How can I register with an IT company as a project trainee via email anywhere in India? I am also attaching my CV.

Greetings,
Your interview would depend on the skill sets, roles, and level you would be hiring for. Please work on the following areas:
- Gain a clear understanding of the role you would be hiring for so that you can explain it even to a 2-year-old kid. Remember, the amount of information and the way you share it will get the candidate excited to join your firm. Moreover, if you can't explain it properly, the candidates won't respect you.
- Focus on resume screening techniques.
- Learn to identify the keywords in the resumes and what information has been shared about it. For example, a skill set has been mentioned, and project details have been written in the resume. There are no inputs about what the candidate had contributed to the project. Observe your seniors on how they talk while questioning about these projects. You need to have a clear view of the candidate's involvement and contribution to the project.
- Form a script with the questions that you need to ask and learn to judge the level of the answers received. There would be a few direct answers and a few elaborate ones. Learn to identify the subject and the matter in the elaborate one.
- Identify the potential and not only the information a candidate may have. They may throw jargons and terminologies at you; learn how to identify the experience and the level of experience from what they speak.
- Spend time educating yourself on the skill sets you are supposed to hire. Understand what you need to weigh in the candidate.
- Read blogs, join tech communities and forums of the relevant skill sets you would be hiring for; this will give you the buzz you need to know while talking to the candidate.
- Read tech journals and books such as "Google Way," "You Must Fail (Oracle Story)," "The Facebook Effect" to understand the industry as a whole.
- Initially, you may not understand the content, but sooner you will see a pattern in them and start learning.
- Watch programs such as this to know the media presentation of the Tech industry "How a Geek Changed the World."
- Constantly blog about your learning, here in this thread, so that others can contribute with comments and add to it. It will enrich your learning and share your knowledge and effort. Create a learning plan for each day and blog at the end of the day about what you have learned. This will become an online diary for you, making you responsible towards your gain.
Wish you all the best!

I do agree with the fact that an IT recruiter must possess certain key skills. They should know the skill set they are supposed to hire, have knowledge about the companies for which they are hiring, possess very good skills in screening resumes, have good communication abilities, and be ready with smart answers to any queries.
