An obvious drawback of using résumés as a source of information is that applicants control the content of the information, as well as the way it is presented. This type of information is therefore biased in favor of the applicant and may not even be accurate. On the positive side, résumés may enable applicants to highlight accomplishments that might not show up in the format of an employment application. Review of résumés is most valid when the content of the résumés is evaluated in terms of the elements of a job description.
