"Totally agree with Paul! When I get a resume that did not sync with the profile I have second thoughts about the candidate. I can understand why you might want to exclude some information on the online profile, but when I get a resume…"

Bill Schultz replied to Melissa Zentgraf's discussion 'What does a good "recruiting" resume look like?'"I don't think you even need a resume. Just call the places for whom you'd like to work and tell them you can recruit and you're breathing. That should do it.
If you're looking for internal roles, maybe you need more."

I kind of feel like the shoemaker with no shoes today.I've been approached by a few firms lately and while I'm not ready to do that just yet, it does occur to me that not having a resume available is not really a good idea. At the very least I can have it to show to to potential clients.Since I came into recruiting quite by accident, I didn't have a resume when I was brought on by the group I'm with. What are the types of things that need to be on a resume for a recruiter? And how can I…See More

Melissa Zentgraf replied to Amber's discussion 'LinkedIn Account Upgrade?'"I did the full business, but then again it's my primary sourcing tool at this point. If I was paying for other services, I probably wouldn't. I find more value from the job slot than I do the inMails. Either way, it has…"
Melissa Zentgraf commented on Gavin Redelman's blog post 'What Does Your Email Address Say About You'"This is a checklist point for me; if it is unprofessional, I will not contact the candidate. You would be amazed at the level of candidate that breaks this rule.

Kathy replied to Melissa Zentgraf's discussion 'Titles and Degrees: Obnoxious or Necessary?'"My immediate reaction is that this Mr. Smith is pretty pompous and, most importantly, unaware of what IS important to highlight on a resume.

Sounds like your wife worked with Dr. Evil.
Your wife’s experience reminds me of another dynamic on this whole issue of "titles" and Melissa’s mention of the “obnoxious” factor that may be in play. A…"

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I've read too much Lynne Truss. Maybe I just need to get over myself and get with the program.
But I can't. I love language and expression and to see…

Hello. My name is Melissa and I'm a recruiter.
Hi, Melissa!
I've been recruiting for about nine months now. I had a friend who got me started on this and now I'm hooked!
But I've got some problems. First, I'm new. Second, my friend who got me into this sees this more of a "lifestyle business" than a career. She doesn't want to pursue new clients or work on orders that are, you know, actual work. Third,…
