> Personally, I fit my CV (and write a cover letter) for every job I apply for. You have a specific model, or use case, in mind. The model is active: "see an ad - apply for a job". To me a more important use case is making my CV available to people who search for candidates and letting them decide if I may fit their (or their customers') needs. A headhunter needs to see your CV before there is a specific position to discuss. A company that searches for qualified candidates may see my CV before I know it exists. Later, if a headhunter discusses a specific position with me I may direct him/her to send a custom CV to the prospective employer. I may ask for the headhunter's advice on customizations - he/she knows the prospective employer better than I do at this stage. But that's *later*. If a prospective employer contacts me directly on the basis of the "generic" (not customized) CV there is no point in customizing it - they already thought it was worth a call or an email - the CV has done its job. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | o...@goldshmidt.org _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
