Make sure no one reads your resume

Here's a brilliant (sarcastic) post to a Canadian recruiting firm blog. The author lists seven ways to make sure that no one EVER reads your resume.

While this is written from the perspective of a professional recruiter -- and therefore has a bit of an "inside baseball" flavor -- it's possible to take away the salient points.

Allow me to translate from recruiter - speak:
1. Target your resume and correspondence to the people who can help you.
2. Use the "blind copy" function in group email. Everyone wants to feel special.
3. Make sure address a specific individual.
4. Please do basic research on the web. It's a sign of respect.
5. Write a brief note before attaching your resume.
6. Avoid self-deprecating comments in your communication.
7. Send the documents in MS Word or pdf format.

Now that you have the key, please check out the original here
