No offense taken. I like the post. Trust is important between a recruiter and candidate.

No offense was meant by the headhunter warning. In my area you have to be careful about the jobs offered and really know and trust the recruiter. <br>Rich Paul,

You are right on with most of the advice. Being a Headhunter, a couple things I would add:

Leave adequate space to allow the resume to be read easily. In this market, no one is going to take the time to read a four inch paragraph in 9-point to try and figure out what you do.

Give qualitative results where you can. Although past results are not necessarily an indicator of future performance, employers love to see numbers. Example: “Decreased costs by 42% through consolidation of vendors.”

Overall, a nice post.
