When you automatically ditch the \"overqualified\" section, you're losing out on a valuable resource. Not only are these people usually motivated to move up, they can often bring new, fresh ideas to your company or design philosophy. They also tend to be more responsible and more productive.<br>2) Offer a competitive wage, or slightly below. Tailor this to the applicant. There's nothing worse when I was seeking a job than being told \"everyone gets paid xyz amount, regardless of qualifications, and that's what you get as well\".<br>3) Interviews don't hurt. Neither do reference calls. Yes, some resumes should be ditched when you first see them (60% or so). Usually I put 20% in a \"maybe\" pile, and 20% in an \"interview\" pile. Those in the \"maybe\" piles I usually give a mini-phone interview, call references, or give the resume a second look. It sounds like you're unwilling to put forth that effort.<br><br>You seem to want the \"perfect\" applicant to send you a resume... via CRAIG'S LIST.

Even if she's at the bar alone and is actually looking for some company, that's probably not a great way to get what you're after, unless you're an absolute stud/MIT MSc in CS. Even then, looking for a job is like looking for a wifey or husband - take some time to get to know them. Get familiar, get comfortable, then maybe get intimate.<br><br>Many (if not most or all) companies prefer to hire from within their own networks first, as well as from their customers/users/community. I think it's pretty natural to be more comfortable with someone that already has some exposure to your team or your products, or hopefully both.<br><br>So what do you do if you don't have any connections to a company? Build some. Use their products, read their blog (and comment!), participate in the community. Get involved in the conversation, or, if you can't find it, start one. No doubt you have many redeeming qualities that aren't captured in your work experience and resume; showing interest and asking questions is a good way to at least hint at a little depth.<br><br>I occasionally get asked for job advice. My first hint is usually to go to Startuply. My real suggestion is this: make a list of the companies, brands, and products that you use, like and admire. Seriously, write that shit down. Don't you want to work on stuff you think is cool, anyway? Then, start getting to know them better; read their blog, comment if you have something relevant to say (questions are great), and spend some time actually thinking about what they do. Try to conversate. Romance them.<br><br>My bet is that you can do a lot to increase your odds of getting your foot in the door, so to speak. You still won't get the girl every time, but you'll definitely have a better shot. Don't quit when it doesn't work, just keep expanding your circle of targets (I mean, someone has to work at Yahoo).

I personally think scanning a VisualCV instead of opening a Word doc, etc. would be a faster way to go through lots of resumes like this (granted, not everyone knows about it yet.) These are some excellent points you\'ve made here. Interesting that you had to weed through so many misfires, and that Craigslist alone produced so many applicants.</div>\

I posted an ad for a job on Craigslist a few months ago and received over 60 responses within two days. It took me a while to sort through them all and I conducted a 20-minute phone interview with the final three to decide on one. But had I received videos from a few of them, it would have made the process infinitely easier and probably would have taken half the time to decide.<br><br>Maybe there\'s a business in that.

Perhaps it\'s okay for certain types of job, but this is an administrative assistant position and I wouldn\'t expect it to be the norm.<br><br>Unfortunately, so many times on Craigslist or other sites, I see employers posting very generic descriptions of the company, sometimes in confidence and candidates are forced to work with it. My advice is do whatever you can to work with the information you do have. Make it easy for the company or recruiter to see where your skills are a match and don\'t make them think about it too much because it could cost you an interview. Your resume shouldn\'t be only about your duties and responsibilities - find room to demonstrate your value and share previous successes.</div>\

