The candidate should really consider the person reviewing the resume if at all possible. The church world is typically a little behind coporate america, so we're suggesting that candidate use video in addition to a written resume to set themselves apart and to make things more personal @godguru I believe being creative and unique can help, but it can also be too much (if hard to understand, the person looking at the resume may just move on).

If the spouse has a lot of trouble in some very obvious areas (gossip, anger, others) that could negatively impact the church's ministry and the effectiveness of the leader. It sounds like this was a warning being raised in this case. I guess this is just another area to discuss in the hiring process, though my church doesn't really have this issue - nobody has assistants as paid staff. We're too small for that. :) The spouse should definitely be considered at some level.

It's important to have a good understanding of expectations. You are so right - different churches have different expecations and most don't communicate them very well. Thanks for the comment!

When I recently applied for a ministry job, I asked how much my wife could be involved - but not as a paid position. Some churches really encourage it, some really want a clearly defined line about employment rules and boundaries. Personally, I don't think there is enough clarity in this area.
