The resume would end up in the recycle bin if there is no key words found. On the other hand, it is nice to use the magic word in any type of communications in both verbally and writings.http://www.englishforums.com/English/CanISayThis/dlzrg/post.htm#306090Thu, 21 Dec 2006 16:54:38 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:306090discusmanOk, Thanks.

Let's use an example. In a conversation, one that is very sensitive to the language and tone the other person use even though the person didn't purposely present it. I'm talking about someone whom gets offended on very small matters. So vengeful may not be the right word for this.http://www.englishforums.com/English/IWordTermDescribe/2/dlcql/Post.htm#305790Wed, 20 Dec 2006 16:51:21 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:305790discusmanGrudge?

Not sure if it is the right one for me. However I can give you some examples of what I'm looking for in terms of the expressions in English. When people try to avoid the topic during a conversation - beating around the bush? When a new college grad who doesn't have any working experience and he/she is trying to find a job - He/she would say " I hope my wings fly".. On the other hand, when a person who has alot of working experience posts his/her resume on Monster.com and the person would expect to receive alot of job offers. The person would say something like this - Once I post my resume on Monster and the flut will come.
