The Mottai Boss (a.k.a kaatss)

ITS LIKE THAT

A friend of mine works for a HR Consultancy firm. You can imagine his routine job where he has to shortlist people according to clients requirements and send them for interview. Just like any other HR consultant, his main source of resumes is through job websites like naukri and monster. We and a few other college friends met this weekend and were chatting about life in general. During the course of our discussion, we asked the HR guy about his daily routine.

Friend: So, what do you do daily
HR guy: Search for resumes and conduct interviews
Me: What !?! you do technical interviews
HR guy: Sort of, that is bloody irritating
HR guy: As well as the HR interview....its getting on my nerves
Me: Why dude? You are a HR major anyway right?
HR guy: Yeah, but the fake resume thing makes my blood boil
Friend: Everybody spices up their a resume a little here and there (in a sarcastic tone)
Me: Ha ha....yeah, but you will find several years of experiences and degrees materializing out of nowhere only in india.
HR Guy: Thats true....its going to extreme....the bloody clients are also adamant in their requirements.....
Friend: So, how many resumes do you think are fake out there.
HR guy: I would say at least 7 out of 10 resumes I see everyday are fake.
Friend: (With a sly smile looks at us and says) then, other three have escaped ;)

I think fakers should be delisted somehow and put on some kind of offenders list :) They really bring down the genuine ones. I dont believe that experience is always a good thing.
