If somone admitted they're quiet on their CV would it put you off employing them?

I never thought I would be helping someone to NOT get a job - but here we go:\n\nYou should put this information on your cover letter. I would not use the term "quiet" but would use something like Looking for a calm work environment. Other possible ways to word this: non-stressful, peaceful, etc.\n\nBecause this is on the cover letter, you will be writing a new one for every job anyway, so you can delete it from the ones for jobs you actually want.

Not my career. But it can affect others, if they are not documented.\n\ncc

If you left after two days I wouldn't bother to add it to your application.  In that short of a period the employer didn't have time to form an opinion on your work ethic, so would be unable to give a reference.

As an employer my answer is to be upfront and honest about it.  Depending on the reasons why it may or may not matter.  If your employer finds out later, odds are you will be fired.  What is going to matter the most is how you present yourself in your interview.

Well there's no harm in trying but chances are that if they are not in the recruitment mode they might not pay attention to your resume. So, you'd rather get to know someone who works over there and put in a word for you. Despite formal recruitment procedures, informal networking still works very well simply because in an interview one hardly gets 20-30 minutes to get to know a candidate. If one has the luxury of knowing the candidate from before, judging that person is a lot easier.\nAnyways, first find out what projects are they currently doing or plan to do, and highlight your skills that make a match. PLEASE DON'T SEND A GENERIC RESUME THAT SEEMS MORE LIKE A CIRCULAR.

it does not hurt to let them contribute to the hiring process, but definitely do not let them do the interview. many field personel are not versed in the questions that can and cannot be asked by law, and you could end up in a lawsuit very quickly.

Not at all. I've interviewed many many people, but sometimes there are far more people wanting the job than there are places, so I would often say something like 'we will be in contact'. \nI am proud to say I always informed everyone of the outcome. I am aware that not all employers notify the unsuccessful applicant.

Actually, if you do anything else you will be ignored and dropped. The only way to insure that is to interview extremely well. I've worked in Human Resources for YEARS.

Yes, but just try to avoid them until they calm down. If they have any decency at all they'll apologise to you later. On a more serious note, if they are like that then they shouldn't be in the job role they're in. This is unprofessional and certainly doesn't make you feel that they are approachable. I hope I am not like that to my lot.

In general, yes.\nObviously there are some jobs where appearance is not an issue. If my employees do not take pride in themselves, I wonder if they will take pride in their work. It is only 1 criteria in making a promotion decision.

Yes, any employer can state that they would not re-hire\nany employee and that is definitely a negative reference..

If this is an interviewer for a new position then I would answer that question by stating that the position didnt utilize your talents as much as you wished, that it was not a challenge mentally and that it had no place to "climb the ladder" because of closed off higher positions.

Of course they can!\n\nNow..legally the former employer  should only be able to say your dates of employment and if you are eligible for rehire. \n\nThat doesn't mean that Joe from burger barn doesn't know Susan over at the hot dog king and they don't go for drinks and a little gossip passes over a cocktail. \n\nPeople talk..legally the company should keep things private..that doesn't control gossip.

I have never lied at a job interview.  In some states if they find out after they hire you that you lied, it is grounds for immediate termination.

tell them abut your education, achievements, work experience, knowledge gained while working and some few attributes you may possess

Why would you want to hide it?  If you are searching for a blue-collar job because you just need a job for the interim,then I say proudly put it on your application and tell them that you are looking for a job with growth potential, you know like management positions, district managers, ect.........

I have some gaps in my work history.  They aren't questioned.  If they do question, just say you were working outside of your profession, SAHM, federal prison, etc.
