Job Hunters!!!!!

Okay so I haven't blogged in a while and I'm taking my lunch break to blog should speak to my level of frustration with this topic! I do not understand where people come from or why they have to be greedy and ungrateful. In my new job I am Upper management and until we find a new HR person I am reviewing resume's and writing Ad's for job opening, not my area by ANY stretch of the imagination however; some job hunting tips.

1: READ the Entire Posting (for example don't call and ask how to I apply when you have just shown me you can read and follow directions)

2: Put in the subject line what job you are applying for (This should be a no brainier but it's not)

3: Don't call and tell me your life story THEN tell me you do NOT meet the minimum qualification for the job. (Why waste my time and yours?)

4: Also don't call and ask me if there is ANY was around the minimum qualifications (there is a REASON they say minimum!)

5: Don't call or email and ask for the salary, this is a questions left for a 2nd interview people!

6: Don't call and ask about Benefits again this is a question left IF you get called in for an interview.

7: A job posting is a posting not a magic wand to a interview I posted a job it may be a week or two before interviews calling me everyday is going to just drive me crazy and REALLY do you want someone who has a say in you getting a job or not already disliking you BEFORE the interview.

8: Don't place your Salary requirements in your resume unless asked, DON'T! Salary requirements are left for Upper management positions or for those who hold higher degrees!! You can't ask 35,000 for a Teachers Assistant job EVEN in DC sorry! I'm going to look at that and laugh more so when you only have a certificate and no college!

9: Spell check, spell check, Spell Check, Spell Check!!! If you miss spell in your cover letter, odds are you are going to the bottom of the pile!

10: Last but not least Attach the resume to the email!!!

Thank you for allowing me to vent, now I am going to do my "other" job this afternoon and leave the HR stuff alone before I need a white jacket!!! Love to all, hope everyone found this highly entertaining!!!
