Quote of the Week
Typically I only do a quote of the week at my other blog, www.disaster-zone.com but then I came across the following that fit well with the topic of jobs.
"The closest a person ever comes to perfection is when they fill out a job application form." Stanley J. Randall The resume and the job application are the places to put forward the best you have to offer. These are also the places to be honest with yourself and with others.
I'm a big believer in citing your accomplishments. If you are a recent graduate, then it is your education. Later in your career what you have done in your work life will become much more important than your education.
Unfortunately there are still unscrupulous people who will lie on their resume. At my current job the HR department has an outside firm check all the references and the educational history.
So be "perfect" but perfect in what you have accomplished, not what you wished you had accomplished.
