I just was wondering, in the case of the gentlemen who posted his curicullum vitae on this site, I always thought that posting your religion, nationality and sex on a resume presents the issue of discrimination. There are some companies that upon finding resumes with pictures and this sort of information may not even look at it. Reason being, if the person does not get the job they can claim that it was because they were being discriminated against by the company. It is recommended to just leave that sort of information until the interview but only if asked. In addition to this if the hobbies have nothing to do with the job skills its best to leave it out. Just trying to help. Mr. Brian, thank you for the advice.

I found your info on attachments very helpful. My main question however is what is/are the favored format(s) to use when sending E-Mails. In other words, should I/we use PDF; MS Word RTF format etc. etc. Also I still believe that using the 'ol shoe leather and "pressing the flesh" a good way to keep me form getting discouraged when I feel there's nobody out there.

Most important is the part about attachments being treated like SPAM -- I never thought of that (especially since many employers ask to send an attachment). I know it's true because I sent an attachment to myself and wondered where it was, it turns out that it got shifted automatically to my SPAM folder. It's just another case in point that it's always a good idea to follow up with a hardcopy. But today, many employers make it difficult to get the address -- whether they post company confidential, use a recruiter or just list on Craigslist with the anonymity that that forum provides. Incidentally, there are lots of good resume books available on eBay. Sign up with us and you can get cash back on every eBay purchase and make money when other people you refer shop eBay through this cash back site. It's a great source of residual income and something that job hunters can do while they have the luxury of some extra time. You offer some sage advice for job seekers, Brian.

I would like to use the strategy your legal writer used when I send out my resume! Only problem is I cant seem to get a hiring managers name. I look online, google search and sometimes call the corporation but never receive a name. Sometimes when I do get a name, they will not give any additional information so that I can make sure the person does receive my resume. Any advice? That is great advice!
