If you are one of the unlucky majority that are seeking work currently you have your work cut our for you.  But on the other hand if you are an employer that is presently hiring, today’s economic times are both a blessing and a curse.  A blessing in that you have your pick of applications, and even for the most menial of jobs you are likely to get hundreds of resumes pouring into your email inbox.  But it is a curse from the stand point that you will have to look through all of those resumes to find the ideal candidate.  And that is far from easy with every person dressing up their resumes to present their best image.  But if you can weed through all the garbage you can definitely find the right person for the job and they are likely to be more loyal than ever to boot.
