Looking for a job at a major tech company? Microsoft takes the guesswork out of their application process with their own JobsBlog. JobsBlog has lots of juicy details about what it takes to get a job at the Redmond WA powerhouse, but one of the most useful entries is this one, on what a recruiter looks for in an initial resume review. For example, the author cites target job title as one of the most important pieces of a resume, and emphasizes the importance of addressing gaps.
Written by actual Microsoft recruiters, JobsBlog is a must read for anyone considering a career in Information Technology, and anyone else trying to understand the reasoning of prospective employers.
