If defining marital status is not so important then why this is one of the most impotant and foremost question during an interview........very irritating .
Unfortunately, a lot of company seems to be too interested in the family background. Without that they feel the interview to be incomplete. So in the Indian scenario, mentioning family background is okay.
If you get a break in your career you are considered illterate and no more employable. So let us see how many companies can get stright nto profits 100 years in a row. India is a country where you cannot change mindset. It is stuck in medivel era. Indian mindset needs to change. A person getting a break is not illterate for christ sake. If you have travelled two or three countries then they envy and say you are unemplyable. God knows why other countries send jobs to India rather keep them there we will come and work there. Indian HR is good for afghanistan and can preach discipline there no good for India.

I Completely agree...HR will bargain on salary unreasonably if you have gaps in employment....I do not know what HRDs in India have acheived. No work life balance, no reasonable salary hikes etc.

Always mention only the details that are pertaining to the job. As whatever is mentioned in your skills shows the applicants interest in that.

Some simple mistakes not mentioned here. Spelling or grammer mistakes are not acceptable as MS Word itself can do it for you and still, you are careless to check that too. Another one - your company name is wrong!! Common mistake where candidate's resume is thrashed.

It's grammar, not grammer. Thrashed has multiple meanings, the most common being to be beaten to a pulp. It could also mean flailing or moving in uncontrolled, convulsive fashion. It never means "trashed". That word means consigned to a trash bin, and is the word you were looking for. It isn't exactly appropriate for formal writing, but is fine in colloquial usage.

Thanks for correcting my mistakes too. Language doesnt neet to be 100% correct but it should convey message - I think it was clear here - isnt it? Every occassion has different meaning and different treatment needed. You can attend friend's marriage in jeans but corporate meeting with blazer. Similarly, such checks are needed for resume and not for regular discussion forum. If you are preparing resume in MS-Word amd MS-Word must have already highlighted issues, how the person might have ignored them? The person must be careless before he submits such resume to HR of any company - and that makes him unsuitable for important jobs - yes, if he is applying for non-productive jobs or where language is not a problem, resume is still fine with all such errors.

I would never wear jeans to a wedding, friend or otherwise. It's disrespectful for the same reason wearing jeans at a board meeting is (unless it's Levi Strauss's board). To return to your point, fine, someone who doesn't pay attention to grammar and syntax on an online forum may not necessarily carry the same lack of attention to detail over to his/her work. However, someone who is attentive about such things will almost surely be attentive to detail in his/her work. That's why language, spoken or written, should be as close to 100% as humanly possible; whether you like it or not, you are judged first on your appearance (clothes, hair, gait, deportment, and so forth), and next on your language skills. Its unlikely that a person whose written language has errors can speak without making grammatical errors -- after all, you have more time when you write. This is not to suggest that perfection is possible. Your aim must always be 100% correct language, regardless of setting. It becomes a habit.
BTW, your current post has multiple errors in grammar, sentence construction, and semantics. It's interesting that you believe that your level of proficiency at English is sufficient, and anything more is overkill, whereas anything less is substandard. MS Word, as I have noted before, cannot correct semantics or grammatical errors, and will show up in your resume.
My browser highlights spelling mistakes. I use Google Chrome, and I know Firefox does the same. If yours doesn't, upgrade.
