I took the high road today.  It was tough but I did it.  I received an unsolicited resume from someone yesterday and I read his opening paragraph (of 7 with bullets, mind you).  I then opened his resume and forwarded it to someone who might have a position for the individual.  Did I go back and read the rest of his extremely long email?  No – I got an UNSOLICITED resume and I have work to do.  In fact, I had three customers with emergencies just after I received his email.  So he was not a priority. On a whim, I sent him a question.  Turns out, he answered the question in paragraph 5 which he was quick to point out in his response.

As you may recall, I walk Fritz every morning and get to watch Fritz manage his business and for the record, in his business I am strictly support staff. See if these apply to your business! 1.
