Does any company want to hire me?
RiderOfGiraffes: Context: I employ people. I have 22 employees, and the last three hires were because I saw someone that impressed me and put them on, even though neither of us knew what they would do.  I knew they would be of value.I'm not hiring at the moment, but here are some thoughts about your resume:When I read a resume I want to know what value you will bring to my company.  I want to know what you can do, and then I want to see the evidence to support your claims. I want to know why you are going to bring in more money than you cost.  Your CV on your web site has to be generic, I know, but I can't easily see from it what you can do.There are some impressive things there (teaching in Ghana, running your company, etc.) and they will lend support to your claims, but first, what will you do for me?Secondly, I know it's unusual for a senior director of two companies (yes, I run another company as well) but I don't use Word.  Yes, most people who will read your CV will, but it would be nice to have a plain text version, and a PDF version, and an HTML version.  Make some effort to make it easy for people to see what you have to offer.Finally, one of my colleagues just read this and my other comment and said - "Harsh."  Yes, agreed.  But still, these are things I believe to be true, and I offer them in the hope that they are of value.  They might not be, feel free to ignore them, but perhaps they will help.  They are offered in that spirit.And I wish you good luck.
