PC,
I have been watching your posts silently for a couple of weeks now…I love your posts..they are simply superb.. Regarding this post, it’s really helpful for someone who comes in the US for the first time. I used to give advices for my medicos friends but I am not qualified to comment on this article, I being completey unaware of the IT field here. But I have one advice for the Indian friends. ( actually my husband gave me this advice). We Indians tend to stick on one Resume for all kinds of jobs we apply to. But the best thing is to modify your Resume each time you apply for a job, giving special importance to the words/qualifications that you think the recruiters are looking for that particular job. I had my Resume modified 6-7times already when I was looking for externships here, jsut trying to add some words that would be interesting to the particular hospital.
PC,
