You're Not Fooling Anyone

I just stumbled across an interesting blog I didn't even know existed (sorry HR Guy) but I'm subscribing to the feed now after reading his great post about trying to avoid answering question about salary requirements.

Unfortunately, his blog set-up won't allow me to quote any of his post so you'll have to trust me and go read it. His bottom-line is "answer the damn question because I'm not stupid."

I tell job seekers the same thing when they try to disguise issues with their background by creating a functional resume. All recruiters and HR Managers have seen a thousands of these resumes and they know exactly why you're using one. You're not fooling anyone.
