Gary,

You have a point, sir. Thank you! I think it’s a matter of preference, just like most features of a resume. It’s all about what makes the most sense for the individual and how they can tailor it to the company or position. Thanks for the comment!

Once you know your key traits – how you see yourself and how others see you – you can go some way to discovering what companies you’re best suited to.

Take a look at ViewsOnYou – http://www.viewsonyou.com. Once you’ve built your public 360 profile with your own self review and peer reviews, you can discover your key traits, how you work, think and interact, and match yourself with the culture of leading companies.

For example, see if you’re a closer fit to Microsoft or Apple employees, what makes you different, and what traits you share.

Great advice Kirk,

I’m still young and I know the learning curve for becoming a good networker is long, but learning from networkers who are already experienced in network marketing can shorten that learning process. I know that you can not be a good networker by yourself, it’s just not possible. That’s why I love to listen and get advice from the experts. Thanks for the tips Kirk.

I don’t mind “references available upon request” so much. I think it behaves like a period at the end of at sentence. Basically it says “don’t bother looking to see if there is a second page.”

Of course, if that real estate is needed for something else, it’s one of the first things to go.

Enjoyed this post very much, Kirk! As the Director of Admissions at my institution, I have been known to begin the meetings of the Admissions Team, AKA the A-Team with the A team theme song

All humor aside – a thought-provoking article! Thanks!
