by Search Masters International recruiter Dave Jensen. "Let's blow some dust out of the corners of the job hunting shelf at the local library. Do you think that the wisdom of the ages might still hold truths for us in today's job market -- and in the tumultuous industry that we belong to? I doubt it. Just as surely, I know that these words that I write today will look ridiculous in the internet archives of the year 2000."

Analyzing the American Resume and the European CV
"Many biotechnologists are considering jobs on the “other side of the pond.” Whether you
are in the USA considering a stint with a hot European startup, or a Euro scientist considering
a move to an established US biotech firm, you realize that your skills are in demand on either
side of the Atlantic. But what differences there are in the way that applicants present
themselves to companies in these markets! Writing a resume is difficult enough, but have you
considered what type of materials to present if you are considering a job overseas? Because
today’s marketplace is less bound by borders, the prospective job seeker needs to know the
standards of other countries and expectations of what the hiring manager will be looking for
from prospective candidates."
