Hi FirstBloggers! Great Contributions so far. I think we are off to a great start. Well I can't seem to figure out how to upload a youtube video, however when I do I will be sure to edit this post. In the mean time, if you click here, there is a video with some interesting resume related content that might be worth checking out. The presenter in this video had some suggestions that I thought were good and were beyond the scope of what was discussed in our text. For example she suggested mailing your resume in a large letter sized envelope that wouldn't require you to fold the resume. She also suggested that keeping the formatting, letter head, and page setup the same or a least cohesive on all resume documents, i.e. the cover letter, references, resume, etc. While some of these things might seem trivial or to be "nitpicking," I believe that making sure that your documents have a polished and professional appearance is extremely important and says a lot about you as a candidate for an employment position.

  1. The reason you can't embed it is because the embedding code is disabled. Look on the right side of the screen next to the YouTube video.
    It's a good clip. Thanks for the hyperlink.
    I like the comment she made, "We don't hire paper. We hire you."
