Posted by sucharith in Careers, Featured Articles, HR, How To, Recruiting, Social Networking on 03 27th, 2009 | 3 CommentsGone are the days where recruiters tend to just read resumes in Word Documents. Here are some very creative resumes (mostly designer’s) that will blow your mind.

Twitter’s HR Manager (Krissy Bush) recently sent out a mail CC’ing 186 candidates a Rejection Letter for a Business Product Managers Position (See the image to believe it 
).
PS: Do not ever attempt this Recruiters
This is the probably the worst mistake that I’ve seen in the recent past.
Subject: Business Product Manager Position at Twitter, Inc.

If you have been addicted to the Status updates on various Social Networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Orkut etc. – Beware! Employers are snooping and you could get fired because of “your Status updates”!
Here’s what happened to a British teen
That’s what happened to Briton teen, Kimberly Swann. She was summarily sacked after her boss learned — via her updated status — that she was “bored at work.” In this hilarious CNN segment, a journalist does a search for the terms “bored” and “work” on Facebook and Twitter, and finds that Swann certainly isn’t alone. (Further research would no doubt dig up folks saying far worse things about their place of employment).
Her boss, meanwhile, says Swann’s admission of boredom revealed that “she just wasn’t happy here” and thus “it wasn’t going to work out.” We’re no experts, but why was the boss perusing Facebook on company time? Was he, perhaps, a little bored?
