“…There are three basic principles of phenomenology: first, knowledge is found in direct experience; second, meaning of something is dependent upon how a person has interacted with it in his or her own life; and third, language provides meaning to the experience (Craig, 1999). From a communication perspective, phenomenological problems and studies are often conducted using qualitative methods, potentially filling a gap within existing resume literature (DiMarco & Fasos, 2019; Risavy, 2017). Phenomenology is based on an individual’s personal experience; therefore, there is not one true meaning as a post-positivist attempts to measure, but instead, there are multiple meanings, which makes phenomenology more interpretive in nature.…”

“…However, there is limited theory-based research within the resume genre. Risavy (2017) notes that most studies on resumes do not test theories and advises more theory-based research to explore the genre, with possible topics ranging from how resume screeners make decisions on which candidates to interview to how applicants should write their resumes. Further, resume content is not specifically isolated and explored as the variable of interest.…”

While there is no lack of peer-reviewed publications that focus on resumes, there is a lack of theory-based research in the genre. Most studies on resumes report observations rather than test theories to predict screener behaviors, and recent calls to action have advocated for more theory-based resume research. This paper answers the call and offers ways in which scholars can introduce theory into the existing body of knowledge in the resume genre by exploring research questions guided by the various philosophical foundations of the communication discipline. Future resume research should reference Craig’s constitutive metamodel that offers more than 250 communication theories into seven philosophical foundations: semiotic, phenomenological, cybernetic, sociopsychological, sociocultural, critical, and rhetorical when designing studies. Exploring resume research questions based on communication theory enables scholars to use an applied research perspective across disciplinary boundaries and advance knowledge of resumes, a key component of organizational entry. This paper opens the door for scholars to contribute to this large and important question of organizational entry by outlining resume research questions that can be explored within each of the theoretical foundations of the communication discipline.

“…Akan tetapi, materi mengenai penulisan CV terlebih dalam bahasa Inggris jarang diajarkan di sekolah maupun perguruan tinggi. Menurut Risavy (2017), tidak banyak sumber referensi akademik yang dapat digunakan sebagai acuan dalam penulisan CV berbahasa Inggris dan sumber yang ada biasanya telah ketinggalan zaman. Hal ini mungkin menjadi alasan mengapa penulisan CV jarang dimasukkan ke dalam kurikulum baik di sekolah menengah maupun tingkat perguruan tinggi.…”

Menulis CV dalam bahasa Inggris mungkin merupakan hal yang mudah dilakukan jika kita memiliki kemampuan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggris. Apalagi di era sekarang ini, mengakses contoh CV dari internet merupakan hal yang sangat mudah. Namun, pekerjaan sederhana ini mungkin rumit bagi sebagian orang karena mereka tidak tahu harus mulai dari mana dalam proses penulisan CV ini. Oleh karena itu, Tim Pengabdian Masyarakat dari Jurusan Ilmu Komunikasi Kalbis Institute mencoba mengisi celah tersebut dengan melakukan pengabdian masyarakat dalam penulisan CV dengan bekerjasama dengan Sekolah Bahasa Online. Sekolah Bahasa Online adalah salah satu penyelenggara kursus bahasa online di Indonesia. Muridmuridnya berasal dari berbagai daerah di Indonesia dan dunia. Setelah melakukan survei mini terhadap siswa Sekolah Bahasa Online dan pengikut media sosial, kami memutuskan untuk mengadakan pelatihan penulisan CV dalam bahasa Inggris. Selama pelatihan, para peserta belajar bagaimana menulis CV yang baik dan komponen-komponen CV yang baik, serta mengintegrasikan kemampuan bahasa mereka ke dalam CV. Pada akhirnya, para peserta diharapkan untuk melengkapi CV dan tim keluar akan memberikan umpan balik pada CV mereka. Dengan demikian, kami berasumsi bahwa mereka akan dapat membuat CV mereka sendiri secara mandiri.

“…Recruiters need resumes mapping the skillsets required by the vacancy in the particular department (Jannach et al , 2010). (14) While a resume is a key and essential part in securing an interview by an external candidate, at the internal level, self-appraisal forms are used to describe achievements and the limitations of an employee and both together guide the task allocation (Risavy, 2017). The human resource management trend observed in 2017 was studied (Bhatia, 2017), and it reflects that employee retention is a problem for 57 per cent of organizations because of unsatisfied internal task allocation.…”

Purpose Text mining is growing in importance proportionate to the growth of unstructured data and its applications are increasing day by day from knowledge management to social media analysis. Mapping skillset of a candidate and requirements of job profile is crucial for conducting new recruitment as well as for performing internal task allocation in the organization. The automation in the process of selecting the candidates is essential to avoid bias or subjectivity, which may occur while shuffling through thousands of resumes and other informative documents. The system takes skillset in the form of documents to build the semantic space and then takes appraisals or resumes as input and suggests the persons appropriate to complete a task or job position and employees needing additional training. The purpose of this study is to extend the term-document matrix and achieve refined clusters to produce an improved recommendation. The study also focuses on achieving consistency in cluster quality in spite of increasing size of data set, to solve scalability issues. Design/methodology/approach In this study, a synset-based document matrix construction method is proposed where semantically similar terms are grouped to reduce the dimension curse. An automated Task Recommendation System is proposed comprising synset-based feature extraction, iterative semantic clustering and mapping based on semantic similarity. Findings The first step in knowledge extraction from the unstructured textual data is converting it into structured form either as Term frequency–Inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) matrix or synset-based TF-IDF. Once in structured form, a range of mining algorithms from classification to clustering can be applied. The algorithm gives a better feature vector representation and improved cluster quality. The synset-based grouping and feature extraction for resume data optimizes the candidate selection process by reducing entropy and error and by improving precision and scalability. Research limitations/implications The productivity of any organization gets enhanced by assigning tasks to employees with a right set of skills. Efficient recruitment and task allocation can not only improve productivity but also cater to satisfy employee aspiration and identifying training requirements. Practical implications Industries can use the approach to support different processes related to human resource management such as promotions, recruitment and training and, thus, manage the talent pool. Social implications The task recommender system creates knowledge by following the steps of the knowledge management cycle and this methodology can be adopted in other similar knowledge management applications. Originality/value The efficacy of the proposed approach and its enhancement is validated by carrying out experiments on the benchmarked dataset of resumes. The results are compared with existing techniques and show refined clusters. That is Absolute error is reduced by 30 per cent, precision is increased by 20 per cent and dimensions are lowered by 60 per cent than existing technique. Also, the proposed approach solves issue of scalability by producing improved recommendation for 1,000 resumes with reduced entropy.
