Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 blog resume-email

My very best resume suggestion … Give some thought to the shelf-life of the email deal with you list in your resume. College students – Ah,Windows 7 Pro, that .edu email address. It’s nice when you are in school, but 6 months or a year after graduation, you may find it no longer works. While this doesn’t matter prior to graduation, you may find you miss a few golden opportunities down the road. Resumes tend to resurface. A recruiter may find an outdated resume posted on a job board or sitting on a stagnant home page. I’ve played that “where are they now?” game many times when I’ve run across a 2 – 3 year old resume of a former student. The problem? I don’t know how to get in touch with them. The phone number and mailing deal with dates back to school, and the e mail deal with no longer works. So, college students, my advice is to checklist your .edu address along with another standard email address (hotmail,Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, gmail, yahoo,Windows 7 Ultimate Key, etc) you plan to hang onto and check periodically down the road. You never know what interesting opportunities await you in the future. Experienced jobseekers – Take my .edu argument and apply it your work e-mail handle. A big chunk of experienced people submit their resumes using their work e mail tackle. Two problems: 1) Just like in the “where are they now game?,” work e mail addresses deactivate as soon as you change jobs … and 2) many recruiters and hiring managers will tell you they find it unethical for an applicant to record their work e mail deal with on a resume. You are job seeking on a current employer’s dime and time – hmmm, shady? Plus, current employers have the right to see what you are up to on their e mail domain ... probably a can of worms you don't want to open. Personally, as a recruiter, I cared little about argument 2,Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, as I don’t believe there is necessarily malicious intent by the employee who lists a work e mail handle – but I believe I may be in minority on this one. Be aware this perception is out there. Like I suggested below,Windows 7 Key, stick with a generic (and professional sounding … no HotGirl1975 handles ;-) email tackle you plan to keep around for a while. gretchen
