ReplyDeleteI believe that the article “The Ten Worst Things to Put on Your Resume” gives very accurate advice toward enhancing your resume. A resume defines a large part of one’s personal experience and skills on a mere document, so it is easy to make common errors when writing. One point I agree with is that a brief resume is often more appropriate. The TMI point suggests that it can be a bad idea to give a recruiter a very wordy resume. Having experience working in a recruiting department, I know that recruiters often highlight through resumes and scan for the important information. This also agrees with the suggestion to leave out information about past jobs that will not advance you in your future work goals.

Although technology continues to advance on a regular basis, I still believe a resume should be given to recruiters as a hard copy in addition to an email. If everything was to go paperless, the sense of face-to-face communication would soon be lost. Also, a physical resume at a job fair and even interview seems to be essential in order to refer back to during that meeting. The main positive aspect of recruiting through social networks like LinkedIn is that it is a fast source to search a candidate of employment. According to this article, social networks like Facebook and Twitter are also being used as a recruiting tool. But, I feel like if companies are using those websites as a negative source then it becomes an invasion of privacy. I don’t agree that such websites should associate closely with employment. In conclusion, I believe that the resume should remain a versatile form of recruitment to any job and should remain to be exchanged as a hard copy as well.
