Will your Resume get you dream job?

It is possible that this post is based on the translations and commentaries of Islamic texts like Quran, Hadiths etc. as published by all major Islamic publishing sources. These are the publicly available translations that are used for promotion of Islam by prominent representatives.

We, however, believe that most of these texts have been wrongly translated, misinterpreted, misquoted or even have been tampered with and interpolated to suit the selfish designs of proponents of Islam after Muhammad. Thus, we believe that original Islam and original Quran of Muhammad are totally different from what have been propagated by his followers in name of Islam. There are few minority groups in Muslims whose scholars subscribe to our views and interpret/translate Islamic texts differently or even refuse to consider the available Quran and Hadiths as authentic. But these scholars themselves are considered Kafirs and are condemned by a dominant elite group of Islam. Thus, when we refer to Islam, we actually imply these dominant elites of Islam and not Muslims or all Islamic scholars in general.

Wherever we critically evaluate Muhammad, we imply the fictitious Muhammad propagated by these false texts or their wrong translations and not the original Muhammad. We have high regard for original Muhammad who stood for non-violence and tolerance. Similarly, when we analyze Islamic texts, we refer to these questionable translations/versions and NOT original texts.

Further, we have a sense of the highest level of brotherhood for Muslims in general. Wherever we use the word Muslim in a critical manner, it refers to false representatives of Islam and not Muslims in general. Readers are requested to keep this in mind to understand the correct perspective of such posts on this website.

Nowhere should they assume the words like Islam, Quran, Prophet etc. to be referring to original noble entities, unless it has been referred in a positive light. We restrict ourselves only to notions prevalent in minds of fanatics and those without reason.

इस पूरी वेबसाईट में जहाँ भी ‘क़ुरान’ शब्द प्रयुक्त हुआ है, उसका अर्थ क़ुरान की पुस्तक के वो अनुवाद और व्याख्याएँ हैं जो कट्टर इस्लाम के प्रतिनिधियों द्वारा इंटरनेट और अन्य स्थानों पर प्रचारित-प्रसारित की जाती हैं जिन्हें पढ़कर कमज़ोर दिल के लोग कट्टरता की दिशा में मुड़ रहे हैं। हम जानते हैं कि क़ुरान व उपरिलिखित शब्दों की कुछ व्याख्याएँ ऐसी भी हैं जो हिंसा को आज के दिन ठीक नहीं समझतीं, एवं ग़ैरमज़हबी मानवता पर बल देती है पर ऐसी व्याख्याएँ और व्याख्याता कट्टर इस्लाम के प्रतिनिधियों और उनके अनुयायियों की दृष्टि में मुर्तद (मुसलमान जिसने इस्लाम छोड़ दिया हो) घोषित किए गए हैं। ऐसे व्याख्याता और उनकी व्याख्याएँ इस वेबसाईट के विषय नहीं हैं। चिंता का विषय है कि आज इंटर्नेट आदि माध्यमों में कट्टरवादी व्याख्याओं का बाहुल्य है एवं उदारवादी सहिष्णु व्याख्याएँ दुष्प्राप्य हैं।

हम मानते हैं कि मूल इस्लाम, पैग़म्बर, क़ुरान आदि बहुत प्रेम और आनंद सिखाते होंगे। परंतु इस वेबसाईट में इन शब्दों से केवल वो अर्थ लिए जाएँ जो नवीन लोगों ने अपने हिसाब से अपने मिलावटी ग्रंथ/अनुवाद बना लिए हैं। हम इन मिलावटी ग्रंथों/अनुवादों को ठीक नहीं मानते और हमारी इस्लाम, पैग़म्बर या क़ुरान आदि विषयों की व्याख्या को आज के कट्टरवादी प्रचलित/मिलावटी अनुवादों के संदर्भ में ही लिया जाए। हमारी कोई बात मूल इस्लाम, पैग़म्बर और क़ुरान के लिए नहीं है। उसके लिए तो बस सम्मान है।

किसी भी व्यक्ति, समुदाय, उदारवादी विचारधारा की भावना को ठेस पहुँचाना इस वेबसाईट का उद्देश्य नहीं है। किंतु विषय गम्भीर है, संवेदनशील है। प्रचारित इतिहास पर प्रश्नचिन्ह उठाता है। कुछ स्थानों पर एतिहासिक विषयों को नाटकीय रूप में भी प्रस्तुत किया गया है। अतः यह निवेदन है कि यदि इन विषयों को लेकर आप किंचित भी संवेदनशील है तो इस वेबसाईट को आगे न पढ़ें। यह वेबसाईट केवल परिपक्व मनस हेतु है जो इस अस्वीकरण को ध्यान रखते हुए, हमारी मूल भावना का सम्मान करते हुए, हमारे सृजनात्मक अभिव्यक्ति के अधिकार को अंगीकार कर सकें।

Career

Resume is typically the first necessary component of your career dream run. A powerful resume not only stands you a significantly better chance to get your dream job but also maintain that impression edge even during the job.

