Is It OK to Edit a Candidates CV

Is It OK to Edit a Candidates CV When reviewing CVs, adapting applications prior to submitting them to employers, has become common practise for most recruiters. But as a recruiter should you be amending information on behalf of a candidate, or is it better to submit the CV a candidate created with no rewrites? Reflecting on a balance between minor tweaks and CV overhauls is key to knowing whether you’re helping to boost a candidates details, or actually hindering their chances later in the recruitment process. Below we are discussing whether editing a candidate’s CV is the right practise to implement into your CV sift. Do you have their permission? Prior to making any amends to a candidate’s CV, you should be looking to seek their permission. If they aren’t willing to agree to any changes then you should either look to submit their CV as is or give them suggestions on how they could improve their CV themselves. If you aren’t able to reach the candidate for any reason, then potentially look at only making minor changes that don’t alter the overall context of the CV. For example, adjusting any grammar mistakes or looking to add headers/sections to help vital information stand out. But it’s important to know where to stop, and knowing the fine line between tidying up a CV and completely rehashing it, is essential. If a candidate is happy to accept changes, then go ahead and help them put their best foot forward with an engaging and attractive CV. Consider following up with the candidate to make them aware of what changes have been made, especially before any client interviews. This will help ensure that they aren’t caught off guard in a future interview if the employer brings up any of these changes. How much are you changing? If you are going to edit a CV, make sure you aren’t completely revamping it. The experience and qualifications a candidate entered should not be adjusted, but elements such as formatting or highlighting key strengths are acceptable changes to make. You should only be looking to better what is already there, fine tuning details but not starting from scratch. Lying in a CV is a complete no-no, and especially when updating a CV on a candidate’s behalf, you shouldn’t be elaborating the truth just to make them fit a role. You can help candidates customise their CV, but remember honesty is key. Any lies you input, will only get found out later on, and this will not only look bad on the candidate, but it could also look bad on you as the recruiter. Can you wait for the candidate to do it? Your first instinct should be to go back to the candidate, giving them an update as to why you’re looking to amend their CV. Let them know whether they can better format their details or if they need to provide more context in a certain area. If you are able to get a candidate to update their own CV, this will help to ensure the CV properly reflects the candidate, keeping to their tone of voice and helping them better describe their CV during interview stages. You need to consider the time frame you have available to submit their application, giving the candidate a deadline to come back to you with amends. This will further let you assess a candidate’s commitment, are they willing to make these tweaks in time, to get the job. Would talking to the hiring manager be better? Whenever you submit a CV to a hiring manager, it’s crucial to follow up on their application with a conversation, discussing the candidate’s strengths and potential shortfalls. It can be difficult to articulate a candidate’s potential just through a CV, so it’s best to discuss the candidate over the phone and answer any of the hiring manager’s questions before they jump to conclusions. Think about whether it would be best to alter a CV or instead, speak directly with the hiring manager to give them an overview as to why you’re putting this candidate forward for their role. Communicating the reasons why you believe they’d be the ideal candidate for the job. Linking their skills to the specification verbally could be easier than adjusting a CV. Would finding another candidate be better? This is an important question to consider when you’re looking to alter a candidate’s CV. Reflect on what details you’re looking to change and if you’re trying to make their experience appear more relevant for a role, then maybe another candidate would be a better choice. If you’re looking to amend far too much information, then you might just be setting up a candidate to fail, as the CV you submit won’t be entirely them. You need to weigh up the options, and in the long run, finding a more suitable candidate might be the best choice.

