Employers know what they are looking for in a resume. If they see a resume with a mistake in any one of the many resumes they are reviewing for a position, that resume will most likely get filed in the "do not follow up" pile. If you want to be noticed, you need to make sure that your resume does not contain any errors that will irritate potential employers.

The first man, Alfred Johnson, walks in dressed in a professional business suit with a manila file folder, a writing tablet, and a ballpoint Stick Pen that had a logo on it of a local restaurant. The second man, George Rockstone, comes to the interview wearing a professional business suit, a briefcase with a portfolio, and a pilot precise grip needle roller ball pen. Both men are qualified for the position. The only variable that is different about both of the men is what they brought to the interview. Who would you hire?

Alfred Johnson, the man that just brings a file folder, writing tablet and a ballpoint stick pen with a logo restaurant imprint on it or George Rockstone, the man who brings a briefcase, a portfolio and a grip rollerball pen?

I asked this question to several managers that I know and all of them said George Rockstone. They all stated that George Rockstone realized that as soon as you walk into the interview, you are being judged. This is just something to remember for your next job interview. Take a pen that is nice and professional looking!
