Resume racism, how recruiters really look at your resume

Resume racism, how recruiters really look at your resume Resume Racism What image does your resume portray? Resume Racism This week’s topic is Resume Racism. It will most likely bend a lot of readers but my hope is that it is an eye-opener for both candidates and hiring managers alike. The following is a topic that won’t get much airplay, even amongst my peers, but I need to air this laundry because I see this phenomenon effect candidates on a regular basis. I am not talking about misspelled words or typos, which will end a resumes career ASAP. Any HR pro-am will tackle that topic. I am talking about prejudice and racism that is interpreted via the resume, and this all happens BEFORE a face to face interview.     This past week, I have been collaborating on a resume with an uber smart candidate. When I say “uber smart”, I mean Ph.D., time at Cambridge, 40-under-40 recognition, bilingual, and entrepreneurial with a successful business smart. The whole nine yards, the “sick” kind of smarts.     After an online introduction, I met this candidate in person over coffee and found them to be articulate, presentable, social, and yes, a big brain without coming off like an intellectual with a Ph.D. from Cambridge. All good things for me. This initial meeting wasn’t necessarily an interview, but more of a “get to know each other” meeting. AFTER our meeting, the candidate forwarded their resume for review.       Looking at the resume from afar I liked what I saw. The document was well-balanced and filled the pages without looking crowded. Resumes have the potential to mimic bad art by appearing empty like a white modernistic interpretation or the opposite, overcrowded and busy. This one had great aesthetics.   When I started to read the document, I realized this candidate was not just accomplished, this candidate was VERY accomplished. The document was 3 full pages, great brands, a long list of honors both academic and professional, held a professorship at Cambridge, graduate of a well-known Ivy League school, blah blah blah. And I say those last three “blahs” facetiously. The entire document was filled with relevant information and all accomplishments were recent.   As I mentioned, I met the candidate in person and they could back up the entire document. Well spoken, great presentation layer, and obviously intelligent. In a nutshell, a lot of companies would love to have this candidate on their team.     Sound too good to be true? It was, temporarily. Throughout the document, I saw a number of yellow flags. None of these flags individually would nuke the candidate, but as a collective, these flags made a difference. Not just any difference, but even me, HRNasty, the magnanimous and open-minded recruiter would have had a hard time calling this candidate for a phone interview. Had I seen the resume first and not met the candidate in person, I am confident I would have had a prejudiced image. This candidate would probably have never received a call and the company would have missed out.   I was confident that other hiring managers and recruiters would look at the resume and feel the same trepidation I did. After looking at the resume, with even just a cursory glance, I was left with the impression that this was an angry minority, a strong-minded activist, or all of the above.  In other words, an HR nightmare.         Based on the position the candidate was applying for, this may be the desired image. If the candidate is looking for an advocacy position with a minority group raising money for a cause or charity, PERFECT!   The picture that came to mind was that of a downtown mob with riot police, Birkenstocks and fingers pointed in anger!   Our candidate was looking for a position in corporate America, and I am confident the resume would raise hairs on the backs of most hiring managers neck.   Hopefully, I dont picture this when I look at your resume Just a few of the words and phrases which were included in the resume: Ethnic Media                                                 Martin Luther King Celebrate (insert country here) Gender x of Power, Gender x    of Courage Advocacy Local Ethic Media Heritage Community Diversity Interactive Workshop Coalition   None of the above would have raised any flags individually, but as a collective, even I got a little scared and I am certified to facilitate a number of diversity classes. (This candidate is not looking for a position in Diversity)       The resume was creating an image and reinforcing prejudices and we hadn’t even met. The candidate I met in person didn’t give me the impression they were ready to go door to door for the next “we are treated unfairly cause”. The closer on the deal is that this candidate has an Ethnic sounding name, which implied that the skin color is something other than white. We are not talking a Schmidt or McHenry with this candidate. The name at the top of this resume is ethnic enough that the reader could wonder if English is the first language.       The ethnic name, above bulleted terminology, Ph.D. and graduating undergrad with honors from a California school that has a strong reputation for political science just makes for a quick trip to the recycle bin. The last thing I need to be known for is bringing in the candidate that resulted in anger management training for all ACME Publishing employees.       Horrible? Yes! HR embarrassment? Abso-f***in-lutely!     Should I be shot in the back of the head? Yes, with a sawed-off shotgun. This attitude doesn’t deserve a quick and clean single bullet. It should be slow, painful, messy and I get that.   The resume was “too ethnic”. I appreciate diversity just as much as the next guy and am certified to facilitate more diversity training than I will list publicly, but too much of a good thing is too much. Just because one Aspirin works, doesn’t mean 5 is better.     Am I making this up???   