Career History

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 platueing? 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?

Salary

 

 

 

 

 

 

He seems to have picked-up a huge salary-jump, everytime he changed jobs. What kind of salary-increase would he expect us to offer to motivate him to change ? Can we afford ? Would that upset a lot of our existing employees and demotivate them ? Would we be upsetting the apple-cart ?

 

 

 

 

 

Has his salary kept pace with his rise up the career ladder ? Is his salary lagging behind/ way ahead of a majority of his co-professionals ? How does it compare with similar professionals in our organization ?

 

 

 

 

 

What seems to be his “trade-off” between

  a) Salary

  b) Designation Level ?

  . Same designation ( his current designation ), if offered a higher salary ?

What no. of years did he take to pass

  . Bachelor’s Degree

  . Master’s Degree

Does he seem to have taken longer than stipulated period? Could he have failed once – or more?

 

 

 

 

 

Were any of these qualifications obtained through “Correspondence – Course” ? or through “Part-time study” in evenings ? If so, for how long ?

 

 

 

 

 

What about the educational institutions/universities that he attended? Are these recognized/reputed/accredited institutions?

 

 

 

 

 

Why did he not pursue higher studies in the same institution/university ? Why did he have to go to another state/country ?

 

 

 

 

 

Is there an “overlap” between

  . Completion of his education, and

  . Start of his first job ?

If yes, how did he manage that ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If there is a substantial “gap” between

Then, what did he do during that period ?
