This research found 1). that personal attributes resumes are not universally more effective, but 2). where they provide relevant information not given in the traditional resume they are more effective, and 3.) resumes designed to improve initial and final impressions did not increase effectiveness. Results were discussed in terms of schemas and the social cognitive issue of the relationship between impressions of people and decisions about them. Applications to career changers were discussed along with suggestions for future research.application/pdfenThis item is protected by copyright but is made available here under a claim of fair use (17 U.S.C.
