Just to reply to the last comment (being a European). Though it is true Americans work more hours, research has shown that their productivity is less.

I would highly recommend reading "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Timothy Ferris. Maybe slightly offtopic but a great read on how to focus on the things that matter without wasting our time on unimportant tasks

Expect a lot more rubbish as the desperation levels rise in the current recession, and people struggle to hold on to existing jobs or to find new ones.

According to former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, the income of a young man in his 30s is now 12% below that of man of his age three decades ago.

An indication of the tough conditions is that "the typical American puts in 350 more hours than the average European, more even than the notoriously industrious Japanese"

But you cant put all candidates with the same measure, In this case, people having serious 20 years of international experience and still have been asked for the written test and the questions were prepared refering 3976543 books each with 56776554 pages!!!! Well, I don't care if somebody is going to judge me based on that test.

Can't agree more! Resumes can end up wasting time for both the employer and applicant. Unfortunately, resumes are the human resource / recruiters / applicant's form of currency. However, thereâ€™s plenty of counterfeit currency out there. Resume certification is where the future isâ€¦â€¦â€¦.

"the resumes I have seen were obviously made to order"

well, at least you're getting made to order. there is nothing more annoying than to open a resumw in Word, go to the Properties and find out it was written for another person by another company...

doesn't anyone examine the Properties of a Word document anymore?

Jeeez.....
