RE: When one can call oneself expert

most resumes look pretty much the same. Everyone knows everything. That is what the 25 minute technical phone screen is for... they turn into 5 minute ones when every answer is 'I dont know'. We have a 95% rejection rate on phone screens here. putting expert on your resume is for marketing purposes and gets people passed HR. I don't weed anyone out because of it and I do not put them to the top either. Nothing wrong with people marketing themselves. It's pretty easy to find out if its true.

its just a resume... and people need jobs.
