How do you know you haven't been already? Chances are they wouldn't even call you back.<br><br>Anyway, my apologies Pete, I didn't mean to call you a bumpkin. I'm just a stickler for stuff like that on a resume since I do a lot of hiring and I see a lot of crap. The spelling of resume is really one of the most insignificant mistakes.<br><br>

I just don't understand it, really- why place the same type of accent on two of the same letter that are pronounced differently?<br><br>I might be in trouble if I was some sort of proofreader or editor, but I would hope art & creative directors are only looking at the pretty pictures I sent them...<br><br>[color:red]5.19.05 - The 'Jedi Slaughter' tour begins!</font color=red>

They aren't pronounced differently outside of the US. Ray-zoom-ay would be the English/French pronunciation, which is why the acute/aigu accents are included. The American is closer to rez-ume-ay. <br>It is a little confusing because of the french origin. Even spanish names such as San José officially have the accent but in practice usually don't. Generally, here we have to know the context of the word to know how the final e is pronounced.<br><br>So, I decided to resume handing over my resume after taking an annoying phone call from Steve about buying his Mazda.<br><br>I for one favour résumé everywhere but in the States, where i just dump the accents all together since so many people have no idea how to pronounce é.<br><br><br>

Pete<br><br>hayesk has a good point - short and sweet and to the Point.<br>If you get to wordy your resume will find its way to the trash in a few minutes <-- really thats all the time you got only a few minutes.<br><br>All the interviewer wants to know is "What" are you going to do for the company <-- thats it. Certainly do not get to wordy on how your gonna do "what" thats dangerous.<br><br><br>
