Hmmm. Which part is some???? ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you."

The process in most HR departments calls for an initial scanning of the cover letter to determine candidates that have highlighted their matching qualifications. Only the candidates that are seen as an initial match from the cover letter have their resume looked at. I agree that a truly unique attribute could be included, but it should be worked into how it is relevant to the job and introduced in the cover letter. For example, if a job requires "the ability to work in a diverse culture" a well traveled person could state that "travel throughout 18 countries has provided me with solid experience with a variety of cultures". Personal experience relevant to a job requirement should be included, but it should be done carefully. Yes, experience at the dog park may be memorable to someone. From my own experience, I can list a number of resumes that still stick in my from years ago, but they got a laugh not a call. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness.

I've been in management for more than ten years and am currently in a senior management position at a Fortune 500 company. Having read zillions of resumes here's what gets you on the "yes" list in my experience: 1. Clearly highlighting the experience/education you have that matches what is required in the job description. This is the purpose of the cover letter. 2. A well written cover letter with correct grammar and no typos. 3. No "fishy" or contradictory information. 4. Solid job history Happy Hunting! ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends.

I vote for take it all off! ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you."

Definitely NOT. Any resume's I receive that are not purely professional go into the round file. As do the one's without a cover letter. At this point, they never even make it to me. They get screened out as soon as they're received by HR. Save the personality for the interview. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends.

I have a sleep number bed and LOVE IT!!! They are a bit pricey, but well worth it. Now I need one for the RV, too. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends.

3 Moles want to know if it's spring. Papa mole pokes his head out of the hole and says, it's spring, I smell the sap in the trees. So Mama mole pokes her head out beside Papa mole and says, I smell all the flowers. Baby mole tries and tries to get his head out of the hole with mama and papa but can't. He cries out, All I smell is moleasses! ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends.

I much prefer boiling bunnies. Actually, I just release the dogs and they eat the bunnies. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you."

I think every relationship is and should be different. What works for me may not work or feel right to you. If you do decide to get married, don't think that it has to be like your parents or friends relationships. To each their own. Do what makes you happy! ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends.

As a life long insomniac, I have no useful advice. If I did, I would be asleep right now. If it becomes too bad, I suggest you try Ambien. The stuff works, I just try not to take it too often. Extra study time isn't always a good thing. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness.

Yeah. Good luck with that. If you figure out how you can right a book about it... of course you won't need the money anymore, but hey. You can always use more money. How about getting on a stupid tv show? You could win Fear Factor, you're a kick butt skydiver after all! Of course we don't usually eat nasty things to conquer fear... there was a post about licking cow shit off toes for jump tickets.... but I don't think anyone will give you 50K for that. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness.

I read the forums and make random comments. Is it working???? ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you."

My comment is: No Comment. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you."

I've been to 47 DZ's in 6 countries. The dog(s) have been to 41 in 3 countries. If I haven't been to your DZ, yet... I'll get to it eventually. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends.

The Dana Scully character from the X Files. I have no idea who the actress is. How does that make me feel???? Hmmm. I suppose it could be worse. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends.

Personally, I like the tucked in with the jacket. It's more suave casual than without. JMO. A sport coat/blazer is a more casual, less tailored look than a suit coat. You wouldn't wear a tie with a sport coat. Pleae. Good luck! ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness.

I'd have to agree with you there. So this is what you boys do in Nebraska?????? ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you."

I was a member of the FEMA search and rescue operation and was at ground zero for 15 days. The experience is one that is still difficult for me to talk about and I rarely do. It's not possible for me to even begin to describe to you the horrors of the 9/11 attack. The pictures you saw on the news, the film you watched on television did not convey even a fraction of what it was to be there among the debris of twisted metal, glass, concrete, and pieces of flesh that were once people. In the fourteen days I spent working the site my dogs recovered hundreds of human pieces and many bodies. It was a life changing experience, the scenes of which are etched permanently on the surface of my mind. That all being said, I realize I have a rather different view. It makes me both sad and angry that people would prefer to argue over details they don't understand or have access to. It only serves to divide us by turning the reality of the attack into a political battle. This was not an attack on our politics. It was an attack on our way of life. To all the American troops and allied forces I give you my thanks. My thoughts are with you. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends.

I prefer to do it myself. I have crappy veins and usually end up a pin cushion, otherwise. Even if I'm not doing it, I still watch. I don't have the guts to look away from someone coming at me with a sharp object. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness.

I'm not a fan of the P90, either. Cast my vote for the Glock .45 What's not to love? It's smooth, reliable, and accurate... just try not to shoot yourself. Of course I also really like my Desert Eagle 9 just for fun. Then there's the Remington 870 Express Magnum for home defense. No need for accuracy there... Guns are Fun. ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends.

Yes, clothing theft. We don't really need to talk about that, though. Do we? I had a blast. 36 jumps including: 1st Birdman 5 more Birdman Jumps 2 Balloon Jumps 1 Helicopter Jump 1 Team Flail Jump 27 Freefly Jumps Now I'm looking for a Birdman suit. Anyone got a small GTI for sale???? It's nylon crack. Anyway, thanks for all the good times. Eloy was a kick ass boogie this year!!! ________________________________________ "One out of every four American's are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends.
