How To Handle A Resume Gap: A Recruiter Perspective
I have a confession to make. I have a gap in my resume. Fortunately for me it was during my collegiate career and not one that I need to address often. It certainly has not presented itself as an obstacle from a job seeker perspective in my professional career. However that is not always the case for all job seekers. Having a gap in a candidate’s resume can present a major obstacle even if there is justification.
Career counselors are divided into two camps when it comes to the best way for job seekers to address gaps in a resume. Some will say that it is best to make no mention of the gap at all, but rather place emphasis on the value that the individual will bring to the organization. Other will stress the importance of providing all the details regarding the gap in the resume. Not an apology, but an explanation that will make sense to a potential employer.
From a recruiter perspective- I have always gone with honesty above all else in tackling this issue. Continue reading “How To Handle A Resume Gap: A Recruiter Perspective”

The team at TwitterJobSearch is up to it again. I’ve written about these guys a few times because I like them. Genuinely nice people and the product just makes sense for recruiters. Twitter can certainly be an asset to recruiters but it’s often a detractor. The team at Work Digital are working to make some of these features more efficient for recruiters.
I spoke with Bill Fischer and his thoughts are: “We’re going through the popular Twitter tools one-by-one to build specialized versions for recruitment.”
Thoughts?
Using the same basic concept popularized by the Re-Tweet buttons now used by almost every major publisher and blog, the Tweet This Job button is designed to easily share job offers via Twitter.
- Provides a Small Button that can be easily added to each job spec,
- Creates a customizable Tweet utilizing best-practices for job Tweets,
- Builds a tiny URL that links directly to the job,
- Uses Twitter OAuth – to securely and quickly facilitate Tweeting
Tweet this Job not only makes it easy for employees and fellow job seekers to share a job offer with their friends/colleagues but it also demonstrates how common Twitter tools are being repackaged for industry specific usages. This button can put your jobs in front of millions of Twitter users, help them to be indexed to major search engines and all it requires copying and pasting a simple bit of code, found here.
By placing the Tweet This Job button on your job board, recruitment consultancy or company career site, you can use Twitter as a free distribution channel by utilizing the network of job seekers you already have engaged.
