Job Seeker - Useful Notes
Dear Job Seekers,
When you send a CV to me, along with your CV I feel the below details about your interest / preference in the type of companies and type of work would be useful when you approach a staffing company or any company’s HR. It might look like I’m asking too much of details. It is not mandatory to disclose all this information to me but it would be useful for you for self assessment of the kind of job you are looking for. You can also send me with or without or only part of this information.
I’m sure I haven’t done a proper compilation of these items. But I will be improving it further based on your feedback with proper groupings and with more interests and preferences. Feel free to post a comment on compilation of these items and whether it is important or not.
Also I haven’t looked much from the angle of Sales, HR, Administration, Infrastructure departments. It is more from a typical software engineer’s point of view. I would appreciate if people from these departments give me more details about their specific preferences.