10 ways to impress an employer, from industry insiders

10 ways to impress an employer, from industry insiders With over 80 applicants for every position on traditional graduate schemes, it has never been more important to stand out, in both the interview process and the first few months on a new job. But what’s the best way to get your prospective employer or brand new boss to notice you? Turning up for your interview in a red velvet suit? Memorising the entirety of the Financial Times? Bribery? In search of answers, we went along to the Enternships Career Fair at Campus Party, held all this week at London’s O2 Centre. Amidst the hackathons, gaming sessions and astronomy talks, we sought out some industry insiders to dish the details on what they were most interested in when looking for a new employee. So listen up â€" here are the ten tips to help you bag (and keep hold of) that career of your dreams. 1.          Be confident (but not too confident) Brodie Houlette, CEO of private social network Collability, definitely looks for confidence in prospective employees, but warned us against the dangers of getting complacent in an interview having been unimpressed with overly confident candidates in the past. 2.          Be enthusiastic A word that cropped up frequently amongst our industry insiders was “enthusiasm”. And â€" unlike confidence â€" it seems you can’t have too much of it. Karolina Mikolajczyk, Administration and Recruitment Assistant at Ve Interactive, explained that, first and foremost, she looks for real passion for the job in potential employees. 3.          Do your research According to Matt McNeill at Sign-Up.To, too many candidates let themselves down by not reading up on his company beforehand. “The number of people that come in and see us and they haven’t even bothered to take out a demo of our platform â€" when that’s completely free to do on the website â€" just astounds me”. Hear that, people? Do your reading! And not just the companys Wikipedia page. 4.          Talk about your hobbies and interests Brodie Houlette likes to ask interviewees about their interests.    â€œTo me, I like to hear about hobbies because they tell me a lot about a person. They give you a broader picture.”  Don’t be afraid, in other words, to show that you have interests outside of your career. Just make sure you don’t delve too deeply into your Harry Potter obsession. 5.          Think outside the box When hiring new staff, CEO of Thumbtags Ian Baron looks for people who can think outside the box, going on to explain “Because we’re a young start-up, it’s all hands on deck. You’ve got to be pitching in on different things, having crazy ideas”. So next time you’re in a meeting, go right ahead and pitch that “out there” idea â€" even if it does involve cyborgs. 6.          Be sociable Daumantas Dvilinskas from TransferGO is always keen to see “not only the professional side but the social side” of prospective employees, and stresses the importance of seeing how a person relates to their peers. Houlette similarly places a great deal of emphasis on being sociable, claiming that â€" no matter how impressive your skills set â€" if you’re not a people person, you won’t go far in his company. 7.          Show that you’re flexible Being flexible and open to change is a hugely important quality in a potential employee, according to Rahul Ahuja from TaskHub, who explains that he is looking for people who are “always learning, on the go, all the time”. 8.          Work independently Ahuja is also impressed by employees who act upon their own initiative, and don’t wait around to be told what to do. “Set your own deadlines and projects and work towards them,” advises Ahuja. 9.          Flaunt your skills Though many positions will list a certain set of skills within their candidate specification, Karolina Mikolajczyk thinks it’s important for interviewees to talk about broader talents â€" even if they might not seem relevant. 10.    Don’t tell your interviewer they’re wrong! Though this one might seem a no-brainer, it has happened to Houlette before. There’s nothing wrong with having an opinion, but maybe keep schtum until you’ve got the job, alright? Thats all we ask.

Predictions for LinkedIn Users in 2018

Predictions for LinkedIn Users in 2018 LinkedIn has changed a great deal since first launching over 10 years ago. With it now being used by professionals around the world both job seeking and hiring, it is important to know what changes might be coming to the platform in 2018. We offer predictions to watch for in the coming year with only two weeks left in 2017.1. The Ability to Publish WebinarsWith all the changes to LinkedIn over the last few years, it still has the lowest active user rate compared to other major social media platforms. Only 25% of LinkedIn’s nearly 500 million users actually visit the platform on a monthly basis.In order to give users more reasons to come back and visit LinkedIn, they will need to focus on helping professionals become more knowledgeable in their fields or help them increase their chances of getting hired.LinkedIn already has one-million people publishing and sharing over 130,000 posts per week. The next form of published posts has to be webinars held on LinkedIn that keep users activ ely engaged with their network and prospective connections. Webinars are still a very strong way to build thought leadership, connections, and meaningful relationships.2. Greater Focus on Professional UsageOne of the common trends of LinkedIn in 2017 (and a trend it was criticized for) were people using LinkedIn in a similar fashion to Facebook. LinkedIn will look to return to what made it so special in the first place: The social media platform for professionals who would rather be social for the purposes of getting a job or networking.In order to avoid continuing on the path of being a Facebook clone for some users, LinkedIn will have to provide users with the ability to show their network when they are available for meetings through the platform itself.The prediction here is that professionals may be less likely to use LinkedIn like Facebook if their views and thoughts can affect a person’s career progression. If you are scheduling job interviews and meetings through a LinkedIn calendar, it may be better to keep the Facebook posts to yourself.3. Live Videos Will Be a Part of LinkedInLinkedIn currently allows users to upload videos to their posts. Given the popularity of videos on other social platforms, LinkedIn will follow this trend and give professionals the ability to go on LinkedIn live for video.Businesses that do product launches or announcements and professionals looking to share news or information will be able to talk about it live on LinkedIn.4. The End of Bad “Guru” AdvicePeople looking for work can only live in a state of agitation for so long. It has been known for a long time that much of the advice you see on LinkedIn by self-proclaimed “gurus” is a representation of “what they wish”. It does not, however, represent what is “happening” in the job market.As more and more people try advice from gurus with no luck, the more they will be outspoken about how and why it has failed. What will make a comeback? Advice that represent s “the reality” of job seeking, recruiting, and growing a career. This advice will tend to be more hard-hitting, edgy, and direct about what employers and companies are doing today, not what people hope they do in the future.Although this may read as possibly negative, this change in behavior will lead to industry professionals becoming more business savvy about landing jobs, interviewing, networking, and communicating. At the end of the day, “gurus” that offer poor insight will be ignored for coming across as delusional or disconnected from the needs of their network.

