Mass resume sending now? or wait until after my trip?

I've learned not to mass send resumes. Each one has to be lovingly individually hand crafted like the tiny literary gem it is

There's no harm sending a resume or two or 2,000. Just don't leave them on the office fax machine. And be prepared to explain why you're leaving a current job (in other words don't diss your current employer. HR people talk and go on the same club rides).

A sad fact especially with so many great hard working folks out of a job now through no fault of their own is that hiring decision-makers want people who are employed. Some ads even say right up front that's a requirement.

The best time to look for a new job is while you still have a job. So look now, and enjoy your vacation.
