Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen in attendance here at the famed Madison Square Garden and to fight fans watching around the world…
.
Let’s get ready to R-U-M-B-L-E!
.
And now the opponents for this 10 Round brawl for the Heavyweight Championship of the BUSINESS World:

In the corner to my right wearing the green trunks, it’s…

The Resumé.

.
He’s a veteran of the job–search circuit. He’s been around for a long, long time. Despite a great won/loss record, his detractors say his time has come and gone…that he’s over the hill. He’ll be looking to prove himself tonight!
As far as dexterity goes, he’s pretty static and reactive: send him out when you see a vacant job and wait. And wait. Send him out un-solicited and he’ll probably end up in the trash!
In terms of style, there’s not much to say. Hope he gets noticed among the hundreds and hundreds of others just like him in the Human Resources Dept. Inbox.
As far as vigor goes, he’s updated once, twice, maximum three times per year. With him, it’s a constant battle to remain timely and relevant.

And in the corner to my left, wearing the blue trunks, it’s
.
The Business Blog!

He’s the "New Kid On the Block." Seemingly out of nowhere he’s appeared. His mantra: "A business blog is the 21st Century’s new resume!"
In terms of dexterity, he’s proactive, getting himself into the Blogosphere and practically screaming for attention! Whereas his opponent is sent out to those who request him, the blog draws people in with presence and savvy use of his partner Social Media.
As far as style goes, he’s practically bursting at the seems with fresh ideas and content. He displays acumen, insight, wisdom and knowledge and uses tips and advice to prove he’s the person to turn to in his field of expertise! What a reputation he’s been establishing!
Energy and vigor? He’s updated up to three times weekly with new postings. He’s dynamic and exciting, always demonstrating something new from his repertoire. He’s a virtual magnet for prospective clients and customers.

"Gentlemen, when the bell sounds come out and touch gloves. I want a clean fight…"

…Fans, it’s been a hell of a fight so far…the bell rings for Round 6 and we’re underway…
.
…Resumé with a jab and a hook that misses. He looks tired…his energy looks to be sapped.
.
It’s Blog countering with a solid right to the jaw. He’s obviously been updated recently…he looks very strong!
.
Resume with a wild "hay-maker" that misses the mark as Blog ducks under it…
.
Blog moves in with a right jab…and another…and an uppercut which ROCKS the champion. Resume’s down! He’s down!
.
It’s the ref with the count. "1…2…3…4…the champ is struggling to get to his feet…8…9…10!"
.
It’s OVER! It’s OVER!
.
…Let’s go to our announcer Bud Wilkins for the official decision.
.
.
.
Ladies and Gentlemen…the fight ends by knockout at two minutes and six seconds of Round 6…for the NEW Champion of the Job-Search World…
