1. Include a -brief- description of your responsibilities at each job. We want to see evidence you actually use those skills you've listed.
2. Give a one-liner on the company. Please don't assume the whole wold knows what Acme Corporation does. You may give a great description of your experience as a Quality Analyst for Acme, but neglect to say what they make. That means I have to call you and "bother" you, trying to find out the details. Guess what, Bob, it annoys me, too.
3. How about a phone number that hasn't been disconnected and an email that works?
4. While we're at it, let's be professional. "LegalizeIt@biteme.net" isn't a good first move.
5. Take an extra minute to check out the format of you resume, once posted online. Be sure it's not a giant block of text. FYI: we don't read those. And there's at least one engineer out there wondering why no one has called with a job. Is that how sloppy All your work is?

Especially if you don't use Spellcheck.
So what exactly do you do for a living? Read resumes or something? I should make one and have you proof read it because well... you seem to do it for a living.

Yea, I see resumes once in a while... you know... ALL THE TIME. ALL DAY LONG. NEVER ENDING RESUMES.
The one I saw today? His target job title was 'Hi Lo Driver', he's had about 12 jobs (all in different industries, mind you) in the last 5-6 yrs, and has a salary requirement of $9/hr.
I can't believe no one has snapped him up!
