EEOC & Video Resumes
The following letter is from an Assistant Legal Counsel of the EEOC. It was written in response to an inquiry for the EEOC’s guidance on recordkeeping in regards to electronic resumes that may contain video clips.
Some key points in the letter:
-it is not illegal for an employer to learn the race, gender, or ethnicity of an individual prior to an interview
-first steps in defining "internet applicant"

Does the EEOC need to take another look at this emerging concept, and if yes, how soon?

Unemployed Girls, Beware !
Here are some findings of Pew Research Center’s Global Attitude Project ( in association with the International Herald Tribune – July 2010 ) :
There is a pronounced gap between a belief in the equality of the sexes and how that translates into reality.
In China, India, Indonesia and Jordan, equal-rights supporters think, most of the adjustments necessary to establish equality have already been made.
In nations ( Europe / USA ) where equal rights are already mandated, women seem stymied by a lack of real progress.
More than 50% in 10 of 22 countries said that when jobs are scarce, they should go to men.
Surely they have not read the survey conducted by Psychology Professor Keith Laws ( University of Hertfordshire ), which found that girls are better than boys when it comes to multi-tasking !
May be my 2 unemployed grand-daughters have still some hope !

As compared to a jobseeker writing her own resume, a resume written by a professional expert resume-writer would any day prove better.
But
Before sending that well-written resume to a recruiter, can a jobseeker figure-out in advance what would happen if that resume
gets " rated / ranked / scored " by recruiter ?
gets compared automatically with resumes of other applicants ?
Will she get an interview-call ?
To know what is likely to happen , she has to just type "Resume Rater" in Google / Yahoo / Bing , and download this software tool ( free and without even login ) from any of the 35+ websites. Then rate her resume.
Resume Rater mimics the " resume-evaluation " process of recruiters’ minds but does it in an unbiased / objective way.
Resume Rater is absolutely non – discriminatory.

Text resumes will be around for a long time. Because everyone can type.
But everyone cannot write a story or a poem.
So, there will also be a demand for expert / professional resume – writers, for a long time to come.
But an ever-increasing number of recruiters feel that graphical / visual / audio resumes have an edge over plain text resumes – prompting emergence of job-portals such as

which inspired me to come-up with my own

( it is easy to be inspired, but , at the age of 77 , difficult to implement ! )
