Why am I not getting contacted, hired, or talked to about jobs? Background checks?

1. If you have not been convicted, you should be fine. All convictions of any type will appear in the background check. 2. "Under the table" is not legal, if the employer you listed verifies your employment status with him/her they are subject to fines and jail time 3. You are making it difficult to contact you.

It is a sign of our times that when a company advertises just in once in Sunday classifieds with a fax number -- they get upwards of 3,000 resumes. I mean people with scant connections to the listed qualifications are faxing. Furthermore, it takes four or five styles of resumes, which becomes a major headache keeping it all straight, but it has to be done. It IS a f**king numbers game. Go to the library or a bookstore with a coffeeshop, read up on books that talk resumes. Drive around town and cold call at places you think would be interesting and ask the front desk if you could fill out a job app. Leave your resume on top. Study up on the styles of resume. That will answer your quesiton about "under the table" but you could probably word that different. Good luck. I passed out 3,000 resumes in 19 months and I hate my job.