There are hundreds of books and blogs on preparing effective resumes. There are tonnes of information available on this topic. My objective is to present to you some of the more critical tips that can help you create that million dollar resume.

I have been involved in resume development as well as scrutiny for more than a decade now. I must have reviewed tens of thousands of resumes and have been involved in recruitment of thousands in my professional career.

Sometimes the impact of a powerful resume can indeed be so powerful that it overrides all other phases of recruitment – interview, due-diligence and even eligibility criteria. I once developed a resume for a bureaucrat that got him a very high placed job circumventing certain government norms. Not that it was deliberate, but just that no one bothered to do the necessary due-diligence once the fit was evident from resume. Of course, there would have been other factors, but by his own admission, the selection was made the moment the ministry saw the resume. Its a different matter that it landed the gentleman in problems later when some detractors threatened with legal actions to score political points. But thats a different story altogether.

The key point is that a smartly crafted resume can definitely turn the tides. The only request is that once you know the secrets of making a powerful resume, do not misuse it to turn the tides wrongly.

Also note that while the above was an extreme example, the real trick lies in preparing a resume that integrates well with your real persona during the interview phase. The worst thing to happen to you is when it becomes evident that someone else made your resume or that you copy-pasted from some other source.

So here is the first basic tip of resume-writing:

Be Original and Be Honest

Believe me, I have not seen the power of honesty more evident in any other field than in recruitment process. When your resume and interview depict consistently the same confident person with high integrity, that synergy is so powerful that it easily overrides all other lacunae that your profile may have.

There are other benefits of having high integrity as well, but let us focus on resume-building right now.

I have myself been guilty of preparing certain resumes for some closed ones that sailed them through the interview process as well into high placed jobs (We shall discuss art of successful interviewing sometime later) through an unfair advantage. But despite that, the crux of my experience in professional field is that the benefits of being original and honest far more outweigh any short term gains you may make otherwise. So if you want to be truly unleash the legend within, never ever deviate from this golden tip: Be Original and Be Honest.

The key principle of resume writing

This is obvious but often overlooked. If you can keep this point in mind consistently while building and evaluating your resume, you need not even read rest of the stuff. Because they simply build upon this basic principle: “Resume is your advertisement.”

Resume is not a legal document, it is not a contract, it is not answer to any question, it is not a statement of facts. It is an advertisement in a document format.

Most resumes I have come across ignore this most basic principle. Some even have a statement of approval: I hereby state that all information in this resume is true to best of my knowledge…blah blah blah with a signature.

Unless such a predefined format is mandatory for a given job, this is simply waste of time, ink and reduces your success probability.

Other resumes would have a section on Personal Details – Name of Father, Mother, Address, Village, Gender etc. These may be good for a biodata for marriage, but is otherwise junk. Unless mandatory, remove all this from your resume. Address should be put in Header or Footer. Gender is unnecessary.

Age/ Date of Birth can be provided when asked later. We shall discuss it all later in the book.

The advertisement approach does not mean that you create a full-page ad with your photo in a pose, and your name in Word Art. That may work fine for celebrities and creative fields, I am not sure. Or when your next movie is being released. But for those aspiring for more sensible jobs, it has to be subtle advertisement. An advertisement that portrays you as trustworthy, thorough, dynamic, elegant, team worker and above all a professional.

So stay away from loud-mouthed advertisements unless that is what your personality truly reflects. The focus of this book however would be more conventional job roles for 99.99% of us.

(However, do note that I have observed people creating most unconventional resumes and being successful with them even in conventional job roles. They represent mastery of the art of resume writing. In martial arts, once you reach the masters level, the previously learnt rules are no more applicable for you. You move beyond the rules. However, the focus of this book is on those who are yet to become masters. For them, these tips would perhaps be useful in reaching the level of masters.)

    You have some brilliant brains with all-round skills around. Whether it is Vedas or philosophy or social issues or career, you are champion of all fields! Thanks for such wonderful tips. I study at IIT Bombay and gonna share this masterpiece with all my friends. I am great fan of yours and love all the articles you post. The originality of thoughts with great analytical skills is what makes you different from rest of others competing in religious, social, and even scientific circles.

    I read your article on Stephen Hawking’s claim about afterlife. I saw you challenging the very assumptions of naturalists that are fed like mother’s milk in the name of science to every student during the studies. I simply loved that. You have taught me to question the assumptions, if necessary.

    I would love to see people like you as leader of my country who stand for rationality, equality, and courage.

    Hats off to you..

  3. nice article. You have ideas regarding everything… and I thought this to be inspired from a vedic mindset: “Also master the art of unbiased self-observation without being emotionally attached with your thought-baby! If this be mastered, you will master the whole world – wise have said.”
