"How are you going to negotiate salary after begging for a job for three months?"
That was my problem with the article as well. It puts you in a position of weakness/subservience. Most people will take advantage.
My resume is a PDF document, black background with orange borders and text. The pages advance like PowerPoint slides. The headings are Who I am, What I know, What I've done. The whole thing reads like a story. In the very first section, Who I am, I tell them that I'm evolution's gift to humanity. I carry that same playful, yet knowledgeable attitude into the interview.
I sent it out once last year, and I'm at that job typing this now. My boss is quite a character, so he likes that sort of thing. I'll be sending it out to some companies this week, and see what happens.

- iamdave 16y agoI'd love to take a look at this, if nothing else than to see a resume with a twist. Do you mind? Email is in the profile
- euroclydon 16y agoThe about slug in your profile doesn't make any sense.
- runjake 16y agodaverecruit dot sc shift+2 gmail dot com = daverecruit.sc@gmail.com. It's not rocket science, folks.
- mapleoin 16y agoalthough I think the reason why it was so convoluted was because he didn't want to just write his email on a public forum for fear of spam </hint>
- mortenjorck 16y agoYou should try my method. It's worked like a charm so far!
- DTrejo 16y agoOr my method, which has also worked like a çħặŕṃ :)
- nandemo 16y agoInteresting. You filter not only automated spam but also all the people who don't know what's the capital of France.
- hartror 16y agoExcellent idea! Remove not only spam but morons as well!
- runjake 16y agoThe "capital" of France is "F". Again, it's not rocket science... oh wait, I guess it is, he meant "capitol" whoops.
- mortenjorck 16y agohttp://dictionary.reference.com/browse/capital http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/capital Capitol is the actual building. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/capitol http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/capitol
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoSo your email address is "F@yourdomain.net" since the capital of France is "F"?
- naz 16y agoMy email is bricollins@gmail.com. Why do people still obfuscate their email addresses? When was the last time anyone had a problem with spam?
- liedra 16y agoOn my keyboard (Belgian French) that makes daverecruit.sc2gmail.com ;)
- loewenskind 16y agoshift+2 for me = "
- oz 16y agoEmail sent.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoOn my keyboard "Shift+2" is double quotation marks.
- danielharan 16y ago"Most people will take advantage" If you're going to research companies though, find some that are going to be fair. You don't have to beg to be persistent, and if you have ideas for how to improve processes and understand the business, you will be able to negotiate a decent salary.
