No Salary Info Please

Resumes should be Like a Short Skirt

No more than two page resumes. Resumes should be like a short skirt, short enough to arouse curiosity, but long enough to cover the whole thing.

Don’t Use Resume Blasters

Never use resume blaster services. Select the job portals, employers or consultants you want to send CV to. Being seen everywhere reflects badly on your judgement. And also reveals desperation in getting a job.
