Letter to Self: Would I Hire Me If I Were You? by Debra Wheatman - Nov, 2009 As an HR professional I cannot tell you how many résumés I have received from candidates that were so unqualified, so out of reach, so uninteresting to me as a hiring manager as to make me look twice to see if I was putting them in the right pile for the right job.

Seven Ways to Get A Hiring Manager’s Name by Debra Wheatman - Nov, 2009 How does one go about getting the name of someone in human resources or the name of a hiring manager? Job listings posted all over the place simply read: No phone calls and direct résumé to BD or some other letter combination at some post office box or no-reply email address. Getting a name is like pulling a needle from a haystack. A good read might be something from Sherlock Holmes or a day with reruns of Get Smart to help so... |

Consistency - In Brand and Simply Following Directions by Kris Parfitt - Oct, 2009 I often wonder what goes through the mind of a candidate who does not follow the directions for submitting a resume after reading a job description.
