Career Profile using www.IndiaRecruiter.net

Dear HR Manager / Headhunter / Recruitment Consultant : One recent survey showed that nearly 25%of the resumes are faked / fudged. Some blatantly, some in a subtle manner.  In most cases , such misinformation related to past / current work experience  ( Employers - Position / Designation - years worked - salary drawn etc ). Now he is a rare candidate who organizes his "Career History" in an easy - to read tabulation , in a reverse chronological order , with current job , right at the top.  And even that rare jobseeker's resume does not voluntarily answer , your following questions : What is his total experience ? Does this match with the experience required for our position/vacancy ? During this “total experience”, how many jobs has he changed  ? Does he seem to be a “ job-jumper ”  ? Does he seem to have stuck to the same organization for a long time ?  What could be the reason ? Does he seem to have stuck at the same “Designation – Level “ for a long time ? Was he “un-promotable” ? He seems to have got very frequent promotions /salary-raise. Does he come through as a “Fast Track” candidate? Given his “Average/Longest/Minimum” tenure with the companies where he worked, how long can we expect him to stay with us  ? He is in his current job for less than a year.  Why is he keen to quit within such a short period ? Is he plateauing ? i.e. rose very rapidly in early years but now seems to have slowed down. In terms of the size / turnover / reputation of the companies where he has worked, does he seem to have steadily “progressed” ?  Are there any reversals ? i.e. leaving a large / organized company to join a small / family owned company. Has he spent his entire career in one city or is he mobile ? Does his “Total Years of Experience” tally with his current age  ?  If not, does he seem to have “inflated” his experience  ?  Or, he should have got 20 years of experience by now, but graph shows only 12 years !  Has he failed to “list” some “unfavorable” tenures ? e.g.:    where his services were terminated or where the service was “temporary/contractual” ? Did any of the companies that he worked for, belong to his father / relative ?  If so, what was his designation / salary during such tenure ? Was that commensurate with his qualifications / experience ? During his career, were there any periods of “self-employment” ? If so, has he listed those in his “Career History” section ?  What factors made him “ start / give-up ” such self employment ? Not only Career Profile answer those questions ( or , at least raise those questions ), it does it graphically ! -Shubhangi / www.IndiaRecruiter.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
