QUOTE(Joey Christensen @ Oct 15 2009, 10:41 AM) K.I.V files? Grab 'em and Bag 'em. To be kept for future/desperate times only. How it feels like when there's 6 A4 paper boxes containing CVs? Basically it's a dump site for me. Salvaging will only take place in desperate times. spot on sir... i think 'KIV' is a polite way of saying you're rejected! better luck next time..Regards, Joey  |

KIV can also means that if the candidate they selected bail out, then you are the first choice

Basically it's a dump site for me. Salvaging will only take place in desperate times. That's how I imagine it to be as well. Letting a pile of CVs sit in a corner gathering dust seems bit of an odd practice if you ask me, unless you like azarimy have spent time working in the firm.Regards, Joey Added on October 15, 2009, 1:07 pm QUOTE(azarimy @ Oct 15 2009, 07:40 AM) something just crossed my mind: Yea, DOB, IC # and address are pretty standard details to have in one's cv, at least in Malaysia anyway. I think.u actually put IC numbers, address and DoB and similar details on ur CV? coz most people dont. only phone number and email. This post has been edited by verajelly: Oct 15 2009, 01:18 PM |

Details such as name (with your surname bolded font), contack number, corresponding address and email address on top left is sufficient.

Correct.There is no point keeping a resume for future purposes since resume will change with work experience, and many HRs won't bother to find the KIV resume when someone reapplies in the future. |

QUOTE(verajelly @ Oct 14 2009, 11:04 PM) Sorry for the very noob question but : What is the point of employers "keeping for reference" your CV instead of issuing a clear rejection? Does it mean you are automatically considered for future positions? Or are they gathering personal data of the public to be sold to tele-salesmen? sometime it means; we may gonna need u later.....What do they do with your CVs when they "KIV" them? sometime it means; u sucks, we dont want u (dat KIV term is just for "jaga hati", reject in polite way).... anyway, its more sounds like; don call us, we call u... u know wat i mean...

I think. what u need to put in the CV is just whatever that's relevant to the potential employers. they may need to know ur address so that they could send future letters, but they do not need to know ur IC number, date of birth (maybe once to justify ur age), race, religion and so on. CV is not ur personal online dating service profile  . |

The thing is if you succeed in getting job then you will have to put in all these details .
But I do agree that even if you did get it , why should the employer know IC etc? It has nothing to do with the job. |

It has nothing to do with the job. It's part of standard operating procedure (SOP).

Well, to be honest, I know the "KIV" line is very often used on rejectees especially the decision is delivered face to face. But the reason I'm asking is that I'm getting "Kept For Reference" on several job apps on Jobstreet. On the internet the meaning is less clear because they can easily afford to hand out outright rejections without having to worry about being "polite" about it. It makes the status more ambiguous than it might be in real life.
