PUBLIC MARKS from tacodog77 with tags resumes & "job boards"

If a recruiter cannot find a way to get a good match between his positions and quality candidates that are available and interested, then he’ll just post a generalized position and try to generate a pile, stack, or tsunami of resumes that he can stack on some poor hiring authority’s desk.

So many postings today are so generic that you can’t tell if they’re for an administrative assistant, a high-level manager, a copywriter, or some sort of imaginary worker that’s willing to do everything in an office for relatively no money at all. When you think about the fact that most recruiting tools rely on keywords and search, its no wonder that the wrong people are applying.

"So, what do you do? Put together a “killer” resume and let it sit in a pile of other “killer” resumes collecting dust?...Man, there’s nothing like a “soul-destroying” activity to get you going in the morning, right?"
