I may be off base and I don't mean to offend anyone but I want to give a piece of advice on posting resumes.
I am currently employed but that doesn't mean I don't try and keep up with the job market. In this job market you have to be especially on top of everything. Employers are flooded with qualified applicants so they can pick and choose whom they want. I read articles telling how they will throw out applications based on typos, grammar, colored paper, etc.. Some employers will set up instructions on how to submit an application and if they are not followed exactly they will discard the application without even looking at it.
I don't know how many employers are actually looking through the resume forum but if they are I would imagine they are going to be just as picky as if they were looking at a hard copy.
I am saying this because I want to help people and I can see the very real possiblity of doors closing before they get a chance to get their foot in due to minor errors that can cause major damage to applicants in today's job market.
Good luck to all,
