Medical credentials probably should be checked more than a draftsman,
secretary or shipper, but the resume tells little of a person's character or
real ability. I've had a few great looking resumes and god references, but
they turned out to be terrible in actual real life work. One of my best
hires gives a terrible resume and mediocre interview skills, but he is top
notch at what he does. Been with us 10 years now.
