Hi peer,
I find the CV very lengthy. The concerned person can follow KISS principle. If needed or demanded by the company, he can send a detailed CV like this one at some later stage.
At same time I dare to say that some of the recruiters are hiring CVs rather than persons. A perfect CV is like a perfect murder. Till today we have not experienced it.So a perfect CV is not possible to locate( As the perception and requirments of companies differ).

I would have preferred to see some quantitative measures related to what the candidate accomplished as apposed to a list of responsibilities.
For those of you who remarked that its fake, i dont think so.In a small compamu one might have been a generalist and had to handle various aspects of HR functionality.
For recruiters, yes its lengthy and you wont read it. As a professional, that why I always tell candidates not to broadcast CVs. Networking for a job yields better results; your CV later explains your experience.

Hi Sardhar,
A typical, typical small/medium firm HR Generalist CV!!!!! :icon4: What seems incongruous is the summary on top. THe summary talks of understanding of business models, metrics, interconnection of functions, process approach and measurement......which are critical to HR and is THE differentiator for a good HR....but it has not been proven in the CV!!!!!
the vital link between HR and business touted in the summary is missing in the experience part...
