Pro tip: put your vax status on your resume
Hiring managers deleting applications without this information.

Putting your COVID-19 vaccine status on your resume could make it easier for you to get a job interview, a new survey has found.

Hiring managers in the US have already begun prioritising vaccinated job applicants with 63 per cent of those surveyed by ResumeBuilder saying they prefer to see a candidate’s vaccination status written on their resume.

When asked if they would rule out applications from people who didn’t say if they were vaccinated against COVID-19, one-third of respondents said yes, they would automatically filter out those resumes.

Career coach Carolyn Kleinman said hiring managers needed to be aware that such practices could limit their companies’ ability to find the right staff.

COVID-19 vax status on resumes? Some hiring managers say they toss resumes that don’t have it
Previous work history: Check. Skills and abilities: Check. Vaccination status?

A new survey from ResumeBuilder.com finds more than two-thirds of hiring managers say they are more likely to hire someone who has been vaccinated against COVID-19 — and about a third say they will automatically toss out resumes that don’t include an applicant’s vaccination status.

Overall, about 33% of hiring managers said they will eliminate applicants who don’t include a vaccination status when submitting a resume. Another 32% of hiring managers said they won’t automatically toss resumes without a status listed but said vaccinated applicants are given priority. Another 35% of hiring managers said they don’t automatically eliminate resumes without a vaccination status.

1. Let the howlers howl. This is how employers take control of the function of their businesses

2. I don't specifically care about seeing it on the candidate's resume, but...

All of my job postings are now including the disclaimer that we are a vaccine mandate company and all employees must either be vaccinated or produce a doctor's note with proof of a medical condition that precludes vaccination. (I've got two employees with immune deficiency issues so they qualify for the exemption.)

We're serious about this. I terminated one person for refusing to comply with mask and testing measures and another employee resigned rather than get the vaccine. No jab, no job.

3. Career coach Carolyn Kleinman Should Shutup

Hiring managers review multiple resumes for every open position.
They're not going to whiff that often by setting aside those that don't mention being vaxxed.
She may be a career coach (whatever that is) but she clearly doesn't know what she thinks she does.
