Hello all,
does someone know, which resume format I should use? As you know, there are big differences between the U.S. and European resume format.
So I already checked out the related topics here. Does someone have a resume sample for me which helps. Unfortunately the most of them here on this site are not very old.
Thankx in advance.

John

Oxfords is a good template to use above.

Lol .. :lol:
It appears I too have 2 public profile views this week, 2 in the week before that and 3 in the week following the submission. Someone probably forgot to sign into his LinkedIn account, or was it deliberate?!

I'd totally agree with that "hey, can't understand s*** about dat guy, gotta check his LKD" thingy or otherwise they'd have checked every candidates profile.
Or may be they'd be like, "Is this guy really all the stuff that he has written in the app or is he a fake? Let's check his LinkedIn page."

This would have been fun speculation, had we found it earlier. :roll: But its nice to finally have a few sparks now. :)

Hard to speculate but its positive that theyre giving your app consideration.

Also shows the recruiters do actively check internet on applicants.

Today is going to be very tough....

If its not to be, I've formulated my approach for the next year to start building the transition I seek - small comforts!
