Your Reputation Is Your Résumé - Technology Review | Effective Resumes | Scoop.it
Employers are screening for job candidates who have created a presence online. For many young people, that's a chance to shine.

Trish Sadar's insight:

Great article!  This is why I urge everyone to be careful what is on facebook and any other social media platforms. 

 

If a recruiter is having difficulties in choosing between two candidates....it may be your online presence that may make the difference in getting hired.

Employers Use Your Resume And LinkedIn Profile Differently

Employers Use Your Resume And LinkedIn Profile Differently | Effective Resumes | Scoop.it
Many job seekers make the mistake of assuming that their resume and LinkedIn profile are the same thing. … they’re not.
Trish Sadar's insight:

It is true that recruiters and employers use resumes and Linkedin differently. 

 

If a resume is filtered through an online application system, and is seen as a viable candidate.  Often the recruiter or employer calls the candidate to see if the person is still looking for the job and to determine their salary needs.  The next step often is to set up a screening interview.

 

Before I would send the candidate to meet with the hiring manager, often I would review the Linkedin and Facebook pages to get a sense for the person's professionalism.

 

The resume shows your experience, and the Linkedin profile and facebook shows your personality.  What are your thoughts?
