Facebook’s Four Principles for Success

There are a lot of stereotypes of millennials. Many perceive them as high maintenance and needy, and companies are struggling with how to manage this generation as it enters entering the workforce.

Not so with Facebook. It has millennial DNA, and as the company’s Molly Graham points out, “We see the qualities that make up those stereotypes as a good thing.”

They are all in line with Facebook’s values:
  • Build trust
  • Focus on impact
  • Move fast
  • Be bold
  • Be open
They’re all critical values for fulfilling the four core principles of Facebook, Graham told me.

Principle #1: You Can Make Anything Better
At Facebook, they don’t believe that problems ever get “solved.”

A good example of this was Facebook’s launch of their photo product. They launched it in an incredibly competitive environment among products that seemed to have every conceivable feature. But they felt they could improve the photo viewing experience, which they did, through the tagging of people. As a result, Facebook photos is the most popular photo application around, according to Graham.

Principle #2: Fast Failure Leads to Fast Learning
“You have to try something in order to learn from it,” says Graham. “Most great things are the result of several previous failures.”

Facebook employees are hungry for feedback. They always want to know how they can get better. That means fast learning is essential. It may be high maintenance, but that results in a drastic rate of change.

The model is simple:
  • Try it
  • Collect feedback
  • Make it better
  • Repeat
Principle #3: Ownership is Essential
The company will be better if people feel a sense of ownership of the outcome. Everyone should feel like it’s their company. But commitment doesn’t just come through stock,  Graham points out. It comes through openness.

Openness is prevalent throughout the company. There are no cubicles and even Mark Zuckerberg’s office is just glass walls. With openness, people feel that they’re part of the conversation. It’s in Facebook’s DNA to share information.

Principle #4: Work is Personal
Millennials are looking for work that has meaning. They want work they can to devote their life to. That has become very obvious as employees happily work on weekends and participate in hackathons that start at 8 p.m. and don’t finish until 8 the next morning. Staying up all night working is a Facebook employee’s idea of fun.

Iif you like the people you work with, work goes faster and makes you happier. And the sheer nature of Facebook–which shares personal information–allows people to avoid the formal introduction process.

Search string for resumes on DICE


Boolean Search: Funny Name, Effective Tool
George Boole, a 19th–century British mathematician, didn't have any inkling about the Internet, but his theories are the foundation for smarter searches of the web and databases. A Boolean search connects a string of up to 25 keywords with commands and symbols that help sort information and deliver more precise results. To pinpoint your ideal candidates and make your job easier, try a Boolean search the next time you search the Dice resume database.
Here's how to use Boolean commands and symbols when querying resumes.  Examples of a search string are highlighted below.
AND 
Oracle AND Java locates resumes that include both of these words.
OR 
Oracle OR Java locates resumes that include either Oracle or Java.
AND NOT 
Oracle AND NOT Java locates resumes where the word Oracle appears but the word Java does not.
Parentheses: ()
Parentheses group words or phrases together. (Oracle AND Java) AND NOT programmer locates resumes with the words Oracle and Java, but not programmer.
Quotation Marks: " "
Use quotation marks to search for words or a phrase in exact order. "Oracle Database Administrator" will only find resumes containing those three words in that exact order.
Wildcard Symbol: * 
Use the asterisk as a wildcard symbol to replace one or more letters at the end of a word to help you find variations of a word. Develop* will find resumes containing the words: develop, developer, developing, development, etc.

How to search resumes on Google

Search string for resumes on Google
Targeting Resumes
When using Google to search specifically for resumes, it’s a good idea to begin by searching for the word “resume” in the title and/or the url of web pages.
For example: (intitle:resume OR inurl:resume)
Here is a sample result to illustrate how this works – we can see the word “Resume” in the blue TITLE line, as well as in the green URL line. The first line of any search result is the title of the webpage, and the url is the specific web page’s address.
Targeting the word “resume” in the title and/or url is very handy, because for many people, it’s simply common sense/instinct to either title the web page containing their resume with the word “resume,” and/or save their resume using the word “resume” in the name of the file.
Eliminating False Positive Results
A “false positive” result is a search result that contains your search terms, but does not match the “essence” of what you are actually trying to find. For example – if you’re searching for resumes, there are many sites that will be returned in your search results that are in fact not resumes, such as sites advertising resume samples and job postings that mention phrases such as, “submit resumes to…”
In order to remove most non-resume false positive results, you can use Google’s version of the Boolean NOT operator, which is the minus sign, to prevent your search from returning results with words such as sample, job, etc.
For example:
(intitle:resume OR inurl:resume) -job -jobs -sample -samples
Other ideas of terms you can try to eliminate that may return false positive results:
-eoe -submit -free -”resume service” -template -”resume service” -”resume writers” -”resume writing” 
Targeting Local Resumes
Area Codes
Some people who decide to make their resume available on the Internet also decide to publish a phone number. To find these folks, you can try and include local area codes in your search in attempt to find them.
Here is my favorite blog code lookup site
Here is an example of a search using area codes to target people who live in Northern VA:
(intitle:resume OR inurl:resume) -job -jobs -sample -samples -”resume service” (703 OR 571)
What you’ll notice, however, is that searching for area codes can easily produce false positive results, as can be seen in the screenshot below – which are the first 4 results from the search. Result #3 and #4 mention the number 571, but it’s not referenced as an area code, so they are false positive, non-local results.
To clean up the false positive results that mention 571 or 703 but are not of resumes of people who live in VA, you can add the state and state abbreviation to the search as well as exclude more non-resume terms and phrases:
(intitle:resume OR inurl:resume) -job -jobs -sample -samples -template -”resume service” -”resume writers” -”resume writing” (703 OR 571) (VA OR Virginia)
While there are still a good number of non-resume false positive results, this can be expected because we didn’t even search for any keywords/skills. Once we do, we will notice a significant drop off in false positives.
For example:
(intitle:resume OR inurl:resume) java oracle -job -jobs -sample -samples -template -”resume service” -”resume writers” -”resume writing” (703 OR 571) (VA OR Virginia)
Zip Codes
Another way to search for local resumes is to target a zip code radius.
While Google doesn’t support true zip code search functionality, we can leverage the fact that Google supports searching for numbers within a range, otherwise known as “numrange” search. You can perform a numrange search on any sequential (low to high) set of numbers by typing two periods between the numbers without any spaces. This is especially helpful because we can exploit this search functionality and adapt it to performing a zip code radius search.
For example, take your target zip code and use this handy zip code radius lookup application, which you can use to search for zip codes in a radius and sort the zip codes within the radius from low to high.
Using a central zip code of 75201 in Dallas, TX and targeting a 20 mile radius, we can use that zip code radius application to get a range of zip codes from a low zip code of 75001 to a high zip code of 76155.
Using Google’s numrange search syntax, here is an example of a search string targeting people within a 20-mile radius of 75201 in TX:

