HRQs: Community Connect, Inc.

commconnectthumb.jpgThis company of online community destinations for multicultural audiences reaches out to those who'll thrive while contributing to team efforts, writes Rebecca Fox, who chats with Rochelle Wilson, Senior director of human resources:

What should a cover letter look like? Do you have any particular pet peeves when it comes to these? What's the surest way of discerning oneself as a candidate via the cover letter?

Cover letters should be short and sweet. NO TYPOS!! Tell us the value proposition for your candidacy versus any other candidate. Make a credible case and we will see you. Also, where did you find the opportunity? In addition to our employee referral program, we have data upon which we rely to determine where we should find talent by department and discipline.

What should a resume look like?

A resume needs to be easy on the eyes. We don't have time, or the inclination, to dig for pertinent information; bullet points, please. It should contain the month AND the year that you worked someplace. For those who submit resumes through their web site or URL, then make sure it doesn't take an eternity for the page to load.
