Re: FLASH: my online resume

[Russ Unger]

John...


You're being more than a little skewed on that opinion.  In my experience,

and the experience of my friends in the Recruiting industry, we've seen that

many recruiters for Headhunter-type companies will not look through a Flash

resume, simply because they do not understand nor care about the type of

information.  


Show this Flash resume to a decision-maker and the impression is drastically

different--unless your resume is just a text resume dropped into Flash. 

Jazz it up a little by adding some animation, etc, and others are cool with

it.  


Recruiters/persons who work within an organization as opposed to an outside

resource generally seem to care a little more about what you're

doing--others will just look for the .txt file so they can do their little

keyword scanner.


ooh.  ahh.