7 Vital Career Resolutions You Should Make for 2012 - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

7 Vital Career ‘Resolutions’ You Should Make for 2012 - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Part I of II Parts Editor’s Note: In this the first of a two-part series, international best-selling job hunting book author and professional “headhunter” Skip Freeman examines some key career moves employed job seekers should resolve to make in the upcoming yearâ€"if they want to land their dream job in 2012. In Part II, Skip will examine the resolutions unemployed job seekers should consider making in 2012. Most of us make at least a few “resolutions” every New Year, and a few of us even keep some of them! As we enter 2012, which is shaping up to be another challenging year for the job market, I would like to suggest the seven most important “resolutions” you should seriously consider making for the New Year, if you are currently employed but don’t exactly wake up each work day and head off to your “dream job.” If you’re like seven out of ten currently employed people and have just about had it with your present job (and/or employer) because you’ve been doing the work of at least two (and possibly three or more!) people, have received little or no raises in several years, are feeling more and more  put upon, unappreciated, etc., then NOW is the time to ACT! As the late Steve Jobs so cogently (and presciently) pointed out, “Life’s fragile.” So seize the day and then seize the opportunity to pursue your dreams for a better career and a better life in the 2012 job market! The timing couldn’t be better. Why do I say 2012 appears to be a good year to make the move toward your dream job? Consider this: Manpower’s most recent quarterly “Employment Outlook Survey” (December 13, 2012) says, “(2012 looks to be the) most promising U. S. hiring outlook since 2008.” (The survey was conducted among 18,000 employers.) In parallel, 1.1 million people quit their job last month to head to anotherâ€"the most in a decade. This is what we “headhunters” call “the churn.” That means, in part, that job openings are plentiful, but not because of additional positions being created, but rather, because of “the churn.” So, if you are ready to make the leap to your dream job in 2012, here are the seven New Year’s resolutions I suggest you make (and keep!): 1.    Brand yourself as someone who can make a company money, save a company money, or both. Like it or not, companies are not in the business of hiring people! Never have been, never will be. They are in the business of making money. If they can make money without hiring you (or anyone else!), be assured that they will. Instead, they may use their money for increased automation, improved technology, leaner manufacturing, streamlined processes, etc., etc. Here is what a vice president of a $60 billion firm recently told one of the recruiters in our executive recruiting firm: “There are only two types of people. Those who make you money and those you have to pay for. We want to hire the first type and get rid of the rest.” Brutal? You bet, but that’s still the way it works in business today! Or, let me put it another way: That’s the way it better work in business today or the company simply will be out of business! What are the implications for you, the job hunter? Go back over the last, say, five to ten years of your career, identify and then quantify the monetary contributions you have made for your current company, i.e., how you have saved the company money, made the company money (or both). Articulate the results in dollars, numbers and percentages. If there is no easy, efficient way for you to reconstruct this information, then you absolutely need to start “keeping score” today, right now! 2.    Define, specifically, both what it is you are interested in and what you’re good at. Many of us spend far too many hours at work not to enjoy what we do. Nonetheless, that still is definitely the case with millions of the currently employed. Therefore, to begin your move toward your dream job, first determine, specifically, what it is you are most interested in doing on a new job. Chances are, that probably will also be the thing you are best at doing! But remember, just being interested in something won’t get you where you want to go. You definitely have to be good at it or no company will pay you to do it! Next, you will want to define, in writing, your strategic objective. (Usually, just the mere act of putting something in writing makes it more “real” and better focuses one’s attention to it.) For the sake of illustration, let me give you examples of the strategic objectives formulated and used by three candidates who were recently successful in landing their new dream jobs!: Be in public relations, in the music industry, in Nashville, TN. Target senior sales/strategic business development positions in chemical companies providing raw materials into paint and coatings, located in the Midwest. Use my creativity and imagination in advertising, PR or marketing with a “fun” company in the United States (Click here to check out this person’s creative, unique approach to landing her dream job!) 3.    Create an inbound marketing plan. To land your dream job in 2012 you must be both findable and relevant. