My Resume Is A Living, Breathing Document

Connecting Employers with Candidates, and Candidates with Job Opportunities in Logistics!

Pinto Employment Search LLC is a national logistics and transportation staffing agency with over 25 years of logistics employment and recruitment experiences. We specialize in all levels of recruitment and for over 13 years, our team has been handling permanent, full-time placements on a nationwide basis. We also offer contract staffing for companies who need temporary employees.

Our team has years of experience as both a logistics job candidate and employment partner, so we understand the necessity to hire capable and qualified employees. This can be hard to accomplish though, when employers have hundreds of resumes to weed through – especially when general recruiter companies and websites do not understand the unique complexities of the logistics and transportation industries. To resolve this issue, we work together with our clients to develop an understanding of their goals for their available position(s) and in turn, we represent their organization enthusiastically and respectfully.

By doing so, we review resumes, screen applicants, coordinate interviews and offers, and provide guidance to both employers and candidates throughout each step of the recruitment process.

Certain dates are unchangeable: birth dates, wedding dates, death dates (sorry!). The start date was a specific day, as was the end date. No gray area here.

Titles are also pretty firm. President, Accountant, King. Pretty obvious what each role entails.

Yet we continue to see discrepancies such as this:

Old Resume: Granny Annie Logistics Inc., Manager, Customer Service, January 2000 – August 2002 / Peyton Grace Consolidators LLC., Supervisor, November 2002 – January 2003

New Resume: Granny Annie Logistics Inc., Manager, Customer Service, January 2000 – January 2003 (no mention of Peyton Grace Consolidators)

Or:

Old Resume: Export Coordinator, May 2013 –May 2014, Export Manager, May 2014 – Present

New Resume: Export Manager, May 2013 – Present (Made yourself manager for a year longer than you were)

Why do we fudge titles and dates of employment on a resume? Because we’re trying to hide something. It may look good on paper, but the gesture may backfire.

Here are a few ways companies find out:

the new resume doesn’t match one previously submitted (assume wherever you submit keeps database records!)
the resume doesn’t match the candidate’s LinkedIn profile (assume it’s going to be viewed!)
people get accidentally “outed” by a mutual acquaintance, especially in a niche industry (assume six degrees of separation!)

The risk you take is that the company or recruiter thinks you’re trying to get one over on them. Remember, this precious document is the first impression people get of you as a worker. Companies are a lot more understanding and sympathetic than they’re given credit for, so I would err on the side of honesty and a good explanation.
