"Doppelgänger" refers to any double, twin or look-alike of a person.

According to the 2007 US Census, each year there are more than 2.4 million new college graduates between the ages of 18 and 24. Did you realize that there are less than 300,000 new entry-level jobs available for them in their chosen careers? Even if there were 1 million new entry-level jobs for those recent graduates, the reality is that more than 50% of them will remain unemployed or under employed!

Now, factor in this reality: Today, because of the highest unemployment in decades, thousands of seasoned professionals are stepping backwards in their careers, taking almost any job they can find, in an effort to provide even the basic necessities for their families. Many of those jobs are the same jobs that, in the past, have gone to college graduates. In addition, statistics show that the average company receives over 275 applications per week for EVERY POSITION that they have posted. This is where the DOPPLEGANGER EFFECT applies. After just one day reviewing candidates' resumes, they all start to look the same, and it takes a 'standout' resume to capture their attention.