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that you always have to go looking for a new job. With an effective, well-designed inbound marketing plan, you can literally have potential employers (and “headhunters,” corporate recruiters, et al.) coming to you! In the “old” job market, the adage used to be, “It is not what you know but who you know.” In today’s new job market, that adage has morphed into this: “It is not just what you know, or even who you know. It’s who knows you and can you be foundâ€"and are you relevant to their hiring needs?” (See bullet number 1.) You might be surprised to learn that, despite the constant “doom and gloom” emanating from the media, many companies today are having difficulty filling key positions, and have been for quite some time now. If you are like most people with jobs today you probably don’t have the time to actively look for a new one. However, you must at least take the time to position (brand) yourself as findable and relevant if you want to successfully land your dream job in the new year. How do you begin building your inbound marketing plan? As an absolute minimum you need to make sure you have a strong presence on these sites: LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com) ZoomInfo (www.zoominfo.com) â€" ZoomInfo is the second most used website by recruiters (Click here to learn more about this important job candidate site.) Jigsaw (www.jigsaw.com) Google â€" own your Google profile. http://profiles.google.com Why these sites in particular? “Headhunters” (as well as corporate recruiters and others in the employment industries) visit these site every single business day in their constant search for new, top job talent! 4.   Build strong relationships with “headhunters” in your professional niche NOW! Remember, the time to think about filling a well is not when you are about to run out of water, or even worse, when you have actually run out of water! This same principle strongly applies to the job market, especially today’s job market. Don’t wait until you are about to lose your present job, orâ€"far worse!â€"until you have actually lost it, to think about your next career move. This is where a good, reliable “headhunter” comes in. I suggest that you establish professional relationships with three to four “headhunters” in your professional niche at the earliest opportunity. (How about today?!) (Check out these three links to learn more about how to work with a “headhunter,” as well as what he/she can do for you: Branding Yourself to be ‘Headhunted’; Want to be ‘Headhunted’? Here’s How!; and Becoming Part of a ‘Headhunter’s’ ‘Inner Circle.’) While it’s true that only three percent of all jobs are filled by “headhunters,” it’s significant to note that “headhunters” also know about the “sweetest” opportunities in the marketplace, as well as many career opportunities that are never advertisedâ€"anywhere! Whom are we going to call first about these opportunities? The people we know and those with whom we have an ongoing professional relationship! Of course this “resolution” also becomes part of your inbound marketing plan. Remember this: The odds of your calling a “headhunter” and he or she having that perfect opportunity available when you call are really quite low. Therefore, it is crucial that you start building an ongoing professional relationship NOW with recruiters in your niche so that they will know about you and will proactively call you. 5.   Become visibly involved within your industry and/or professional specialty. Now is not the time for staying “hunkered down”! It is critical today for you to achieve maximum visibility within your industry and/or professional specialty! Become a “hub,” an industry expert, the “go-to” person in your professional circle. Join organizations within your professional specialty. Become an active participant in appropriate LinkedIn groups. If a company is looking to replace its vice president, are they going to advertise the position? NO! If you are branding yourself as a highly visible, impactful, contributing member of your profession, YOU will be among the ones directly contacted by the hiring manager, the corporate recruiter or the “headhunter” for that “once in a lifetime” opportunity. 6.    Do not continue think (and believe!) that pre-recession career/job hunting methods will work in 2012. As I point out in “‘Headhunter’ Hiring Secrets: The Rules of the Hiring Game Have Changed . . . Forever!, the “old” rules of the hiring gameâ€"and that’s how you need to look at hiring, as a “game”!â€"are no longer applicable in today’s challenging job market. The fact of the matter is, in today’s job market there really are two sets of rules: The rules companies want you to think you have to play by (which benefit only the companies); and, the new rules that you need to play by if you want to land your dream job! (Each week, in this blog, http://www.personalbrandingblog.com/author/skip-freeman, I keep you up-to-date on what works in the current job market. How do I know? As a “headhunter” I am in the job market each and every business day, so I know  what actually works, as well as what clearly does not work!) 7.    Enter 2012 with the full realization that company loyalty no longer exists (if indeed it ever really did!). Company loyalty to employees is long gone, if it ever genuinely existed at all. Companies today really don’t care if you are on the unemployment line. They really don’t care if you and your family have health insurance. They really don’t care if you can feed, clothe and house your family. Sad, perhaps, but nonetheless true. So, look at it this way, keeping an eye open for better career opportunities for yourself really is no different from the company keeping an eye on its bottom line and determining, each and every month, whether you are worth it to them to keep you on the payroll. Doesn’t make any difference how long you have been on the job, or what your position within the company may be! Don’t you be lulled into a false sense of security on your present job. Don’t you believe that you simply are part of some big, happy  â€œfamily” at work. Don’t you believe, for even a second, that your current position is “safe and secure.” It’s not! If you want to find a “company” that you can be loyal to, here is one: Yourself!

