Name that resume!

When you're emailing resumes to friends, colleagues or potential employers, PLEASE keep in mind how lazy the recipients are, no matter how much we want to help you or see your talents. Give it your name, i.e., RoseJonasResume.doc. I have on my desktop resumes that say:

RESUME_November_2007.doc
Resume_-_B.doc
MyResume.doc
updatedresume.doc

If busy recruiters are overwhelmed with resumes in this lousy economy, you can bet they want to move as quickly as they can through this onerous sorting task. Tell them who you are, or they might pass you by!
