I'm Andy Lester, and I like to test stuff. I also write for the Perl Journal, and do tech edits on books. Sometimes I write code, too.

I'm still looking for candidates for my two jobs (http://www.follett.com/careers/showjobdesc.cfm?jobid=3111 and http://www.follett.com/careers/showjobdesc.cfm?jobid=799), and I've been googling for resumes. Turns out that I'm the #1 hit on "resume" and "perl", overtaking our own David Hand, as he's moved down to the #4 spot.

I find it pretty funny to see that you're ranked one better than the "SEO expert". :-)
Resume or résumé? (Score:2)

Interestingly enough the resuts are very different whether you use accented characters or not. Google seems not to do case folding.

Oddly enough I would guess that this favors people who use the easier-to-type resume instead of the more correct résumé, as chances are that the recruiter would not even know how to type the later.

I had no idea, but... "searching for perl and resume" [google.com] is not quite the same thing as "searching for resume and perl" [google.com] :-)

I don't even show up... oh, that's right! It has "perl", but no "resume" nor "résumé" written on it :-) Gotta take care of that :-)
