Scobleizer says that 80% of Resumes are crap and will be rejected out of hand. How do you get put into the crap pile? Here’s some ways from his blog;
- Include only an attachment and don’t write anything in the body of the email.
- Include a misspelling.
- Apply for a job which you are clearly unqualified for (it stands out like a sore thumb).
- Include a Word document that can’t be opened (something like Microsoft Word 2007 format that can’t be open in earlier version, OpenOffice nor Pages).
- Include only a resume and don’t explain why you think you are qualified for the job (believe it or not, a well written letter puts you to the top 20% pretty quickly).
- Send it from an email address with a goofy name.
- Apply for a job for which you are clearly overqualified for.
- Have your friend send in a resume for you.
- Don’t test your email on a variety of clients.
- Send it from free version of Hotmail/Yahoo!, which puts an advertisement at the end of your email. Looks very professional when one see is the ad and nothing else.

A Photographer chose the “Advertisement” as a subject while “looking for a job in same filed.” Btw, we’re never a Photography site nor have we ever asked for Photographers to work/consult for us (yet).
