Joel Cheeseman opens a whole can of worms with this idea. Interesting in the least, it could definitely slow down the amount of resume spam people get. You could compare the idea to people having to put a stamp on a letter to send their CV in the past. A lot of people would just stop applying and in my opinion that is a good thing. I run a search firm but we do advertise jobs as a matter of course although we don't fill as many jobs from advertisements as we do from search. I do find though, that the better the job the more applications we get from people who are trying their luck. Posting an Asia Pacific Sales Director role is an invite for a million applications. I don't blame these people but it takes an enormous amount of time to screen and process these applications. I can only imagine it being worse for large firms on direct advertisements.

Personal Favorites
Bob Parks: Makers: All Kinds of People Making Amazing Things In Garages, Basements, and Backyards.
Just as much fun as the magazine. Highly recommended.Jonathan Mahler: Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx Is Burning: 1977, Baseball, Politics, and the Battle for the Soul of a City
History of 1977 in New York City. I liked this although it's very ambitious in it's breadth. Is there any doubt that New York is the greatest city on earth? (****)Robert B. Cialdini: Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion (Collins Business Essentials)
Just fascinating, and lots of fun at the same time. (*****)David Zinczenko: The Abs Diet: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life
I can't believe this is a diet. The food they suggest is great!Michael Lewis: Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game
Great book for business people or sports lovers. How one of the poorest teams in baseball regularly beats the richest with a strategy based system.Jay Conrad Levinson: Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters : 400 Unconventional Tips, Tricks, and Tactics for Landing Your Dream Job
Strong stuff, advice not for those looking for work but those who want to actually get ahead rather than just get home. (*****)Peter B. Stark: The Only Negotiating Guide You'll Ever Need : 101 Ways to Win Every Time in Any Situation
Negotiating courses are big ticket costs. This book is one of the best you will ever read and it's layout means you can pick it up again and again for ideas. Great for entrepreneurs and small business executives who try new negotiating techniques in the real world.David Allen: Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
This book is life changing. I AM NOT KIDDING. David's ideas are so timely for knowledge workers and the new century. If you read one book for your career and life improvement this year, THIS SHOULD BE IT. (*****)Thich Nhat Hanh: The Miracle of Mindfulness
Thich Nhat Hanh has a great way of mixing teaching with story. He does so in all the books of his I have read. I think this book is particularly useful for those who are interested in mindfulness but not so interested in Buddhism. Certainly the concept of providing the focus and concentration you get from meditation within all areas of your life is very attractive and he provides practical tips on how to do this as a layperson. (*****)Richard Nelson Bolles: What Color Is Your Parachute?
He cares about people who are looking for jobs more than perhaps they do themselves. This book can help you take charge of the search and stop feeling any kind of reliance on anyone else. (*****)