How Will You Know if Your New Boss Will Crush Your Soul

How Will You Know if Your New Boss Will Crush Your Soul When you’re interviewing for jobs and evaluating potential employers, it’s important to figure out whether working there would kill your personal life. How do you know if an employer will respect your out-of-work interests and responsibilities? Lucy English, PhD, a sociologist and thought leader on work and life success, gave me three tips to uncover how supportive your new boss will be of your work/life balance. Look closely at the policies and programs offered. You may not have kids yet, and you may not even be planning, but if the employer offers child care benefits, it’s a good sign that they recognize that employees need support to be successful in life outside of work. Other benefits look for include elder care support, flexible scheduling, maternity and paternity leave policies, tuition reimbursement and other career development offerings, and wellness programs. There’s always a lot of information to take in, and you’ll be focused on the job itself, but if you force yourself to take time with the materials from HR and understand how the organization works to support you as a whole person, you’ll be glad later. Listen carefully to what’s said in between the formal conversations in the workplace. You’ll be on-site in an interview capacity, but there will be moments in hallways, waiting areas, and before and after meetings when you should listen as carefully as you do when you’re in interview conversations. Do people greet each other in friendly ways? Do they chat about life outside of work? Do they seem to know each others’ partners’ and childrens’ names? These may seem like small things, but when you hear people chat about personal matters at work, it’s a good sign that the workplace welcomes employees as whole people. English has consulted in organizations where people never displayed pictures of the kids on their desks and avoided talking about personal matters because it was viewed as unprofessional. Pay careful attention so you avoid that kind of employer. Have the confidence to ask the boss about things that are important to you up front. You can do so without necessarily tipping your hand, but if something matters, then you’d better find out the answer now. For example, expectations about responsiveness outside of work hours can vary enormously from one employer to the next. If protected personal time is important to your mental health, then find out what the culture is like at your prospective employer. You can ask in a way that positions you as a responsive team player. For instance, you could say “I tend to turn off electronics to concentrate on my family on Saturdays. Is the culture here one of staying connected during off hours? I’d want everyone to know that they could call me if they really needed to reach me. Does that fit with expectations?” If asking a question like that gets you dinged on the interview, then you don’t want to work there. The job search is a stressful and overwhelming process. You may be tempted to simplify your decision based on the job duties themselves, the prestige of the employer, or your feelings about a few people you meet. While these are all important, you should also take time to take in the broader landscape and consider whether working there will allow you to have the kind of life you want outside of work.
