I agree with your approach and I have attended workshops and presentations that have taught me the same approach that you are helping us to learn. Recently, at a Career Re-boot Camp, we were given a complete roadmap to finding the hiring Manager that I have just started to use. My only reason for mentioning that the traditional approach to crafting resumes is that I have to consider taking an interim or survival job just to pay the bills. As soon as I have any success with my resume, I will share my experience with the group. Liz, thank you again for your answer and perspective.

I love the web page idea. LinkedIn profile pages are also getting cooler by the minute. You can add lots of things - a blog, a Sharepoint thingy, a Powerpoint presentation - to your LinkedIn profile these days. Cheers - Liz Hiya Steve, how are you? I love the web page idea.

We're not writing to the HR person standing at the receiving end of the Black Hole! We're writing to the hiring manager, directly. We can find that person's name and we can reach him or her -- keep reading the blog for details on that process. The Black Hole is a complete waste of time. Hiring managers absolutely respond to the human voice in both your resume and your cover letter -- I call it a Pain Letter - that speaks to the real need behind the job ad, the business pain that led to the approval for a new hire in the department. People respond to our writing more or less based on their proximity to the action - if they're clerical people performing an administrative resume-sorting function, your distinctive and confident human-voiced resume may not resonate with them or may even be aversive. But you don't want to your resume in those folks' hands in the first place!<br>Best -- Liz Hi Elbert,
