U r right! I read this article on MSN. Nakal ke liye bhi akal chahiye, kam se kam kuch to change kar dete!
A price example of idiocy, everybody may have a few accomplishments during their employment, but a large part of the experience is day to day responsibilities.
I challenge the author to follow his/her own advice. if you have managed 20 projects, HOW ON EARTH does it hurt your case to lets say mention in a career synopsis " I have a proven track record of delivering projects" or should I directly start of with the list of projects, without any introduction what so ever, the employer wont even know till the second paragraph which field i am from.
HRs look for confidence and whether the candidate "fits in" and has the right attitude, when in reality, they should be looking for talent, passion, innovativeness. A really talented and knowledgeable person may not be the coolest/smartest.
Today most (almost all) VP or Head Recruitment, mention in the ad that they look for recruitment strategy or hire a recruitment strategies, stragetize recruitment etc etc, which is a HR jargon, but these Heads or VP's go to a consultant to hire even a 2 or 5 years of recruitment guy / gal, so what happened to their network, HRD network, LinkedIn or other social network. One can experience going through the Job Portal, which states a "US$ 15 billion dollar company, need a Java professional with minimum of 2 years of experience", so what are those highly paid "postman (recruiter/vp/head-recruitment) doing in the company, if they can't hire a person of 2 years of experience.

most VPs are money-squeezers and fake stuff .... their main objective is to extract as many ways possible and act like a benevolent creature but they are mostly lazy-lusty-buggers.

Hi guys.. Its very easy to criticize..but HR and hiring are two different disciplines... There are a lot of other things that HR does and are expected to do, like keeping the work force happy, improve morale, reduce attrition, career pathing etc..all subjected to the budgets available.. And like any other field, there are HR's who does it faithfully, and those who dont.. I think HR is like one of those things, whose value u dont realize as long as it is present.. and just to set the perspective here, iam not an HR guy, but a finance guy..so yes, this is an outsiders view :)
