Sep 10, 2010 at 8:33
  • Yep, you should never assume that the interviewer has read your resume. They have probably read your name and phone number. They MAY have read other parts. But don't assume that. Commented Jan 27, 2012 at 19:54
  • It could be a bad sign if the main interviewer really hasn't read your resume. Maybe you don't want the job. Could be they will always be rushed and won't read your requirements docs, emails... Commented Jan 28, 2012 at 8:52
  • @MarkJ - that's a good point. However, depending on the size of the organization, that person might not be directly working with you. I completely agree that if that is going to be a close team member / someone you would be reporting to, that would be something to bear in mind. Commented Jan 29, 2012 at 19:06
