Hoping for a pay raise? You may have a better shot this year, according to a recent survey. WorldatWork, a nonprofit compensation-research firm, reported about 92% of employees can expect a larger paycheck, up from 87% in 2004, continuing the uptrend of the past few years. But keep in mind that companies' salary coffers have only grown 3.7% in 2005, according to the survey of 2,483 large companies. In 2003 and 2004, those same budgets improved by 3.5%, an all-time low.

If I approach the employer directly, would saying in a cover letter how I bypassed the recruiter and helped the company save money on search fees make me seem more attractive? Or would it be unethical for the employer to bypass the recruiter?

When a Lengthy Resume Makes Sense for Executives
|
08/22/2005
|
| |
If you've ever sought advice about resume writing, you know the rule: A resume should never exceed two pages. Overburdened screeners should see just enough at first glance to be impressed. Hit the high points, set the hook and save the details for the face-to-face interview.
