 Along with a new
week comes a new set of career advice tips from the 'experts.' Most of these bits
of sage opinions are applicable in general, but they will tell you that tailoring
the application to specific situations is the key to success. Duh, like you didn't
know that. Although I usually approach these advice columns with a healthy degree
of skepticism, it is sometimes advantageous to allow for the possibility that a
different tack might be more useful. Unless you have a direct contact in the department
being targeted, the first person seeing your resume will likely be a non-engineer
who is not fluent in technospeak. Just like on the street, speaking more loudly
(i.e., lots of impressive technical content) is not as effective as learning to
speak their native language.
