18. The new 2.0 resume for the next 10 years Tom, I am researching new 2.0 resume trends and was linked to your social media resume during my search. I would expect as a CFO/CIO, that your time is very valuable but should you have time to respond, it would be great to hear about your experiences with the new media. Example: Has your response been positive from your new 2.0 resume or has the response rate (good or bad) been difficult to manage? Do you have a few lessons learned from the process? Your feedback would be very beneficial. Warm regards, Daniel Daniel, It has been very positive. I also feel good about the fact that I have a place where I can keep things current and have all applicable content in one convenient location. While I am not actively looking, should that time come I believe I have a very effective and efficient way to communicate my experience and skill set. Tom Kelly | CFO/CIO

53. Interviewing Tips

57. Structured Interview Preps Objective 1: Highlight applicable Skill Sets Skill sets are the primary concern for the Hiring Manager at the beginning of the interview and that quickly transitions to compatibility once the skills sets are identified. If you can’t communicate ( sale ) your skill sets as it relates to the job you’ll never get to the most important compatibility conversation. Candidate Positioning Question 1: Defining your skill sets: I’ve researched the company and reviewed the responsibilities; however, please give me an idea of what you need accomplished with this position say in the first 6 months to 2 years?

58. Structured Interview Preps Objective 2: Highlight culture Compatibility It is critical that you find common ground with the Hiring Manager as they not only want qualified people to work with; they also want employees they enjoy working with. People who have the same passions, goals and work ethics work well together! (Common Ground) Candidate Positioning Question 2: Communicating their Compatibility: As I’ve stated before, I’ve researched the company and position and I find it to be very compatible with my career goals. I would be very interested in how you would describe the company culture and why did you decide to work here?

59. Structured Interview Preps Objective 3: Communicate Interest Hiring Managers rarely make emotional commitments (Employment Offers) without knowing it will be received positively! It is important that you close the interview by letting the Hiring Manager know you are interested in continuing the relationship (even if you are not sure). It may take several interviews to discover all the facts about the opportunity and your goal is to make the SHORT LIST! Candidate Positioning Question 3: Communicating Interest in moving forward : I am confident that what you outlined today is very consistent with my career goals and qualifications; I am very interested in moving forward, what is our next step?

60. Structured Interview Preps Objective 4: Timely and Professional Follow Up Instruct the candidate to call you immediately after the interview and while the interview discussion is fresh on their mind. Should they want to proceed or not proceed, you’ll want all vital information back as soon as possible to help guide both parties in the next step. Remember, Time kills all deals and if you can’t get critical information back to your candidates or clients in a timely manner, they may move into “Plan B” and take the second best candidate or the second best offer.
