<STRONG>1. Your resume won't be read until you go on the interview. If then.</STRONG> 
It is a fact of life. Corporate recruiters and headhunters alike are busy. They glance at resumes to see what you are about and decide to see you -- or not.  Most won't look at them again until they are sitting there with you. So make your resume eyeball friendly. Remember, a resume is an ad for yourself.

<STRONG>2. Interviewers and potential interviewers actually want to know very little about you.</STRONG>
In advertising, all anyone wants to know is where you worked, how long you were there, what you worked on and, importantly, whether you were promoted.
