Angry hi

I don't want to restart PlayPod that often. Ten minutes is not enough to evaluate the product.

These tips are really useful. However, its tough to remember all of them....At least, it was for me in the earlier stages of my professional career....

Default A poor resume is #1

#1 reason is because of lack of information on the resume. The one page resume is a myth, and you should put more information. Most recruiers will scan a resume for keywords, and if they are not there, no call.

The other reason is because people go through a third party. I just wanted to pass along a great new job board called Hreyesonly.com. It is for direct employers only, and only 4 weeks old. It got me a job, and I wanted to share. Thank you for all your help, and keep up the good work.

Default Resume

I agree Resume should show more at times.. but more importantly, the candidate should be able to speak fluently on his or her experience, skill sets, etc.

Never make up anything on the resume you cannot back-up. Honesty is always the best policy but I know some job applicants out do 'bend the truth' from time to time. I am not advocating it, but if you are going to do it, at least be prepare to talk intelligently about it... I've seen a few ridiculous applicants who are trying to BS their way with no knowledge of what they are talking about... its funny in the beginning, but now.. I usually show them the door within 5 mins.
