Green Recruiting

So people that have worked alongside me *know* that I'm all about having as paperless of an office as possible. I never print resumes, unless I have to take one into a face-to-face interview with a candidate, and I usually police the printer to enforce this practice with my colleagues, too! (Just kidding... sort of.) Seriously, it is unnecessary to print out all the resumes of candidates for our reqs - that is so wasteful. And when colleagues give me documents, or candidates fax (Stone Ages, hello!) resumes to me, I freeze... I *know* what to do with electronic documents - but I have absolutely NO idea what to do with hard copies! Technically I do, but I'm stubborn about wanting a paperless office, so I just refuse to create a paper storage system in my cube.

As the daughter of a chemical engineer in the pulp and paper industry, who financed my childhood and most of college, I should probably keep my mouth shut about conserving paper products... however, my concern for the earth's resources, including TREES, beautiful trees!, comes first.

One trend I happened to notice at a couple of the job fairs I have attended lately and really like, is that candidates brought me resumes that were double-side printed. How great is that? First of all, it tickled my green bone, and second, the practice stood out to me as pretty progressive thinking. Hopefully in about a year or so, this is old news, but for now, I'm singing the praises of this practice, and asking all of those candidates out there to please consider this practice when printing your resumes for job fairs. Better yet - how about double-side printing on recycled paper... Now that's an idea!

And for the love of trees, recruiter friends, please stop printing resumes. I promise if you give it a shot, you'll get used to reading them on the screen.... Please consider it?

Job Searching Through the Holidays?

I know that everyone thinks that employers don't hire throughout the holidays, but let me tell you how WRONG that is! I've been a recruiter for over 8 years now, and every year I expect for business to slow down during the holidays and EVERY YEAR I'm surprised. Maybe next year I'll remind myself of this blog post...

So for those of you that are seeking work - now is a great time to submit resumes for review, get hiring managers and recruiters on the phone, and set roots in place for your job search. Right now, I'm posting positions on job boards with the intentions of coming back January 3rd and having some great candidates from whom to choose!

And meanwhile, I have placed two engineers *this week* - so don't let anyone tell you that companies don't hire during the holidays - it's simply not true!

Happy holidays and good luck with your job searches!

Laid Off? So What?

I think all of us have been laid off at some point. Here are some tips on how to approach discussing such events at your next job interview... Miss Recruiter

How to Explain a Layoff at Every Stage of the Job Search

By Margaret Steen

Layoffs may now be routine in corporate America, but if you're unlucky enough to be left holding a pink slip, you probably have lots of worries. Among them: How will I explain this during future job hunts?

It's true that your layoff and the gap on your resume will probably come up, not just during the initial job search right after the layoff, but also during future job hunts. But it doesn't have to derail your search. The key, experts say, is to be honest about the layoff but to focus your communication with potential employers on what you can do for their company, rather than on your past. And when the layoff comes up, make sure you talk about what you accomplished during your time off.

Here's how to achieve these goals at all stages of the job hunt, in writing and in person:

Resumes and Cover Letters. Most career experts say you shouldn't mention a layoff at all in a cover letter.

"A cover letter is strictly to market yourself," says Marianne Adoradio, a career counselor in Silicon Valley. "'Here's what you're looking for, here's what I bring.'"

On a resume, you shouldn't say you were laid off, but you should try to account for any substantial amount of time you were out of work. Never try to bridge the gap between two jobs by using the wrong beginning or ending dates. Instead, focus on what you accomplished while you were out of work. Did you take a class? Do consulting work? Work as a volunteer?

On the whole, the less said in writing about a layoff, the better.

"Paper is two-dimensional," says John Haag, a career counselor at the University of Denver Career Center. "Face to face is a whole lot better."

Networking and Interviews. Face-to-face communication is critical, both in informal conversations with people while networking and in formal job interviews. This is where questions about your layoff will likely come up, and you need to be prepared with two answers: one about why you left your job, and one about what you did during the time you were unemployed.

"If it's the first time it happened to you, it's going to feel awful," says Libby Pannwitt, a career counselor and principal of Work Life Design Group in San Carlos, California. "You need to get over it and find the right words to talk about it wherein there were no bad guys."

The best strategy, Pannwitt says, is to craft a very short, matter-of-fact phrase: "I left in the layoff of 2002," for example.

In an informal networking conversation, discuss the layoff only if asked. Haag says the conversation will get off to a bad start if you open with, "I'm looking for work, I've been laid off." Instead, begin by asking intelligent questions and making a good impression on the other person.

"When it does come time for the person to ask you some questions, be forthright," Haag says. And don't use a "half-apologetic tone," he says. By that time you will have impressed your listeners with your interest in their work, and they won't care whether you were laid off.

Finally, be certain you're answering the right question. For example, Pannwitt says, if an interviewer asks "Why do you want to work here," your answer should be about how much you like the company and the job, not that you need work because you were laid off. "That isn't going to make the employer feel very good."

Recruiter Roundtable: Fashion, Grooming Tips

Recruiter Roundtable: Fashion, Grooming Tips
Yahoo! HotJobs

The Recruiter Roundtable is a monthly feature that collects career and job-seeking advice from a group of recruiting experts throughout the United States. The question we put before our panel this month is:

What is the one piece of fashion and/or grooming advice you wish more candidates would heed before going on an interview?

Get the Details Right

The night before the interview, lay out your wardrobe to make sure everything fits, is free of wrinkles and is current with today's styles. Also take the time to polish your shoes. While this may sound minor, showing up with scuffed shoes may signal to the employer you lack attention to detail. Finally, remember that the interview is not your time to make a fashion statement, so avoid tight clothing, limit your jewelry, and go easy on fragrances. The interview is your opportunity to show hiring managers how talented you are, and maintaining proper appearance will ensure they focus on your abilities rather than your attire.

-- DeLynn Senna, executive director of North American permanent placement services, Robert Half International

Accessorize With Mints

I wish more candidates would take a strong breath mint before their interviews. It may sound silly, but you would be surprised how distracting bad breath can be during an interview! Gum also works, but remember to discard your gum BEFORE the interview.

-- Bob Hancock, independent staffing consultant

What Are Your Revealing?

Look in the mirror: If too much is showing, don't wear it! While low-cut blouses or shirts are in fashion, most are inappropriate for the workplace, including the initial interview. The interviewer could possibly be distracted by the inappropriateness of the candidate's attire and therefore not focused 100% on the interview. This is unfortunate for both parties; the candidate may not be getting the positive reaction to answers they want, and the interviewer may be less apt to probe for the information they need to make a solid hiring decision.

-- Joelle Thies, staffing specialist recruiter, Wells Fargo

The Smell of Success Is Scent-Free

If your perfume or cologne enters the room before you do, chances are your scent may be interfering with your chances of landing the job. You'll see subtle signs from the interviewer -- he'll lean away from you, she'll wrinkle her nose or open a window. If someone on the interview team has allergies or asthma, and if you're meeting with them in a small room, your strong scent will be just the excuse they need to leave the room quickly, without them getting a chance to hear the details about the brilliant marketing campaign you developed at your last company.
The focus during the interview -- and afterward when the interview team gets together to discuss your interview -- should be on your accomplishments, abilities, and why you're the right person for the job. So keep it scent-free.

-- Cheryl Ferguson, recruiter, The Recruiter's Studio
