We get hundreds of resumes for any given position, all submitted electronically. Most important is to have your "cover letter" as the body of your email. Nothing long-winded, just a simple value proposition that demonstrates you understand the position and you have the skills needed to do it well.
For your resume, with a quick skim we want to see u have the core skills backed w/results. 124 weeks ago

I am surprised to see that NBC Universal made the list but there is no mention of General Electric -the parent company of NBC. GE has, in my opinion, one of the top leadership training programs for Gen Y in the country (which I understand wasn't necessarily a criteria of this review). Great to see the Accounting firms represented. Perhaps a comparison of this list to the top 50 places to launch a career would provide some additional insight.
Kelly Cuene: Jason - Great observation about GE. Their leadership training programs are extremely popular among the students I work with.

Interesting to see Grant Thornton top the accounting firms on this list. I wonder if it's because their employees have better work/life balance? Better pay? 127 weeks ago
