December 17, 2012 at 14:57CIO Qualities
CIOs, as a rule, are not looking for work; work itself finds them. As soon as the head writes on Twitter about the desire to change jobs, he immediately receives messages from recruiters.
Nevertheless, a high demand does not relieve CIOs of the need to write a resume: when changing jobs, a potential employer will still ask for a CV.
We will not dwell on this in detail now. A person who can write lines of code can cope with a description of education, work experience, a list of diplomas and certificates ...
And I would like to talk about one line in the CV template, which confuses many people - “personal qualities”. Some do not pay attention to it at all, others write the first thing that comes to mind. As a result, a pack of profiles of equally creative and responsible ones appears on the table at Eichar.
Actually, what qualities are important for the CIO?
We asked 300 CIOs about this.
