About - River City Staffing Group, Inc.

Overall Feedback:

I went online to apply at River City Staffing. The website wanted candidates to upload their resume. I called River City Staffing to find out if they were looking for a resume that they would use to screen me, or if they were looking for a resume that could be forwarded to employers. The recruiter told me they were looking for a resume that contained my work history. I got the recruiter's name and email address.I sent her a cover letter explaining that I'd been out of the corporate world for a number of years and I attached a paragraph style resume that highlighted my office skills, had my most pertinent info on the first page and my work history on the second page. The recruiter replied via email that she hadn't read my resume because it was "unclear" and she was "confused" by the paragraph style. She told me we could discuss employment opportunities only after I rewrote my resume to conform to a bullet style template which she sent as an attachment.I called the recruiter because I wasn't sure how to make my resume conform to the template. The recruiter was very condescending when she explained that a resume "must" be bulleted and in chronological order. I responded that my most pertinent work experience was not my most recent employment, and that I'd written my resume in a way that emphasized my most pertinent experience, but I did include my work history so she had a sense of the kinds of work I've done. The recruiter insisted that I use her template. I said I didn't think we'd be a good fit.In the mean time, I landed a job with another agency using the resume rejected by River City Staffing. When I asked the other recruiter if he would like me to revise my resume, he said my resume was fine. (This conversation occurred before the exchange with RCS.)
