Post Dispatch Resume Writing Column

Post Dispatch Resume Writing ColumnTony of course is the ever-elusive Tony Mitchell, the celebrity stylist for the Post-Dispatch who speaks to us about how he does his job. When did Tony send his first resume? How did it get there?A Post-Dispatch feature titled 'Tony of Post Dispatch' has an interview with Tony about the types of resumes he receives. One is a post-it note on a desk that reads, 'My resume was rejected. I am sorry.' The other kind is a handwritten letter that is filled with spelling and grammar errors, not to mention lines like, 'I really can't be bothered with all this resume stuff,' followed by a table of contents.I'll let you decide which type of resume you should send. That's why I wonder when did Tony send his first resume? A Post-Dispatch feature even says Tony's first resume came after he applied to be a photographer, but he didn't get it. He could have made a resume now and sent it to Post Dispatch. The Post-Dispatch would have no trouble printing it out.This m eans there's a database of resumes in the Post Dispatch. They have access to hundreds of thousands of resumes - or more than that - and they compile them into a resume database. This makes sense since they would benefit from having access to a large pool of resumes. All of the resumes make sense to them, so they need to send out resumes.But if you're going to be in the paper work, why not send a resume online? It's not as much work, you don't have to hand write all of your stuff, and most of the time, they won't be too busy to look at your CV or email you with your resume. Oh, and they'll also save time too, since they can put together your resume as well as you have it. Just give them a line or two to start from.You can probably guess what the biggest part of this Post Dispatch feature is: Tony's resume. And if you think he doesn't make the cut because he's not 'super fit,' you're wrong. Tony gets included because he dresses great, looks good and is really successful at what he doe s. If he doesn't fit the Post-Dispatch standards for what makes a good photographer, they just may have to change the standards.Who can blame Tony? I mean, it's all about looking good, right? I bet all of the photos in his career photo album are well-lit, not dim, and everything else. At least that's what it would seem to be.Tony, the Post-Dispatch style of shooting, and his resume, probably fit together perfectly. I hope you'll please consider all this.
