Officially unemployed

[eightyeightfan1]

Another little tid bit I picked up from a headhunter: You can't have just one resume. Each resume you submit should be tailored to the requirements noted in the job offer.

Good point. Thats what they told us in the state run re-employment classes that I was required to take to keep getting unemployement.
Another hint is to keep the resumes seperate. And when going to apply, make sure you bring the right one with you. I made the mistake, though it worked out for the best, was when I went to the company I'm at now, I applied for one of the machine operators jobs. In a hurry to get to the shop to apply, I accidently grabbed the resume touting my twenty-five years of QA(Quality Assurance) experience, which I gave to the receptionist with my application. To make along story short, not only was the company looking for machine operators, but also a recieving inspector, as the one they had quit(This was last year..You have a job...Why quit?) that very morning I went to apply! Inetrview the next day...Drug test the day after that, and the next week, on Wednsday, November 18th, 2009...I started working again.

I guess my point is, that if the company hadn't been looking for a replacement inspector, and I handed in the wrong resume, I still might be looking today.

Congrats for you good fortune.
