The Web 2.0 Résumé

• By Marci Alboher
• Industry Resume Specialist
• A while ago, I blogged about spiffing up your
  résumé. Now I am
• starting to think the paper résumé may soon go
  the way of the eight-track tape, Betamax and the
  manual typewriter

The new 2.0 resume for the next 10 years
Tom, I am researching new 2.0 resume trends and
was linked to your social media resume during my
search.  I would expect as a CFO/CIO, that your
time is very valuable but should you have time to
respond, it would be great to hear about your
experiences with the new media.  Example Has
your response been positive from your new 2.0
resume or has the response rate (good or bad)
been difficult to manage?  Do you have a few
lessons learned from the process?   Your
feedback would be very beneficial.    Warm
regards, Daniel
Daniel,It has been very positive.  I also feel
good about the fact that I have a place where I
can keep things current and have all applicable
content in one convenient location.  While I am
not actively looking, should that time come I
believe I have a very effective and efficient way
to communicate my experience and skill set. Tom
Kelly CFO/CIO

DoubleStar survey
Reality for Corporate Recruiting Initiatives
The survey was sent to recruiting leaders and
decision makers in mid- to large-sized
organizations across all industries. (September
2008) The results are not a summary of best
practices but a snapshot of current actual
practices as they exist today.
95 of organizations are operating without a
dedicated sourcing function.

• 28 of organizations reported that their human
  resources dept were performing all of the
  sourcing. (70 of organizations were outsourcing)

Only 21 of organizations are using Web 2.0
tools for recruiting, with only 1 considering
themselves experts. LinkedIn and
industry-specific sites were reported as being
the most effective.
The biggest barrier to recruitment success are
the ability to find quality candidates and
process delays caused by internal hiring managers.

Clint Black (Identifying the pain)

• Put yourself in my shoes
• Hiring managers are busy people, hiring is not
  their primary job. They are looking for people
• That will require minimal training and
  supervision
• That will make them look good
• That will help them have shorter work days or
  allow them to focus on other things
• That will be low maintenance
• That will be loyal, dependable, hard working
• That will help them make more money and advance
  their career while making their life easier along
  the way
• The resume creates a hypothesis. The phone
  screen and/or interview validates or disproves
