I have recently been posting resume and interview ‘tips’ on Twitter based on some of the poorly written resumes that have been crossing my desk as of late. Some of these were valid recommendations. Others were laced with sarcasm (I try to be professional, but come on, add YOUR NAME to your resume. We’ll need [...]
