Eric Hilden at the Center for Career and Life Development at Saddleback College in Southern California recently performed the “2010 Orange County Resume Survey” by surveying over 200 hiring managers and employers on their preferences regarding resumes and cover letters.
This is the same feedback I hear from employers and pass on to my students, so I found it very spot-on. The highlights? Keep your resume cleanly formatted to the last 10 years of related experience, in a Microsoft Word .doc format, and keep your cover letters short and to the point.

This an excellent article that clearly explains the benefit of networking in places where you get help in your job search. I will be speaking at Job Connections tomorrow July 17th on Personal and Career Branding and why you should do it.
Very, very informative and valuable information- the most useful I've found yet in my job search. Thank you for making this available.
