Gosh, you are just another reason I love Twitter so much. A resume is one of the few documents in our life that has to be perfect and at the same time Remarkable as Seth Godin would say.
I work with folks every week who are attempting to find work in this “less than splendid” economic times and as we know a resume is part of the game.

This was such a great tool I never in a thousand years.

Thank you for your practical and technical wisdom.

I would be interested to know if you think another tool for those seeking employement might be the creation of a Blog.

If I can ever help you in any way I would hope you would let me know.

Wishing you the most amazing year ever.

Cheers,

Lisa

There weren't a ton of surprises, which was a good thing, but it did remind me where I need to beef things up. And of course, it was just plain fun to see.

We suggested using it as a tool to prepare your resume - your resume would stay the same, but it is an additional tool to double check your resume. I don't think handing a word cloud to a recruiter would get you far. Thanks for reading. Lauren Hi Anthony,

However, think of some of the old-timey decision makers that are generally sitting across the table from you when you're being hired. Meanwhile you hand them a sheet of this word explosion and they are thinking "How did your kid's art project end up on your resume ?" Ehhh dunno about this one. You never know who you might get on the other side of the desk. I agree that it COULD be effective.

Another way to use this tool to your advantage would be to copy and paste the job description for the job you're applying to into Wordle and create a cloud for it to see what characteristics the employer is really emphasizing. Then you can compare that word cloud with the one from your resume and see if you're aligned with what they're looking for, or if you need to tweak your resume a bit. Jason and Lauren – great suggestion!
