RE:Why job hunters fake C.V

Does Sachin Tendulkar had a highest mark through all the academic carrer to enter into the playing arena and be the best of all.So it is not mandatory to see the academic record unless the guy may be too talented to do the IT related jobs. In IT it is talent in his work not the degree.Does any one listening.

I disagree. How is the company going to decide that you have the talent? One platform is that you have completed a certain number of years of education. It means you have studied (satisfactorily) history, geography, science and arts - so you will not be totally out of sync in general conversations and it is important that you communicate properly and write correct language. The graduation in engineering displays your capability of having studied and understood (satisfactorily) technical language and calculations as well as answering technical questions as well as taking up technical projects, etc, etc, etc. It's just not THAT simple.
If you are simply a ramanujam, well, the software industry is not for you.

I absolutely agree. However the way "TALENT" is being gauged in this Industry is questionable. A HR out of college and six months in the Job reviews your Resume and send you through the next round. How as a person with umpteen number of years reach the right person where he/she can be gauged for "talent?"

if a person has a talent he need not fake his cv.A person commits a fraud only when he is not sure that he is capable enough to get selected. Talent can ne shown during the personal interview.

I agree with the whole point that the talent can be shown in the personal interview or something. But even for getting selected or shortlisted for the interview, u need some experience.

We are talking about the Information Technology industry, not the International Terrorism industry, Sreenivas. :-)

Mr. Gulati,
I saw your reviews regarding this issue in several places.But i do not agree with you. Today everyone do some fake work to show there talent. Most of the companies put 70% throughout as a criteria, did you think that people who score above 70% throughout are good coders.I dont think so, when you are not getting shortlisted with this criteria how are you going to impress in personal interview.
