Here are some findings of Pew Research Center’s Global Attitude Project ( in association with the International Herald Tribune – July 2010 ) :

 There is a pronounced gap between a belief in the equality of the sexes and how that translates into reality.

 In China, India, Indonesia and Jordan, equal-rights supporters think, most of the adjustments necessary to establish equality have already been made.

 In nations ( Europe / USA ) where equal rights are already mandated, women seem stymied by a lack of real progress.

 More than 50% in 10 of 22 countries said that when jobs are scarce, they should go to men.

Surely they have not read the survey conducted by Psychology Professor Keith Laws ( University of Hertfordshire ), which found that girls are better than boys when it comes to multi-tasking !

May be my 2 unemployed grand-daughters have still some hope !

But Before sending that well-written resume to a recruiter, can a jobseeker figure-out in advance what would happen if that resume  gets " rated / ranked / scored " by recruiter ?  gets compared automatically with resumes of other applicants ? Will she get an interview-call ? To know what is likely to happen , she has to just type "Resume Rater" in Google / Yahoo / Bing , and download this software tool ( free and without even login ) from any of the 35+ websites. Then rate her resume. Resume Rater mimics the " resume-evaluation " process of recruiters’ minds but does it in an unbiased / objective way. Resume Rater is absolutely non – discriminatory.
