From AAHSL

Fay, please do not accept resumes from applicants. We are asking that managers wait until applicants have applied to your requisition before scheduling any type of interviews. Accepting resumes can get us into some “legal hot water.” I am not able to look at her resume, but will look for her application for you. After it is received, I will contact her.
