Susan –

Thanks! Always happy to see you here. We tend to forget, we all have “stuff” happening. A little more consideration of that stuff, on both sides of the process, would serve everyone well.

Excellent post, Dawn, as usual! This is such an issue for so many of us. We get down in our trench (work), focused on our deadlines, our goals, our needs, and forget that the whole rest of the world has the same kind of focus, but on THEIR work, deadlines, goals, etc.

Thanks!

Chandlee –

Wow. Thank you!

I was a recruiter for awhile too. My favorite emails were the ones with just a resume attached, nothing in the body of the email. No cover letter. Nothing. They expected me to open the resume. Read it. And figure out to which of my 20+ open job orders they were responding. Oh yeah. I did that. LOL.

So frequently a resume is “confused” with a career autobiography, rather than a sales and marketing document. You gotta know what your buyer is buying before you can sell it to them and also have to remember (as Rosa Vargas @resumeservice) tells me: You can’t sell hot dogs to vegetarians. Focus is key.

Thanks for you kind, kind words and commenting!

I love this post, Dawn. It’s up there with my list of all time favorite blog posts ever written by a career blogger.

In a former life, I worked as a recruiter. I can’t tell you how true your words ring–thank you for sharing, and what a great perspective!

Yet another fantastic article Dawn. In today’s “me” centric world, I wonder sometimes if our advice falls on deaf ears. I once received a resume from a client filled with intricate engineering diagrams of patents he produced—when he was actually applying for a job as a hotel manager! Unfortunately for jobseekers forcing their ideas on someone regardless of what he or she thinks seems to be the current trend right now! My would-be client was of the same opinion—”This is all about me and this is what I want to say” instead of thinking about what the employer wanted to hear!
