As a recruiter, I have seen some cute resume tricks in my day. Some are witty, some are dry, some are even downright lame. But, as the online career search industry grows and evolves; so does the technology to separate the quality Candidates from the chaff.
The Career Journal has a terrific article about the tricks job-seekers pull to get their resumes noticed. Some of the more common types:
- Using white font to embed keywords into the document
- Making the font so small that it appears to be a desing element, such as a solid line
- Embedding keywords in the <HTML code> of an online resume
HR professionals think this is deceptive; career coaches say all is fair in love, war, and job searching. This is your chance to weigh in. What do you think?
Let me know by leaving a comment. Has corporate HR made the job search process so complex that we must employ trickery to get their attention? Or, does this amount to innovation and creativity that should recognized and not demonized?
Where do you stand?
