I am not sure about exactly how I want this blog to develop and what my final goals are, but this is what I do know.
I am a Middle Manager in the Field of Accounting and I have read thousands of resumes in the past seven years following my first promotion into Management. I have interviewed hundreds of candidates. I have hired dozens and have unfortunately fired a handful.
My jaw used to drop in shock over the blatant errors that I found in resumes. Usually now I just laugh. For the past year, I have taken the best of the worst and used snippets to educate and entertain my friends on Facebook. At this time, I'm finding so many unbelievably bad and shocking errors through the resume, contact, interview and follow up process that I wanted to take this to another level.
I want to entertain you with what I find in real every day resumes. That is a fact. However, my ultimate goal is to educate you. I want you to be employed gainfully every day of your life. I am the Middle Manager that stands between you and the door, so please allow me to help you get your foot in. There is absolutely no excuse for spelling, printing or grammatical errors in your cover letter, resume and continuing communication with a potential employer. None. Did you hear me? I said NONE.
Parents continually whine, "My son graduated with a Degree in Accounting last year and can't find a job so he's working as a janitor to pay the bills since the economy is so bad." I am here to tell you that there IS a job for your son. Your son has one of three problems (or all three in some cases). He is lazy, he is dellusional and/or he is stupid. This is a fact and if you send me his resume and allow me to interview him, I can prove it.
All that being said, let's go! I have so much to share with and teach you. I have every intention of making this blog pretty and updating it frequently, but that will have to wait because lunch is over and I have to get back to reading your resumes!
