1. Remember that the one who screens your resume can’t spell either.
2. Most resumes are computer scanned, put random key words and acronyms throughout the document (in no particular order) and someone will call you for an interview.
3. Make your resume with the latest version of MS Word, use a Times
font and don’t put anything fancy or pretty in the document. God knows MS Word is the stupidest tool to create a document, but most everyone is used to the lame looking documents that MS Word produces. Anything out of the ordinary will just piss off one of the halfwits and your resume will end up in file 13.
4. Put all the high points of your career (you loved every job you have ever had) into your cover letter. The reason being, the one who reads your cover letter is too damn dumb to understand your resume, and thus being suitably impressed with your cover letter, will pass your resume to someone who actually matters in the world.
5. Do absolutely everything you can think of to get your resume out of the hands of the garbage people in the HR department, and into the hands of the people you might eventually be working with. Mail room employees and admin assistants can get your resume on the right desk for a price.
6. Never marry or have children with anyone that claims to be a Human Resources specialist. This subspecies of humans has been propagating for far too long.
