  • mcawiley Michael Wiley, Staffing Resource Consultant at Futurestep, a Korn/Ferry International company I've been recruiting for 16 plus years, mainly in IT and Engineering w/ 'mom & pop's' to Fortune 500 mainly. HR, Recruiters and many Hiring Authorities tend to get lost in the day2day issues of hiring and become NUMB if you will. I THRIVE on differentiating one's self from the rest just as your Manifesto did for yourself. I like it and agree as I've done something similar but not on quite as grand a scale but finding a new way to get my point across using technology. My ? to you is...How did you market this piece of information? 11 months ago

  • samveda Sam Borrett, Performance Coach, Mentor, Facilitator, Social Media Coach at Mentoring4Change David, I'm also an avid consumer of information, knowledge and of course wisdom comes ( or not ) with insight, grace and time. I think your Anti-Manifesto is beautiful and true. I'd say it applies to the essence of all mankind when truly in touch with themselves. I wonder though how the people I've met would view such a Manifesto. When you have been a self starter and non accountable to others for a long time, people see you as an outsider sometimes. For me it is work in progress. By the way have you had any direct luck in finding your dream job? Cheers C 11 months ago

  • davidcrandall David Crandall, Presentation Designer at Brand Super Power @douglaskarr Your points are great and if I worked with someone of your mindset, the 15% is a no brainer. Sadly, not many companies or CEO's have your mindset. While many CEO's are willing to pay a sales commission based on % earned for a company, I have encountered very few people willing to pay a % of money saved. There is a completely different mindset regarding money coming in verses money going out. Much of the work I do is in preventing money going out of a company (i.e. saving them money). But unless they implement the work I do, nothing happens. I'd much rather take the 6 figures from a client and move on to the next task/project/client than depend on someone else's diligence for my income. 11 months ago

  • douglaskarr Douglas Karr, CEO at DK New Media Loved this, but you lost me with repeating 'six figures'. I don't want an employee that's focused on income. I'd gladly pay you 15% of every $2 million you saved/generated... or I could pay you 'six figures' and I could walk away with the loot. Which would you want? It's all about setting expectations when you're hired. Cogs cost a set amount of money... people have value well beyond. 11 months ago

  • davidcrandall David Crandall, Presentation Designer at Brand Super Power @gregtstevens Thank you for taking the time to be constructive! I know it's easy to come off the wrong way through text only communication so I do appreciate it!! :D I will say that I totally agree with your points from a 'hiring manager seeking facts' point of view. However, I'm sure you'd agree that a half page bulletpoint list would never attract 47,000 eyeballs. I was going for sheer volume with this and treated it like a marketing piece, not the actual proposal (i.e. resume). Agree that there has to be something more substantial to follow this up if I want to be hired in a classic job setting, but sometimes creativity is needed to get in front of harder to reach people. As it is, this has turned into more of an attention-getter for my freelance business (which developed from the response to this piece). Again, thank you for being constructive!!! :D 11 months ago

  • gregtstevens Greg Stevens I left a previous comment that I deleted, because its tone was unnecessarily harsh. This time I'm going to try to be more constructive. This looks like it was a lot of fun to produce. It's also a lot of fun for lay-people on the web to look at, simply out of curiosity. But I've been in the position of a hiring manager before, and from that perspective, I don't think it's effective. Think from my (hypothetical hiring manager) point of view: I've got dozens or more people that I need to learn about in a short period of time. Even if I'm NOT looking for a 'cog', there are still some basic facts I need to know, and I need to be able to absorb that information in a single glance at a page (or a screen). Requiring me to click through a series of slides is not something that I (as a hiring manager) would ever put up with, ESPECIALLY when each individual slide has so little information. All of the info on these slides could be put into a half-page bullet list. Then I (hiring manager) could glance at it and IMMEDIATELY know what I need to know. With your slide show... it took me 30 seconds to get half way through. Anyone trying to recruit people will not spend that kind of time. Just my opinion, of course... thanks for sharing. 11 months ago

  • davidcrandall David Crandall, Presentation Designer at Brand Super Power @Steve_Saunders Thanks for the feedback. I think you may have missed my intent though. Never did I intend for a URL to end up alongside a stack of resumes. I believe that you are absolutely correct; in that situation, I would likely be ignored and forgotten. But we both know that even a 'normal' resume stands little chance of being noticed if placed in a stack. My goal was never to win the resume game. My goal was to play a different game. At this point, my anti-resume has been viewed over 46,000 times and featured on SlideShare and BusinessInsider.com. No resume I ever could have created would have had that much exposure over such a wide range of people and businesses. Instead of submitting to a few employers with my fingers crossed, I've been put in front of thousands of business people. While the ratio of responses is probably much lower than that of using a resume, the sheer quantity of exposures involved in that ratio has meant more contacts, more business opportunities, and more clients...and at no point was I restricted to a geographic location. When I created this in December, I had just lost my job and needed a way to provide for my wife and 3 kids. Instead of getting a job, I created a business that has provided for us this past half year. It was never the HR people that I wanted attention from; it was the people who make the big financial decisions. And those are the people who responded. TL;DR - I couldn't win the resume game, so I played a game I could win. 11 months ago

  • Steve_Saunders Steve_Saunders It's a nice idea David. Can't see it working here in the UK with the exception of perhaps design or ad agencies. How many contracts have you secured on the back of this slideshow? If you're applying for contract work, you ARE going to be a cog. And the last thing a client needs is a maverick component that will start behaving in unpredicatble ways. Conservatism is in the nature of business and people. Look at how conventional Google has become. If there is a pile of CVs on a desk, including your letter with a URL to a slideshow, how many people in HR will be bothered to have a look at it? I know how many that will be in the companies I've worked at! In the past I have added some unconventional (e.g. opinionated, controversial) attributes in my profile's skillset and experience lists to try stand out from the crowd. If these points intrigue somebody enough to call me in, then that is the kind of person I'd like to work with. Sadly, when initially screened by the dead hand of HR or the internal recruitment outfit, I doubt whether my profile gets to reach the right eyeballs. 11 months ago
