In simple sense, HRM means employing people, developing resources, utilizing, maintaining
and compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational requirement.
Its features include: Organizational management, Personnel administration,
management, Industrial management.
Manpower management includes two main components: interview and resume.
An interview is a conversation between two or more people (the interviewer and the
interviewee) where questions are asked by the interviewer to obtain information from the
interviewee.
A job interview is a process in which a potential employee is evaluated by an employer
for prospective employment in their company, organization, or firm. During this process, the
employer hopes to determine whether or not the applicant is suitable for the job.
An Informational Interview is a meeting in which a job seeker asks for advice rather
than employment. The job seeker uses the interview to gather information on the field, find
employment leads and expand their professional network. This differs from a job interview
because the job seeker asks the questions. There may or may not be employment opportunities
available.
Informational interviews are initiated by the job seeker. There are many avenues the job
seeker may pursue to obtain the informational interview. Career and social networking,
newspaper want ads, job boards, placement services, company websites, human resource
contacts, job search engines, and professional recruiters.
While the job seeker initiates the interview, he must follow the basic guidelines for
interview etiquette. He must arrive promptly, dress appropriately, prepare informational
questions, and make a good first impression.
A résumé is a document that contains a summary of relevant job experience and
education. The résumé is typically the first item that a potential employer encounters regarding
the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview, when
seeking employment.
In many contexts, a résumé is short (usually one page), and therefore contains only
experience directly relevant to a particular position. Many résumés contain precise keywords
that potential employers are looking for, make heavy use of active verbs, and display content in
a flattering manner.
In the past, résumés used to be no longer than two pages, as potential employers
typically did not devote much time to reading résumé details for each applicant. In some
countries employers have changed their views regarding acceptable résumé length. Since
increasing numbers of job seekers and employers are using Internet– based job search engines
to find and fill employment positions, longer résumés are needed for applicants to differentiate
and distinguish themselves, and employers are becoming more accepting of resumes that are
longer than two pages. Many professional resume writers and human resources professionals
believe that a résumé should be long enough so that it provides a concise, adequate, and
accurate description of an applicant's employment history and skills. List only the information
and achievements required for the position. The transmission of résumés directly to employers
became increasingly popular as late as 2002. Jobseekers were able to circumvent the job
application process and reach employers through direct email contact and résumé blasting, a
term meaning the mass distribution of resumes to increase personal visibility within the job
market. However the mass distribution of resumes to employers often can have a negative
effect on the applicant's chances of securing employment as the résumés tend not to be tailored
for the specific positions the applicant is applying fir. It is usually therefore more sensible to
adjust the résumé for each position applied for.
The complexity and simplicity of various résumé formats tend to produce results
varying from person to person, for the occupation, and to the industry. It is important to note
that résumés used by medical professionals, professors, artists and people, in mane an):
