Job search tip

Just back from a luncheon meeting where an employer gave a great job search tip. His company recently advertised a job opportunity and received 500 email/electronic applications. (You read that right -- 500.) They also received 7 (seven) hard copy resumes. "Those were the ones I looked at--the resumes printed on good quality resume paper", the employer said. "The rest of the applications are in an electronic inbox somewhere."

Those seven candidates made the extra effort to stand out -- positively -- from "the crowd". And, it served them well. ~ jan