If you are expecting a carbon-copy clone of yourself, stop going to Craigs, and just flag it up to your navel-gazing Tweet, Feed worlds. Hold some sort of corny contest, humiliate people, it will be great fun. You hate resumes anyways.<br><br>Disqualifying for over-qualification is crazy, millions of reasons why -- career changer, breaking into a new line of work -- you will get better for the same price, plus they will do twice the work in half the time, and put in extra time and then some. Directly qualified will clock in and clock out. Plus, over-qualifieds are the career types, you say you want future career types, but then you reject those very candidates, claiming they are "over-qualified".<br><br>And most cover letters go unread, gets tiring for the job seeker to custom craft zillions of things that are almost always ignored. Hence, clearly state that cover letters are a requirement. And 99% of companies reject attachments out of hand, plus most have overcomplicated annoying Monster-like 2-3 hour applications.<br><br>From your list of demands, you want more of a Capitol Hill-like professional-level Admin Asst., $12-$15 ain\'t gonna get that. Price to the market. And get a true-believer cult-worshiper, as anyone else will go insane and quit.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9710476" class="dsq-comment-message">Thanks for an informative post. Was wondering about the free Hotmail bit. Most people tend to have accounts with free email service providers, so it\'s possible there could be an ad at the bottom. I\'m mostly ok with that as long as there is content in the email body as well :)<br><br>However, I\'m NOT ok with people sending me resumes from their current company email id. Shows they could be goofing off there, and could also land them in hot water with their employer as emails are scanned by the IT chaps.<br><br>Another irritant for me is people sending resumes to multiple job ids at different companies, which are all over the To: and CC: fields, addressed to "The Hiring Manager", and looking for a "suitable" opportunity, which says a lot !<br><br>Candidates MUST take prior permission from those they\'re putting down as references in the resume. I\'ve met several who just gave a sheepish grin when I asked about contacting their references after the interview.<br><br>Last but not least, show up for the interview !! I\'ve faced numerous such instances, and maybe jobs are aplenty out there, so that\'s ok. The problem is with candidates not showing up AND not having courtesy of informing me or even the agency that referred them, which damages their own reputation in the long run.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9710449" class="dsq-comment-message">I began using a web resume (built it using Typepad) more than 18 months ago after leaving a 12 year Traditional Media (radio) career, thinking it was a great way to stand out and display all sorts of relative content, but instead found it was too advanced for 90% of the companies I applied to.  Many times, I could tell the link to my resume was never clicked on.  They probably just printed out the word doc version I attached as a back-up and threw it on the stack.  But with a web resume, I can display digital content, links, blog blidgets, pictures, video ... anything and everything.  I thought that would count for something ... but I was wrong most of the time.<br><br>Mzinga\'s VP of New Media was hiring a few months back, and he did exactly what I\'d do if I was hiring:  he posted the position on his blog, Twitter and a few other social networks, and asked for people to contact him through one or more of those same channels.  Of course he was looking for people with Social Media chops.  But I thought at last, someone \'gets it\', that the old resume should be dead.  I didn\'t get the position, but it was refreshing to have the freedom to send a Linkedin Inmail, Facebook message, DM on Twitter - I think I even did a short Qik video - all pointing to my web resume, blogs and other pertinent info.  This is 2008, right?</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9710448" class="dsq-comment-message">Another note on "over-qualification" and "unqualified": within the last few years I\'ve noticed a strong tendency for job listings to have incredibly stringent requirements that basically amount to "unless you\'ve already spent at least five years working for us doing this job we want to hire you for, don\'t bother." I look at the listings that the company I work for now puts up, and can immediately see that even the person who previously had that job wouldn\'t be qualified to be his own replacement.<br><br>Of course if you know the person you\'d actually be working for and can bypass HR, or if the company is too small to have an HR department, great! However, I\'ve been working for the same company for so long that by now pretty much everyone I knew at other companies now works with me. That leaves me in a position where I don\'t have a chance at getting a job that reflects my experience, because the HR drone reading the resume will see that I have (to pick a random example) five years of CM experience using Perforce when they require five years of CM experience using Subversion and am therefore "unqualified."<br><br>I realize that in this situation you\'re supposed to just lie and fake it, but I have a problem with being honest when I\'m not supposed to be, so I get to chose between submitting resumes to jobs that I\'m unqualified for (but in reality could do perfectly well) or for jobs that I\'m entry-level jobs that I\'m over-qualified for.</div>\

You expect someone to submit a video resume for an entry-level $15/hr job? As a glorified secretary no less?<br><br>4) Test email clients?<br>- Again, it\'s an entry-level position. As an admin assistant. If the job responsibilities include vast tech-savvy computer knowledge, then I can admit allowing this for resumes. But since they probably don\'t, why should someone test emails on different clients?<br><br>5) Blog?<br>- Entry. Level. Position. Not everyone blogs. Not everyone has facebook (or wants to share it with employers, ie, not professional, it\'s personal). If you were hiring say a lead chemical engineer, yes, you could expect some blogs on the goings-on in academia or chemistry or research. Or maybe a facebook page on various projects. But you\'re not: you\'re HIRING AN ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT.<br><br>Here\'s my advise to resume reviewers:<br>1) Keep your resume expectations in-line with the job you are hiring for. When you automatically ditch the "overqualified" section, you\'re losing out on a valuable resource. Not only are these people usually motivated to move up, they can often bring new, fresh ideas to your company or design philosophy. They also tend to be more responsible and more productive.<br>2) Offer a competitive wage, or slightly below. Tailor this to the applicant. There\'s nothing worse when I was seeking a job than being told "everyone gets paid xyz amount, regardless of qualifications, and that\'s what you get as well".<br>3) Interviews don\'t hurt. Neither do reference calls. Yes, some resumes should be ditched when you first see them (60% or so). Usually I put 20% in a "maybe" pile, and 20% in an "interview" pile. Those in the "maybe" piles I usually give a mini-phone interview, call references, or give the resume a second look. It sounds like you\'re unwilling to put forth that effort.<br><br>You seem to want the "perfect" applicant to send you a resume... via CRAIG\'S LIST. Someone that lives to be willingly overworked, underpaid, and do it all with a smile on their face. Someone that is "overqualifingly" tech-savvy.<br><br>Personally, I think you\'ve set your own bar too high. I expect your turn-over rate for this job to be about 2 months... if you ever decide to hire anyone in the first place.</div>\

