> Nowadays its the CFO making the hiring decisions not the CTO Um, isn't that itself a major problem? Would you have an auto mechanic make hiring decisions for clothing salespeople? Of course not; it's grossly outside the mechanic's field of expertise. So why would you let a financial expert make hiring calls for people outside of the financial person's field of expertise? Specifically, technical people? Any company that stupid deserves to be plonked in the round file, it seems to me. I certainly wouldn't bother tuning my resume for such. There are enough clueful companies (small ones, usually) that I'm not going to waste my time trying to get hired by someone who is not competent to judge whether I can do the job in question. Not to say that a badly written resume is as good as a well-written resume, heavens no. Just that it seems broken to buzzword-stuff a resume in order to get past a broken hiring process. Would you really *want* to work for a company stupid enough to let people in field A make hiring decisions for field B? /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouseat_private / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
