Playlists to review resumes to


Reviewing resumes is a pain. After looking through hundreds of resumes in a sitting, your eyes start to glaze over, the words become a jumble of text, and you start thinking, “you know, resume is a really weird word… resume, resume, resume…“

‍

To make good hiring decisions, you have to be in a positive headspace. In this context, a positive mindset doesn’t mean that you have to enjoy filtering through resumes — you just have to focus on the reasons to say “yes” to an application, rather than saying “no”.

‍

We’re no psychologists, but after reviewing 50,000+ resumes, we’ve found that it’s much easier to maintain that mindset during tedious tasks if you have a rad playlist.

‍

We’ve compiled 14 playlists for reviewing resumes — everything from country to hyperpop. A la the Pomodoro Technique, they’re roughly 30 minutes each, which should hit that sweet spot between staying productive and not getting distracted.

‍

Here's what we recommend:

‍

  1. Pull up your list of resumes
  2. Choose your playlist
  3. Turn off Autoplay
  4. Hit play, and start reviewing resumes
  5. When the playlist is finished, take a break! Stretch, hydrate, walk your dog, etc.
  6. Repeat as needed
