Resume or Refusal?

Resume or Refusal is my own personal creed or takeaway regarding a candidate resume.  A resume can be your biggest asset to getting your dream job, or can cost you a position.  I received through the grapevine today an email one of my peers received from a client.

This goes without saying that this is a nightmare for any recruiter to see in his/her inbox.  What it does show is the need for a recruiter to be an expert in recruiting, as well as an expert in the field they work in.

1.) You are responsible for your resume- Recruiter or not, you must take ownership of having a resume that is detailed, correct, spelled properly.
2.) You will pay the price if you do not have a good resume.
3.) You need to show your resume to at least two other pepole for second opinions!  (This is not an option)
4.) Expect to be questioned if there is an error.
5.) If you are a recruiter looking at someone's resume, and you do not understand a concept, or it seems wrong, ask!

Relationships are hard to form, and easy to break.  Do what you can as a recruiter, and a potential jobseeker to make sure you align your best to where you want to be!

Find the spelling error in my post, and I will give you a shout-out on twitter!  (First to find only)
