One other note on resumes – I put less stock in resumes than I do in a series of questions at the bottom of ads or automated email responses. I'm more interested in how the candidate's accomplishments tie to the client's expectations of results. These are rarely described in sufficient detail on a traditional resume.

In a decade of opening every file imaginable, I have never caught a virus. However, I am obsessive about keeping my virus software up-to-date, frequently running a spyware program, making sure my firewall is on and active. Also, I never click on a non-common file format, particularly executable files like exe files. The comments about virus scares are silly if you've got the latest protection.
