What to do when your company misses payroll?
RiderOfGiraffes: Some comments about resumes ...If you apply for a job with me, I want to know why I should employ you.  I want to know how you will add value to my company.  I want to know that you will bring skills and abilities.Do you know what I want?  You should.  You shouldn't just read the ad for the job - you should find out what my company does, then read the ad, and work out how your skills will help me meet my goal of making money.  If you can't or won't do those things, I probably don't want you to work for me.What skills do you have?  How can I tell?Can you work on your own?  How can I tell?Can you work in a team?  How can I tell?Will you get things done?  How can I tell?I don't really care about your education, or your recent jobs, unless they show me why you are the right person for me.  And I want to read that on the first page, preferably in the first paragraph, and preferably without typos, grammatical errors, or anything else to distract me.  I don't at this stage really care what your name is, or how to contact you, or whether you can typeset 16 different fonts on the same page.Why should I employ you?  What do you think I want, and why should I think you have it.And good luck in whatever you choose.  You could choose to put your resume in your profile here on HN.
