Comments on: How NOT to Post Your Resume on Craigslist http://www.therecruiterslounge.com/2009/07/03/how-not-to-post-your-resume-on-craigslist/ Exploring the wacky world of employment Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:57:35 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=8421 By: Meri http://www.therecruiterslounge.com/2009/07/03/how-not-to-post-your-resume-on-craigslist/comment-page-1/#comment-10603 Meri Wed, 08 Jul 2009 18:43:51 +0000 http://www.therecruiterslounge.com/?p=3957#comment-10603 I could not resist. Overall, some great tips. However, This article included a lesson on the importance of checking spelling and grammar. While I don't profess to be an expert, I did find an error that I see quite often. The example number six read "Bad headline #6: “(school name) grad need job, any job…now!!” ... My suggestion: Something like “(school name) BBA – Marketing with Online Marketing focus seeks to grow your company’s market share” or “(School name) BBA – Marketing seeks market analysis opportunity to help you find new markets” I believe the word "company's" in "company's market share" should read "companys". The apostophe is used in a contraction such as "company is" and not in the possessive form. Again, I am not an expert, so please forgive any errors in my comment. :-) I could not resist.

A good interviewer will look upon an applicant as a potential asset and as such will compare the return that potential asset will deliver VS other uses for the resources available. A resume with solid, supportable and quantifiable accomplishments will provide an indication of the value that you would bring to the organization. Unless your resume provides the content in support of your candidacy not only will you not get the interview but will face months of frustration in trying to get in the door for an interview. The discipline required to develop the quantified accomplishments will also provide solid content for the interview and will differentiate you from most other candidates that have no idea how to build the value necessary to close the sale.
