Advice should given with a WARNING that if taken and acted on it could be hazardous to your career, health, taste, vision, sphincter--or all the above. But since it's free flowing and you can take it or ignore it at your own…

Guess I'd better change my Career Summary: Over approximately last 5 years, I have assisted and attempted to implement professional policy. Hopefully I've been a team player.

I have to agree with the font statement John. People really need to put the resume in New Times Roman font 11. They also need to make sure dates are correct and bullet points instead of paragraphs are on the resume. It gets really frustrating when I…

Trying to find the good info in this post. Sounds angry.

I have to take issue with implemented also. I am currently looking for an implementation manager so the resume better have implemented on it. Implementation is key to almost any chage in process be it IT or any other function. Most people have at…

Saying "never" is a door that closes on new realities. Go figure.

Amber Forbes commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'

Implemented, really? Sometimes implementation is the hardest part. It often takes working with multiple departments and vendors, managing project deadlines, managing obstacles, etc.

Kerin Colby commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'

I hate resumes that just have a list of keywords at the end so that their resume is more "searchable." If you've really done these things or possess these skills then I should find the same keyword with some substance around…

I'll read/skim any decently put together resume that has proper flow, showing career growth. Just don't send it to me in a COMIC SANS font or it will be deleted.

Ari Waller commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'

For me, the use of "involved in" raises many flags. Usually when I see this on a technical resume, it is followed by a complex long paragraph with way too many buzzwords. Typically when I ask the person what they actually did, verses what…

John Comyn commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'

Bit harsh on "implement". In my view anything that is hearsay is a no no. The one's that worry me are: "out the box thinker" or "great relationship builder". You may be but how do I know, plus there are…

My pet hate - "Attention to detail". You then find the CV and/or covering letter is full of typo's and spelling mistakes!

Agreed, Darryl... who would have thought that "expert" and "passionate" would become cliches?

Darryl Dioso commented on Mark Babbitt's blog post '7 Words I Never Want to See on Your Resume'

I hate some of the current buzz word titles like Ninja, Evangelists, Guru, etc.

Is it Time for a Candidate Bill of Rights?

Posted on August 21, 2011 at 6:58pm 8 Comments 0 Likes

Fairly recently, influentials such as ERE and Monster were working to build momentum regarding the creation of a “Bill of Rights” for job seekers; specifically, to greatly improve the candidate experience. Due to the enormous amount of talk at the recent #truBoston event and on Twitter chats regarding employer branding and applicant black holes, I’ve been thinking about this issue again.

With recruiter transparency and forced accountability through social media, organizations clearly… Continue

workforce – could be thankful for as they dutifully fulfill their intern

responsibilities.

From the intern perspective (and with tongue firmly in cheek) YouTern presents…

Author: Franco Fernando at TheSavvyIntern.

Coy looks. Stolen glances. Awkward conversation.

If you’re lucky… undeniable chemistry.

We’ve all been on that first date. And we all experience the same feelings: excitement, anticipation, hope and sometimes disappointment.

I’ve had my share of first dates, and observed many more from a… Continue