No. In my real life, I have a name that is often interpreted as “ethnic”. Now that I have worked in HR for a few years, I know better and have changed my name to something VERY Americana. Not just farmland Americana, but ICONIC and universally recognizable Americana. I am trying to present myself as a guy who grew up on Skippy peanut butter, understands baseball, and drives a Ford truck Americana. This profile has the least chance of raising any eyebrows because I am in HR and even I try to avoid the word diversity.   When a recruiter is faced with two resumes and they dont know how to pronounce the name of one of the candidates, guess who they are going to call?  Either put a nickname in parenthesis or add a pronunciation so the caller doesnt feel awkward about reaching out to you.   When I brought this up with the candidate, they IMMEDIATELY understood where I was coming from and were very thankful. There was no Askhole here, they knew EXACTLY the profile I had in mind and quickly changed up the resume. .   .   This candidate strongly suggested that I blog about this.           When I am looking at 50 resumes for a position, I am not just trying to see who is qualified and who can do well, but who will make it through all of the potential interviews. First impressions will set the tone for the interviews and resumes are the first impression. I do not want an interviewer going into the interview with a preconceived negative bias.   As much as I want the interviewer excited about the candidate, I really do not want them wondering or having any doubts about the candidate. There is a difference between approaching something with a neutral attitude and approaching it with an attitude of doubt and you need to prove yourself out of this hole.         Yes, we can all agree that HR and Hiring managers need to change their attitude.   Yes, we can all agree that the above attitude is pretty shitty. But you know the saying, shit happens. From an HR perspective, I appreciate diversity in the workplace. But this isn’t a blog post about how the business can do better with diversity or how a company is stronger because of an open-minded workforce.   Blah, Blah, Blah. The goal of this blog is to increase your odds to an interview and a job offer. The way to a more diverse workplace is to bring in more diversity, and a resume that doesn’t set off any alarms is the first step.   Here are some of the before and after bullet points that were on the resume and you can see the difference:   Before:  As a National Association of (Ethnicity X) American Professionals (NAXAP) board member, sold 25% of total ticket sales for 2011 Gala and brought in most new corporate sponsors in 2012. VS:   After:   Sold 25% of total ticket sales for a major fundraising event in 2011 and brought in most new corporate sponsors in 2012 for a professional development association.   note:  ethnicity has nothing to do with the accomplishment Before:   As a Celebrate (Ethnicity X) Symphony committee member, directly sold 8% of total ticket sales through Symphony for the sold-out 2011 Celebrate (Ethnicity X)! concert at the Staples Center and 10% of total ticket sales for the 2012 concert.   VS:   After:   Directly sold 8% of total ticket sales through personal network and business development efforts for a sold-out concert in 2010 and 10% of total ticket sales for a sold-out concert in 2012   note:  ethnicity has nothing to do with the accomplishment So don’t just worry about typos and formatting.   As much as that can create a negative prejudice, so can the content of the document.   As you create your resume, think about the image you are projecting and if it fits the position you are interested in.     See you at the after party, HRNasty   nasty: an unreal maneuver of incredible technique, something that is ridiculously good, tricky and manipulative but with a result that can’t help but be admired, a phrase used to describe someone who is good at something. “He has a nasty forkball.

Every single one of us didn’t have any job experience at some point. The key is to be realistic about your expectations for employment. For an entry-level retail resume or food service resume you wont even need one thats too formal. Instead, youll only be expected to complete a generic application. For other positions that require a resume dont worry, because writing a concise one-page resume is actually a positive thing. Without much experience focus on your educational section to fill the body of the resume. Including a targeted career objective in addition to additional skills should easily fill up a single page. Also, dont forget to include any part-time work and volunteer experience. Q. Should I write a personal statement on my resume? No, you should not! Recruiters are interested in your work experience, accomplishments, and skills. That is the information that really speaks to who you are, and what abilities you have. Q. Should I include my picture in my resume? You should absolutely not include a picture, unless you are an actor. Then you’ll need to include a headshot. Q. Can I include images in my resume? Do not include any images. It will make your resume look unprofessional, and also make it difficult for Applicant Tracking Software to read your resume. Q. How do I write a Career Objective? Career objectives are a very common way to target any resume to a specific industry and position and make yourself seem like a custom fit for the position. Writing a Career objective is as simple as reverse engineering the job description while mentioning your own experiences all in just a couple of sentences at the top of the resume, following the contact details. For example, if the job posting reads: Seeking an enthusiastic addition to our customer service department to manage and help grow our North American operations, then a good career objective to write for a resume being sent to this position might read: Experienced customer service professional with 8 years of industry experience seeking position to exercise management talent with high growth potential. *Remember, keep your career objective short, concise, and targeted to optimize its benefits. Never use the same career objective for multiple job applications, this could indicate that you are lazy, sloppy and unmotivated. 