So, you read my post about the Opposite Test and thought, "Yeah, good idea for all those losers who aren't good at writing their resume (but I'm great, so I'm not going to worry about it)".
Read the following lines from resumes I've seen recently:
- I thrive on problem-solving, planning, budgeting, and supporting complex projects.
- Self motivated individual, with strong leadership, communication, and organization skills.
- Sound knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming and Concepts, Networks and Databases.
- Proven ability to consistently design and maintain secure, high-performance infrastructure in support in a scalable and highly available production environments
- Accomplished, entrepreneurial leader seasoned in spearheading the development and marketing of diverse software and web products.
- Highly motivated and creative technical professional who offers many years of accomplished experience in all phases of the software development lifecycle.
What do you think: Are these differentiating statements? Would you call any one of these people for an interview based on their ability to stand out and show you that they can do something great for you? That they are enthusiastic about your open position?
Put your thinking caps on boys & girls, because there's going to be a test. Send in your resume and see if you get called!
