CAREER TEASERS!

May 12, 2008 Challenge:

Q. Name three pieces of work history information reported on a job application but not a resume.

A. A resume does not list salary, reason for leaving a job, exact job location, supervisor's name, number of hours worked per week, felony conviction or references. A job application is an employer's screening tool. A resume is an applicant's marketing tool.

Exact job location like real estate can make a difference in the perceived value and/or quality of a job.

Can you think of other information listed on a job application that is not listed on a resume?