2. Interviews Q. Why havent I heard anything back from the jobs I applied to? There are several reasons: Your resume is unprofessional They already filled the position You are underqualified You are overqualified The company’s strategy has changed and they are no longer hiring The company is simply slow to action They are waiting for a larger pool of candidates to choose from You are being discriminated against If you are consistently not hearing responses from employers, it’s probably because your resume is unprofessional. If your resume is professional, you may be applying for positions that you are not qualified for. If you are qualified, you may be suffering from discrimination of some sort â€" especially age discrimination. Learn more about age discrimination law and what to do here. Tip When you do get the call to come in for an interview â€" dont be unprepared. Check out our list of best questions for the interviewer, so you know exactly what to ask to learn more about the company and role youre applying for. Q. Is it possible to get a job if your work experience is weak? Yes, it is possible. Resume consultants frequently say that your resume needs to clearly express your achievements. But what if you joined a company that had performed poorly thanks to external circumstances, and therefore left little room for you to achieve anything? Don’t worry. So long as you’re able to use your resume to communicate that you have the basic skills necessary to succeed, you will be fine. Your cover letter is another key aspect to convincing the hiring manager that you have what it takes to succeed in the position they are looking to fill. 3. Careers Q. Will listing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on your resume help you get a job? MOOCs are still in their baby stages, so there are those who would say “yes” and others who would say “no.” At Resume Genius, we advocate including this information if you feel that it is relevant to the job description posted by the hiring manager. We’ve heard of candidates applying for jobs related to coding and data analysis that including a MOOC class impressed the hiring manager, as it gave them a base of understanding that other candidates did not have. Other industries, or companies, may not be as impressed. Definitely do not include MOOC courses unrelated to the company you’re applying for. Your resume is not supposed to be a list of accomplishments; it’s a document selling your ability to do a specific job.

Type delete type What writers do (or Why Im editing my life)

Type erase type What authors do (or 'Why I'm altering my life') Type erase type What journalists do (or 'Why I'm altering my life') I'm right now taking a shot at a book venture, which clarifies why I wound up marathon watching recordings on Instagram the other day.In my silly looking, I unearthed a video of a writer addressing a gathering of journalists, where she concedes, to her own embarrassment, that she simply went through the day altering her presentation for the tenth time rather than writing.She stated, I went through three hours moving words around on a page, thinking I was composing. Be that as it may, I wasn't composing. I wasn't adding a word to my promise tally. I was hiding.The crowd applauded.This both enlivened and disturbed me. It roused me since I had actually quite recently done this that day: altering and re-altering the prologue to another book I'm composing with a companion. Also, I thought about now whether I had recently squandered my time.And it disturbed me since it appears to be childish. Some portion of composing isn't composing. Obviously, you can't finish a book in the event that yo u never move beyond a couple hundred words on a page. And yet, such an extensive amount composing isn't simply creation. It's curation. All great composing is reworking, they say.Type. Erase. Type. This is the thing that we authors do. Also, it can't be disregarded, stayed away from, or quickened. You put the words on the page, revise them, expel some of them, include more words, and sooner or later get something that looks complete.It's rarely truly completed, obviously. That is the excellence and catastrophe, all things considered, You can generally tinker and play with it, and many do just that.F. Scott Fitzgerald consistently hauled around a duplicate of The Great Gatsby with him any place he went, on the grounds that he was never completely happy with it, making steady notes and revisions to it until the finish of his life.Fitzgerald was constantly pursuing the perfect of his specialty and never discovering it. Possibly, as it were, we as a whole are.So how about we talk about that.In expansion to this blog entry, I likewise recorded a web recording to develop what journalists truly do. You can hear it out here.Why Grady Tripp couldn't quit composing (or when composing isn't writing)Recently, I viewed a film about authors called Wonder Boys. In it, the primary character Grady Tripp's first novel was a success, and now he is battling to complete his next book. A long time past cutoff time, he is continually affected by medications and liquor, and everybody thoroughly considers he's blocked.Turns, Grady isn't obstructed in any way. He's composed well more than 2,000 pages, pages about pony lineages and dental records and who realizes what else. At the point when an understudy gets him out for not settling on any decisions, he gets defensive.But at that point (spoiler alert) in an intriguing new development, he loses the composition. It flies out the window and goes straight into the waterway. A while later, somebody gets some information about, and Grady sa ys, I don't know.If you don't have the foggiest idea what the story was about, at that point for what reason were you composing it?Because, he concedes, I couldn't stop.Writing isn't just about gathering a word tally. It is tied in with saying something. Because you're composing doesn't