I’m presenting at the Utah County Job Club tomorrow on how recruiters view your resume. This event is held in the North meeting room of the East Bay Cafe on the Novell campus. Novell* graciously donates this space for the club’s use to the community. Come and see what “recruiter blinders” are and how your carefully hand-crafted resume actually looks from my eyes (hint: I don’t see what you see)
Also, check out/join the Job Club community on LinkedIn. If you can’t come tomorrow (or you might), at least participate in the conversation and share what you know!
Directions to the Meeting
The Utah County Job Club meets every Wednesday at 8am-9am at East Bay Cafe, the Novell Cafeteria. There is no fee to be a part of the group and you’re welcome to buy something to eat at the East Bay Cafe. This group is about providing a place where job seekers can connect to support each other and learn about effective job searching.
Address/Directions:
1800 South Novell Place
Provo, UT 84606
Parking available on the south end of the campus – near the large main building H. Walk along the west side of Bldg H back to the East Bay Cafe (you’ll see a large orange sign). The meeting is held in the conference room on the far north end of the cafeteria area.
In the mean-time, here’s how to write the perfect resume. (finally!) Also a post of mine on adjusting your LinkedIn profile to act like a resume, and below is a great SlideShare presentation called “Resume Zen” by Chris Ferdinandi over at EMC Career Services. I’m too ADD to listen to the audio track without skipping here and there, but I agree with the content!

Re: Mormon Guy to Internet: Shut Up and Think A Minute
May 11th, 2007This is a serious departure for me, and for the context of this blog, but I can’t help but forward on a link to Ken Jenning’s recent open letter to the media-consuming world to just take a breather and think for a second when it comes to the next Mormon joke heard ’round the Late Night Talk Show table, or passed off as humor in your stream of media consumption.
Jennings, well-known for his stint on Jeopardy!, poses some serious questions to the would-be humorists and trying-to-be-serious journalists trying to defend the world against Mormon religious beliefs. Of course, the whole read is worth your 30-second click through, but here’s a few stinging points I want to highlight:
