HR putzes don’t read resumes these days. They filter them for keywords.

“HR putzes don’t read resumes these days. They filter them for keywords.”

I don’t let HR use their Taleo product to filter resumes for me. If I am posting a position, I ask for every resume, even if there are 100 of them for one position.

Here are my simple rules:

1- Be truthful. If you are not, I will know and play “stump the chump” with you.
2- Spell every word correctly. DON’T use spellcheck. Confusing “There and Their” will eliminate you from contention.
3- And finally, your resume is a reflection of you. Make every word count. If you write a sentence that is 25-30 words, see how you can cut it to 15-20. Use the real estate on the page wisely.

Yep, that too.
