JOB SEEKERS: LYING ON A RESUME WILL GET YOU IN HOT WATER

West Middlesex, PA: Job searchers can learn from the misfortunes of Robert Irvine, a British-born chef and presenter of Dinner Impossible on the Food Network. “Claiming credentials you don't have is a recipe for disaster,” says Jane Roqueplot, owner of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions, a local Career Advancement Firm.

”Job seekers are most likely to lie about things like their education or number of years they worked for a company -- and these are the easiest things to check,” says Roqueplot. “If you're not caught when the company checks your references, you will likely get tripped up somewhere along the line. And many companies have a policy to fire employees caught lying on their applications -- even if that's several years later.”

Lying on resumes is on the rise. An online survey conducted for the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) found that more than 60% of the 373 human resources professionals who responded reported finding inaccuracies on the resumes they review. Inaccuracies aren't necessarily lies, but anything that brings the job seeker's character into question is likely to end their chances for getting the job.

Irvine admitted that he lied about being a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order and exaggerated his role as a traveling chef for numerous heads of state.

”If the issue is the job searcher's insecurity about their qualifications for the position, there are ways to address the issue without lying,” says Roqueplot. “It's just not worth the risk when there are perfectly legitimate ways to position your credentials -- for example, your lack of a degree -- and still win the interview.”

Jane Roqueplot, CPBA, CWDP, CECC, is the owner and director of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions, in West Middlesex, PA. She has been providing behavioral analysis, professional resume writing and career coaching services since 1995 and is a member of the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches, Career Masters' Alliance as well as serving on the board of Career Directors International.

DEBUNKING THE MYTHS OF JOB SEARCH

Local Career Professional Gains Mastery in Complex Career Issues

Sharon , PA: Employment issues are hot topics in today's uncertain economic environment. Employment stability, off shoring, outsourcing, manufacturing job drain, and stubborn unemployment rates affect millions of Americans on a very personal level. As the conduit between employees and employers, career professionals career coaches, career counselors, resume writers, outplacement consultants, and others must be more educated, networked, and connected than ever before in today's fast-changing global economy.

As a leading Certified Professional Career Coach in the Shenango Valley area, Jane Roqueplot, CWDP,CPBA, owner of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions has recently returned from the Career Masters Institute annual conference in San Francisco, California, where she gained information on emerging career issues.

The three-day program, which was attended by more than 150 career practitioners, featured world-renowned authors and thought leaders, speakers, educators, and career industry leaders as conference presenters. The keynote speaker was Richard N. Bolles, author of the perennial best-seller ”What Color is Your Parachute,” who shared his latest insights on the Bridge To Success for career industry practitioners.

Other topics covered, which are particularly important to career services professionals and therefore to their job searching clients included:

* Debunking the Myths of Job Search

TAMING ON-LINE JOB SEARCH GREMLINS

Job seekers and employers, looking for efficient ways to connect, appreciate the convenience and professional presentation of web-based resumes

Sharon , PA: Email and the Internet have revolutionized business communication by enabling instantaneous transmission of documents to individuals who may be in the next cubicle or continents away. Snail Mail and fax have taken a back seat to the ease of sending documents with the click of a mouse; however, there are inherent problems when the sender computer and receiver computer are not using the same form of communication. No one knows this more than a person looking for employment and the employers, recruiters, networking contacts, and career transition professionals with whom they communicate.

An active job search candidate may send resumes to ten or more contacts each week. Unfortunately, in many instances what you see is NOT what you get. Jane Roqueplot, Certified Professional Career Coach and president of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions, professional resume writing and job search-assistance firm, and other professional resume writers around the country have found a solution to this problem. By using The ResumeSpotlight, an innovative web-based resume tool created by JaneCo's Sensible Solutions, a job seeker can be confident their resume gets the visibility it deserves.

”When transmitting one's resume over the Internet, any number of things can go wrong,” states Roqueplot. “If the receiver does not have the same word processing program, fonts, and printer configurations as the sender, the document might arrive with unusual page breaks, misplaced text, and dollar signs, question marks or other characters replacing bullets, hyphens, and similar punctuation marks. In the worst case scenario, the employer cannot or will not open the document at all.”

These common problems occur when one sends a resume via email. The difficulties are further compounded when the job seeker is instructed to copy and paste their ASCII or Plain Text resume into a job-board text box. With The ResumeSpotlight, a job seeker's resume is saved in four formats; MS Word, PDF, ASCII with line breaks and ASCII without line breaks and hosted on a unique website with 24/7 access from anywhere in the world.

According to Roqueplot, job seekers love the easy access to their documents through their own personal website and appreciate the professional look. They can include their ResumeSpotlight URL in all their email communication instructing the reader to click on the link below to review my resume and can print it on networking cards, cover letters and fax transmissions. When an ASCII resume is requested, “one simply logs on to their website, pulls-up the proper format, and copies and pastes it on the job board or in the body of the email,” Roqueplot explains.

Besides providing an attractive resume layout, necessary ASCII formatting, immediate access, and a dependable document storage system, a web-based resume tells the prospective employer that you are technologically-savvy and better prepared to tackle today's work place challenges. “With more than 9 million resumes floating around in cyber-space on any given day, anything a job seeker can do to outshine the competition is well worth the investment,” Roqueplot surmises.

Jane Roqueplot is the owner of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions. Jane is an experienced Behavioral Consultant specializing in career development, strategic job search tools including resumes, cover letters, networking cards, personal resume Web pages, and motivational seminars.

The JaneCo resumes were selected for publication as outstanding examples of powerful resume writing with strategies for those baby boomers who are typically at prime career performance levels and seeking increasing responsibilities, and for those looking for more meaning and/or balance in their work/life and seeking a career transition for that purpose, such as a career downsizing, a completely new line of work, a post‑retirement consulting career, part-time work, a new industry, etc. Other strategies were for the baby boomers returning to work after an extended absence, such as parenting, caring for aging parents, taking a sabbatical, recovering from an illness, etc.

CHOOSING EMPLOYMENT REFERENCES

Mansfield , OH: Everyone knows that the one of the toughest part of getting a job is getting the interview. In fact, most jobseekers focus their concentration on the perfect resume and cover letter, but tend to overlook the importance of employment references. Since people typically move around in their jobs, combined with mergers, downsizing, and a turbulent economy, it's easy to lose track of former supervisors, co-workers, and customers who can offer a glowing recommendation. That's why JaneCo's Sensible Solutions, a career development firm servicing the Mansfield area, is reminding everyone to take time out to re-evaluate and touch base with appropriate references; update their contact information; ask permission to continue to list them, thank them, and offer to serve as a reference as well. In some cases, you may even want to request a letter of reference for your portfolio. That document will certainly be long lasting.

Who makes the best reference? “There's a common misperception among job seekers that all references need to be former supervisors,” says Jane Roqueplot, owner of JaneCo. “If you were a manager yourself, it's in your best interest to seek professional references from co-workers and subordinates as well.” Jane also adds, “Don't forget former clients and vendors who dealt with you on a regular basis--that will give the hiring manager a holistic view at how you dealt with different levels of personnel.” JaneCo recommends providing the address of your web page resume or, at least, sending a copy of your resume to all of your references so they can be on the same page when the call comes in.

RESUMES FOR CAREER CHANGERS (JOBS BY CHOICE OR CHANCE?)

Sharon, PA: ”Many people are in jobs by chance rather than choice,” says Jane Roqueplot, owner of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions, a primary provider of professional Resumes and Career Coaching Services.
