How would Gingrich, Paul, Romney and Santorum fare if they were to get their CVQ Scores?

CHICAGO, Jan. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CV Quo, Inc., an organization that computes CVQ Scores for jobseekers based on their credentials and work history, was looking at the resumes of the presidential hopefuls at their campaign sites.

These resumes had very minimal information. Hence we decided to put the campaign site information made available to the public through the CVQ scoring system to see how it would translate to their CVQ Scores. After all they are seeking their next job and their past experience will be a critical success factor.

Presidential hopefuls' resumes
If we started constructing a chronological bio, there would be several years that would be unaccounted for. So we sent en email asking for a chronological resume, to the contact info listed on the campaign sites. But also taking into fact that these candidates are in the thick of their primaries, and the chances of us getting a resume back from them is slim, we leveraged information from bioguide.congress.gov and nga.org, to make sure all of their tenure, at least while holding a public office, is accounted for.

Resume ratings
We rated these resumes on the same scale by comparing them against one another. These ratings are indicative of how much information was available at their sites, at the time of writing this. Although Rick Perry had dropped out of the race, his bio had very minimal text but more information to construct a chronological resume. He would have received a rating of 6, if he had stayed in the race. Others had more text but not enough information.

Ratings on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest)
Newt Gingrich - 4
Ron Paul - 3
Mitt Romney - 3
Rick Santorum - 2

CVQ Scores
We set up four profiles taking into account the information we gathered and ran them through the CVQ scoring model. The CVQ Scores that came out are presented here for your viewing.

Newt Gingrich - 777
Ron Paul - 655
Mitt Romney - 493
Rick Santorum - 589