mean you're imparting. What's more, since you're erasing doesn't mean you aren't making progress.Why everything must pass on before it very well may be rebornWhen you feel stuck, the most noticeably terrible thing you can do is stop. The second most noticeably awful thing you can do is prop up off course. This is valid recorded as a hard copy, and this is valid throughout everyday life. Altering is as much a piece of the creative cycle as composition.Making something isn't just about adding another piece to the bigger entirety. Now and then, it's tied in with removing something. Furthermore, we're not simply looking at composing any longer, are we?Lately, I've been reexamining a portion of my most pr ofoundly held convictions. As one companion put it, I'm taking some dusty thoughts off the rack, rethinking them, and choosing if I need to return them on the shelf.For some time, I felt awful about this until a psychotherapist/minister companion of mine clarified that all sound profound and passionate excursions follow a basic procedure of deconstruction and reproduction. Here's he portrays it: Thesis: First you think something. Antithesis: Then you accept something contrary to that something. Synthesis: Then you figure out how to accommodate the something with its appearing logical inconsistency. (Side note: Rob Bell has a truly intriguing digital broadcast on this concept here.)It is in an oddity that fact is found and regularly extended. We now and then need to obliterate what we've worked to make something better.Everything is continually consummation, and everything is continually starting. That was clarified to me the other end of the week when I had a companion kick the bucket, another companion reported he was getting separated, and another companion chose to find employment elsewhere and strike out all alone. All in a weekend.Endings and beginnings. That is life. And that is writing.The stunt, it appears, isn't to continue doing what you're doing. It's to alter. To inquire as to why you're doing it in any case. I'm as of now doing this with my life and my business, and my composition and it's unnerving as hellfire. Be that as it may, it additionally feels right. Since I realize a few things can't be conceived until different things die.Creation is consistently a demon stration of resurrection.How's the composing going?So when somebody asks you, How's the composing going? and you've erased a larger number of words than you've composed today, don't feel bad.Sometimes, completing is misrepresented (don't tell my companion Jon I said that).When you wind up taking a shot at that book and the word check doesn't match the objective, comprehend you are most likely more on target than you understand. You are accomplishing the work. Type. Erase. Type. Remember?Don't simply measure what you've done yet additionally what you're doing. The two of them matter. The key to accomplishing great work isn't just about intersection finish lines. It's tied in with running great races.Some races we finish, and some we just start. Be that as it may, the greater part of us got into this work not to store up a lot of decorations however for the delight of the run. Pretty much every extraordinary essayist passes on with an inadequate original copy, and perhaps this is as i t ought to be. They kicked the bucket doing what they cherished - not completing, however creating.Plus, no one can really tell what may befall those deserted and deficient works. I generally adored that Tolkien story Leaf By Niggle in which a craftsman goes through his whole time on earth dealing with a solitary artistic creation of a tree and never completes it.Then in the great beyond, he finds the tree as well all in all backwoods and a nursery for him to tend. What he started in one life, he had the option to finish in another. What's more, what he could just envision in one life turned into a reality in another.Maybe that is the manner by which it works. We pursue the perfect, and all our vain endeavors to make something measure up are only that - vain. Vain yet lovely and significantly increasingly significant: worthwhile.What better approach to go through a time on earth than in quest for the valid, the great, and the excellent? That is how I'm attempting to spend mine, anyw ay.Oh, and those Fitzgerald alters I referenced, the negligible tinkerings of an over the top fussbudget? All things considered, after the creator's demise, that old, increased duplicate of Gatsby was found. Also, the alters he caused finished to up in future adaptations of the book. So you just never recognize what originates from a work you start yet never entirely finish.This article first showed up on Goins, Writer.

Assume Responsibility for Your Skills Since individuals may now embrace your capacity to play out these abilities, you may wind up with heaps of supports for aptitudes on your profile that you would prefer not to keep utilizing. This is on the grounds that LI has recommended these to your contacts for support rather than you really picking them. You can without much of a stretch erase these. Here's the ticket: Stage 1: In Alter, after you've tapped on the blue pencil, you'll see the entirety of your abilities. Stage 2: If you click on the X to one side of the individual aptitude's case, it will be expelled. Simple peasy! 3. Assume Responsibility for Your Endorsements On the off chance that somebody has embraced you for an aptitude you don't wish to utilize any longer, compose the contact an email. Express gratitude toward them for taking the time, and clarify that you'd truly prefer to be known for an alternate expertise. At that point, courteously demand that they underwrite you for a replacement. Never damages to ask, isn't that so? Note: These abilities are bound to be recommended for underwriting if those terms are in your Summary or Experience segments, so compose those cautiously. 4.

In the event that you get a support and you are uncertain whether you should keep it on your page, you can without much of a stretch conceal it.
