Faculty members of the Counselor Education Department at Auburn University were asked to complete the Job Résumé Questionnaire (Feild & Holley, 1976). Comparisons of responses were made between faculty and a control and experimental group. The experimental group was given data on faculty opinion and asked to construct a résumé. The control group was given no data but completed the questionnaire. Correlation coefficients yielded low positive relationships between faculty and student responses to the questionnaire. A higher positive relationship existed, however, between faculty responses to the questionnaire and actual items appearing on the résumés constructed by the experimental group.