Java (intitle:resume OR inurl:resume) -job -jobs -sample -samples -”resume service” 75001..76155 (TX OR Texas)
Sample results: you can see the zip code search worked beautifully:
Be Aware
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when searching for local resumes:
•         Not everyone will publish a phone number on their resume
•         If they do publish a phone number on their resume, it could be a cell phone with a non-local area code if they relocated from another area – this is why is can be helpful to search for zip codes as well as area codes
•         If they don’t publish a phone number at all, they should at least mention a city and/or state
Targeting Resumes That Are Not Titled As “Resume”
Although plenty of people do title their resume or the web page containing their resume with the word “resume,” there are some people who don’t. After searching for all of the results that DO contain the word “resume” in the URL or title of the web page, you need to try to eliminate them from future search results using Google’s NOT operator, the minus sign, to specifically target the results that don’t mention resume in the title or URL. For example:
-inurl:resume -intitle:resume
Don’t be tempted to try and write that as -(inurl:resume OR intitle:resume), because Google will not read that search string in the manner in which you intend. Instead of eliminating results with the word “resume” in either the URL or the title, Google will in fact will do the exact opposite. Click here to see the sad reality. Sorry Google.
Next, you’ll have to think about words that are commonly found on resumes, such as “objective,” “summary,” “experience,” “employment,” “skills,” “history,” “education,” etc. Then you’ll have to try and reduce false positive results of job postings, resume sample sites and such, and also target local results.  Putting it all together, your search string could look like this:
Java -intitle:resume -inurl:resume (objective OR summary) (experience OR history) education -job -jobs -sample -samples (301 OR 240 OR 410) (MD OR Maryland)
First page results:

Analyzing the Results
We can see that the first result is essentially of a resume, yet the person saved their work history as “biodata.” See?  Some people don’t use the word resume.  
Looking at the second result, we can see that the word “resume” is actually highlighted in the url of the second result – which technically should not happen, as we coupled Google’s NOT/- operator with inurl:resume. Yet more proof that Boolean search does not = Internet search.  That’s 2 strikes, Google.
The third result is definitely not a resume – it is a LinkedIn directory by name, within which is at least one positive hit on our search terms.
When You Stray, You Pay
While there are no doubt resumes on the Internet that do not mention the word “resume,” anywhere within them, I have found that when you stray from targeting the word “resume” in web page titles and URLs, you can quickly find yourself swimming in a sea of false positive results, which is a huge time drain. I believe the 80/20 Pareto principle solidly applies here: You will get 80% of your viable results from targeted resume searches and the other 20% from searching without targeting the word “resume.” Likewise, you can easily waste 80% of your time trying to sort through the sea of false positives in order to dig up the 20% of resumes that do not mention the term.
Conclusion
I’ve provided you with a quick overview of how to effectively utilize Google to search for resumes on the Internet. Be aware though - all is not perfect in when hunting for resumes in Google land – if you have not already, please read these 2 posts: The Internet has Free Resumes – So What?and Boolean search does not = Internet search.

Sample Search strings:
title:resume OR url:resume) AND ((ga OR georgia) NEAR (770 OR 678 OR 404)) AND java
(filetype:doc OR filetype:pdf OR filetype:txt OR filetype:wps OR filetype:asp) resume
You can then tack on keywords like so:
(filetype:doc OR filetype:pdf OR filetype:txt OR filetype:wps OR filetype:asp) resume java XML
And then localize it:
(filetype:doc OR filetype:pdf OR filetype:txt OR filetype:wps OR filetype:asp) resume java XML (NC OR "North Carolina")
