Pay very close attention to the specific qualifications an employer lists for a particular job, and make sure your resume contains those exact words.

The rules allow companies to pick a random pool of applicants by searching the job boards for 'most recent' qualified applicants. In those cases, no one will even look at a resume that is more than two or three weeks old.

If an employer says that, to apply for a given job, you must go to their web site and enter a certain code number, then do that. Otherwise your resume will never be seen.

I am involved in minor league baseball. I go around the country speaking to troubled youths, trying to help them understand that whatever path they choose, they'll need to really pay attention to it.

I like getting older. When you're in your twenties you're really forging for your future. Things take shape later on.

In the past, I've never tried to discount or stop what people are saying because on some levels I find it interesting.
