Creating your resume can seem like a daunting task.  Deciding what information to include from your job history can make a big difference to recruiters.   Most people focus on what they need to include – but it is also important to make sure that you omit certain things as well.

Kim Isaacs, a resume expert who works for Monster.com, listed the following items that you should think twice about including on your resume:

• Exaggerations – “If it sounds too good to be true — it probably is.” That’s what employers are thinking when they read over-the-top accomplishments that sound fabricated. If the accomplishment is inflated, it doesn’t belong on your resume.
• Irrelevancies – It’s hard to let go of accomplishments that you are proud of, but consider omitting the ones unrelated to your current goal.
• Ancient History – Writing a resume is not equivalent to writing your memoir. Most employers are concerned about your recent positions, going back 10 to 15 years or so.
• Bias-Inducing Information – Deciding whether to include accomplishments that may expose you to possible discrimination is a very personal one. Gerry Crispin, SPHR, a recruiting professional and partner at CareerXRoads, a Kendall Park, New Jersey, recruitment consulting firm, generally does not recommend omitting important resume accomplishments, but says doing so is not a bad idea in some instances. “If the accomplishments give a clear indication of factors such as religion, race or age, I might find reasonable alternatives to describing them,” he says.
• Proprietary Information – Including quantifiable facts about your accomplishments is important, but it’s equally important not to reveal proprietary company information.

The main goal of a resume is to secure an interview – which has become more challenging over the years.

Keep these tips in mind when creating your resume to help you get a foot in the door. Check www.outrankcomjobs.com for more tips!

There’s no question about it: recruiting is an art. You can’t just throw one pole in the water and hope to catch the perfect fish. Effective recruiting requires a phenomenal understanding of your environment, your people, and what YOU are looking for in a candidate. It also requires, however, a catchy ad!

Posting to job boards like Monster and Craig’s List is the norm, and everyone does it. Their popularity ensures that a large group of people are exposed to your ad, but standing out among the pack can be a challenge. Here at Outrank.com we’ve found that focusing on attracting quality employees works the best.

Get creative with your ad. Most sites will allow minimal HTML so you can customize the color, size, and type of the font. Having an ad that is even slightly different can go a long way toward making your company stand out when recruiting online.

You should also be creative with the title. An interesting title can really catch the right eye, which has helped attract some great people at Outrank.com. Scam postings are usually easy to spot, but make sure that your title is concise and clear.

Let your audience know that your company thinks outside the box – that is a recipe for recruiting success.

At Outrank.com, we’re always interested in new developments in online recruiting.  Work For Us is a new application for Facebook Business Pages that allows potential candidates to apply for open positions directly from your company’s Facebook fan page. An applicant simply clicks the “Work for Us” link and is directed to an online application, which is then sent to your company. Interested candidates can also “like” your job post, thereby spreading the word to their friends.

Work for Us is the brainchild of Work4Labs, a start up funded by French investors Stephane Le Viet and Gautier Machelon. 2,000 businesses worldwide have already hopped on-board.

The cost is relatively low and varies depending on the type and amount of service you want. The service is free for the first 30 days and ranges in price from $9 to $500 (unlimited job postings) per month after that. For those businesses that can really see a benefit from hitting their Facebook demographic where they reside, this may certainly be something to consider.
