The document provides tips and advice from HR professionals on job searching, resumes, interviews, and the hiring process. Some key points include:
- Resumes should be tailored to each job and use keywords from the job description. They should generally be one page unless otherwise specified.
- Who you know matters, so networking is important. References should be provided upon request, not included on the initial resume.
- Thoroughly research the company before an interview and make sure to pronounce the interviewer's name correctly. Body language like a firm handshake makes an impression.

Content Is Your Competitive Advantage in RecruitingJames Ellis
Have you wondered why the best talent, the whales of your industry, seem to slip through your fingers over and over again? Or worse, why they don't even know your name? Invest all you want in an employer brand or EVP, but without content, you are shouting in a lonely room.
There are many ways to "break into" an organization, despite the efforts of Human Resources. This presentation explores multiple ways to get past HR and in front of the hiring manager.
Hate the idea of networking? Most of us do. Here a tips to re-frame and rethink the whole networking experience. And learn a formula for developing a killer "elevator pitch"
If you, like the rest, want to nail these first few seconds, there are few skills psychologically and statistically proven to help—skills anyone, including you can learn.
Spring 2014 Interviews with Leading Thought Leaders and AuthorsRoger Parker
My name is Roger C. Parker, and this slide portfolio describes the latest in my ongoing series of nonfiction author interviews.
During the past 10 years, I've interviewed over 500 authors of business, marketing, and personal productivity books. My goal is to better understand the DNA of successful nonfiction books in order to help my clients and Published & Profitable members write their own books and tell their own stories.
These interviews offer you an opportunity to hear today's the the authors of recently-published, bestselling marketing and business books describe their background, their books, and their journey to publication.
Each author has a different story to tell about the origins of their book, the benefits it offers readers, and the lessons they learned planning, writing, promoting, and profiting from their latest book.
As you'll see when you visit the Published & Profitable blog, the recordings are available for later playback, and I usually prepare mind maps showing the table of contents of their later books. Often, I offer transcripts of these recordings.
Each of the books teaches important lessons; lessons that can help you become more creative and/or productive, and lessons that can help you in your journey to writing and publishing success.
I welcome your comments at Roger@publishedandprofitable.com

Ringling College of Art & Design: Content and Social MediaAutumn Sullivan
Had a wonderful conversation with students from Ringling College of Art & Design. What is, and what isn't, content, tips on strategy and creation, and how social media marketing works (and how it doesn't).
1. Get a job! Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIG4_GNHHHg&feature=related
2. How to pass a Pre-employment Personality Test Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxImKkbM9jE&feature=related http://www.ehow.com/how_4446746_pass-preemployment-personality-test.html
3. The Resume “There is a myth out there that the resume has to be one page. So people send their resume in a two point font. Nobody is going to read that.” HR director at a financial firm Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
4. “Resumes don’t need color to stand out. When I see a little color, I smirk. When I see a ton of color, I cringe. And walking in and dropping off your resume is not longer seen as a good thing, It’s actually a little creepy.” Rich DeMatteo ~ HR Consultant Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
5. “Most of us use applicant tracking systems that scan resumes for key words. The secret to getting your resume through the system is to pull key words directly from the job description and put them on. The more matches you have, the more likely your resume will get picked and actually read” Chris Ferdinandi, HR professional Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
6. “We will judge you based on you e-mail address. Especially if its something inappropriate like kinkyboots101@hotmail.com or johnnyliketodrink@gmail.com” Rich DeMatteo Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
7. “When it come to getting a job, who you know really does matter. No matter how nice your resume is or how great your experiences may be, its all about connections.” HR director at health care facility Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
8.
9. “Once your unemployed more than six months, your considered pretty much unemployable. We assume that other people have already passed you over, so we don’t want anything to do with you.” Cynthia Shapiro, author, Corporate Confidential: 50 Secrets Your Company Does Not Want You to Know Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
10. MYTH #1: I can use the same resume for multiple job targets “It is understandable that you may qualify for multiple positions or be interested in pursuing alternate careers. If so, try to create a customized resume for each job target. When it comes to a resume, never follow the “one size fits all” approach.” http://www.saicareers.com/resumes_and_cover_letters/top_five_resume_myths_exposed.html
11. MYTH #2: Make up that degree -- no one will know “Lying on a resume is the worst mistake a candidate can make. Even if you pass the background check (very unlikely considering how sophisticated background checks have become), a savvy employer will discover the deception within days, if not sooner.” http://www.saicareers.com/resumes_and_cover_letters/top_five_resume_myths_exposed.html
12. MYTH 3: UNUSUAL IS CREATIVE. “To a potential employer, unusual resumes serve more as a warning sign than a sign of your creativity. Employers are looking to hire someone who will be a part of the organization—unusual resumes are often interpreted as a sign of nonconformity or strangeness. When it comes to your resume, let your qualifications and accomplishments do the talking.” http://www.welcoa.org/membership/ten_killer_myths.pdf
13. MYTH 4: A PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS. “Not in this day and age. Submitting a photo with your resume puts a potential employer in an uncomfortable position—putting them at risk for violating Equal Opportunity legislation. In fact, many organizations have made it a practice of not interviewing those who submit personal photos.” http://www.welcoa.org/membership/ten_killer_myths.pdf
14. MYTH 5: MY REFERENCES WILL SPEAK FOR ME. “For the most part, references do little but take up valuable real estate on your resume. The key purpose of a resume is to attract enough attention to gain an interview. References will come later (at the point of extending an offer). At this point, qualifications are key.” http://www.welcoa.org/membership/ten_killer_myths.pdf
16. “Its amazing when people come in for an interview and say “Can you tell me about your business.” Seriously people, there’s an Internet. Look it up.” HR professional New York Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
17. Don’t just silence your phone for the interview, turn it off! Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
18. “If you have a weak handshake, I make a note of it.”SharlynLauby Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
19. “Know how to pronounce my name , even if you have to call and ask the receptionist before you come in.”HR Executive in New York City Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
20. “If you’re a candidate and the hiring manager spends 45 minutes of the interview talking about himself, the company, or his Harley, let him. He’s going to come out of the interview saying you’re a great candidate.” Kris Dunn Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
21. “One time I said to candidate, ‘Tell me a little abut yourself.’ An hour an a half later, I was afraid to ask question #2”SharlynLauby Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
22. “Never tell us you were fired from you job. Your resume will automatically go into the trash. In 90% of the cases……we have no way of finding that out.”Cynthia Shaprio Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
23. Some Favorite Interview Questions Tell me about a time you had to work with someone you did not personally like. How much do you know abut our company? Tell me about a time your personal integrity was challenged. What was the situation, and what did you do? Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
24. “Yes, we do look at your credit as part of our background check. And if you’ve got a bankruptcy or if your credit score is below 650, you’ll have a hard time getting a job.”Cynthia Shapiro Couch, M.,"50 Secrets Your HR Person Won't Tell You" Readers Digerst , April, 2011
