Resume Facts
Rated 6 out of 10

April 24, 2008 (5 months 18 days ago)I like the fact that "Resume Facts" lists what the employers are looking for. This is helpful to job hunters, like me, who didn't know some of the little things, like the employers expect a thank you note. Maybe I will have better luck now.