HR is not there to really hire, they are there to protect the company, gatekeepers rather than active seekers, and most are dumb as rocks in reference to the actual job, plus they treat people as subhuman (thankfully not quite as bad as temp agencies), direct hiring manager or nothing. HR is not there for you, will not help your career path, is not some independent group you go to with troubles. Plus you have to read between the HR lines, a company may have a work-life-balance program, but don\'t be so naive as to sign up for it, most of the time it\'s just for show.<br><br>And HR knows not software or any equivalents. Example...I had Vegas (+VASST scripts), AP, Avid family, Edius, Autodesk, (and later on FCP) experience, and they wanted some generic consumer something NLE, which I had no experience with, and didn\'t lie. But anyone who couldn\'t see that someone with Avid training, was more than capable of handling some generic consumerish Windows Movie Makerish NLE, shouldn\'t even be interviewing me. Took it as a sign the company didn\'t know what they were doing, and tried to pitch myself as a SME, but no, they were stuck on that one application. So they got some college-kid smuck who managed to screw up the project royally, reap what sow.<br><br>Then you get big companies that, have interview "procedures", Star or Six Sigma-like methodical spew. You have to copycat Simon-like memorize yourself through them. The idea is to branch out hiring to people who aren\'t used to hiring, sometimes it works, but most of the times it\'s so robotic as to be dehumanizing.<br><br>For every bad resume, there be an entire industry of screw-ups.

I would guess that one of the reasons why the quality of the resumes is so low is that the pay rate was laughably insubstantial for the Bay Area.  When I last temped in SF doing administrative work, my going rate per hour was $20.00.  As a TEMP.  In 2001.   Even here in Reno, NV I received $15.00 per hour working as a temp in an admin. asst (I\'ve changed careers, since then).  I would suggest comparing pay rates to what others in your field and your area provide, posting a higher pay rate along with he post, and see if the quality of the resumes improve somewhat.</div>\

Granted, you acknowledged that and I didn\'t catch the locale of your job opportunity, but under many circumstances in this job market, a prospect at that wage will be working more than one job and most likely won\'t have a whole lot of time to sleep, let alone blog -- assuming they can even afford a PC, internet access, etc.<br><br>As far as passion about the job - the potential applicant may be passionate about what they do, but don\'t have the ability to devote passion because they have to pay their bills, feed their kids, etc.  Perhaps they\'ve been laid off and quite honestly, will bail at the first sign of trouble, because loyalty is non-existent from corporate attitudes where money and shareholder appeasement is rule #1.  And let\'s face it, when heads roll, admin staff get pink slips almost always at the onset of downsizing, rightsizing, whatever you want to call it.<br><br>The dominating factor in this job market, especially for lower-tiered roles, is fear.  Fear of not being able to eat, to pay their bills.  As a media professional, I\'ve got my ear to the rail and things are bad.  I certainly don\'t want to appear that I\'m trying to "one-up" you, but I\'ve been working a lot longer than you and have seen a few recessions and this market is the worst I\'ve ever seen.<br><br>All that said - I don\'t disagree that you want to scope your prospects to make sure you\'re getting quality - which indeed is difficult to find.  Professionalism is a dying attribute.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9710505" class="dsq-comment-message">From my perspective, cold replying to a job posting is like walking up to a girl at a bar and just asking her to go home with you. Even if she\'s at the bar alone and is actually looking for some company, that\'s probably not a great way to get what you\'re after, unless you\'re an absolute stud/MIT MSc in CS. Even then, looking for a job is like looking for a wifey or husband - take some time to get to know them. Get familiar, get comfortable, then maybe get intimate.<br><br>Many (if not most or all) companies prefer to hire from within their own networks first, as well as from their customers/users/community. I think it\'s pretty natural to be more comfortable with someone that already has some exposure to your team or your products, or hopefully both.<br><br>So what do you do if you don\'t have any connections to a company? Build some. Use their products, read their blog (and comment!), participate in the community. Get involved in the conversation, or, if you can\'t find it, start one. No doubt you have many redeeming qualities that aren\'t captured in your work experience and resume; showing interest and asking questions is a good way to at least hint at a little depth.<br><br>I occasionally get asked for job advice. My first hint is usually to go to Startuply. My real suggestion is this: make a list of the companies, brands, and products that you use, like and admire. Seriously, write that shit down. Don\'t you want to work on stuff you think is cool, anyway? Then, start getting to know them better; read their blog, comment if you have something relevant to say (questions are great), and spend some time actually thinking about what they do. Try to conversate. Romance them.<br><br>My bet is that you can do a lot to increase your odds of getting your foot in the door, so to speak. You still won\'t get the girl every time, but you\'ll definitely have a better shot. Don\'t quit when it doesn\'t work, just keep expanding your circle of targets (I mean, someone has to work at Yahoo). You might meet some people, get a job, or even learn something in the process.<br><br>That make any sense?</div>\

Perhaps. But my experience is that the organizations with jobs like this don\'t have as much money to spend. If you\'re looking for a high paying, soulless job, go to Wall Street instead. Oh wait.
