Job Alert on BigTV


Dear Mrinal

I tried to phone you yesterday but could not get thru.

I refer to my email of 17th and to my telecom with Suhail as suggested by you.

Suhail suggested that I talk to Vishal, which I will certainly do.

But before I phone him, I wonder if you can brief him re our meeting and my 7 year association with Reliance.

I will call him up upon hearing from you.

I know I can count on your help.

With regards

42 Million subscribers for your website


Dear Sir

On 17th inst you acknowledged my feedback sent thru your online feedback form.

In my feedback, I had offered to deliver “ Job Alert on Mobile – JAM “ to jobseekers in rural areas thru iCode.

I request you to visit my job-portal   www.CustomizeResume.com   to see how JAM works.

We are already offering this service  free-of-cost  to our registered jobseekers.

JAM service has been launched as a Premier Partner of  HP Labs – India  thru their website  www.SiteOnMobile.com

In this context, I wish to draw your attention to following news item that appeared in Free Press Journal on 21st April 2006 :

“ Now, matrimonial services through 700 post offices “

It talks of a tie-up between Department of Posts and BharatMatrimony.com , “ under which, the portal will provide registration and membership services through the head post offices across the country. The friendly post office will now sell membership scratch cards and registration forms for the portal “.

I wish to emphasize that our Job Alert service is absolutely free, unlike the “ paid “ service of BharatMatrimony.

I believe offering such a free service thru YOUR OWN PORTAL will make it extremely popular amongst rural jobseekers.

Apart from this, you could also think of tying-up with 900 + State Employment Exchanges where more than 42 million unemployed young men and women have registered.

If your portal offers them free job-alerts on their mobiles – and ability to apply against any job directly from their mobile, without need to connect to internet – then you could get all these jobseekers to REGISTER on your website !

That would make iCodecity.com bigger than Naukri / Monster and Timesjobs combined !

If my proposal interests you, please feel free to phone me on ( M ) 0-98,67,55,08,08

I will be happy to come and meet you.

With regards

RE: Justdial in Association with Recruit Guru (Mumbai)


Dear Clency

Thank you for your email offering subscription based service of JustDial.

I am happy re your confirmation that, in case I accept your offer, you will place on my page, 2 URLs hyperlinks to my 2 websites.

But I think, our “ association “ should go way beyond mere subscription service. There is, in fact, ample opportunity to synergize the domain-expertise of JustDial and   www.CustomizeResume.com   for mutual advantage.

Here is how :

Apart from providing searches for Companies / Products-Services, thru your search bar, you also have subject-specific searches for Movies / Restaurants / Hotels / Reverse Auction / Resellers / JD Trends / Cricket.

Why not for “ Jobs “ ?

No doubt you are aware that approx. 70 % of the 80 million internet users in India use internet for searching JOBS.

Wouldn’t they love to receive JOB-ALERT SMS on their mobiles ?

And be able to “ Apply “ against any of those job-alerts, directly from their mobiles, without having to connect to internet / login / surf dozens of job portals ?

In your mail you say :

“ JustDial’s local search via SMS makes information available at fingertips to all mobile users across 240 cities in India

Please check-out on  www.CustomizeResume.com , how we are delivering SMS based job-alerts to our registered jobseekers ( FREE ), in Premier Partnership with HP Lab India’s  www.SiteOnMobile.com

We can do the same for users of JustDial.

Can we get together for further discussions ?

Feel free to phone me on ( M ) 98,67,55,08,08

Promo email for 2.8 lakh candidates


Job Search by Job Title                                  

Now you can search 2.3 million jobs by their job titles.


For most jobseekers, job title is the most important criteria to be considered while conducting a job search.

Job title is what decides your position in the corporate hierarchy.

Job title determines your professional standing amongst your peers / co-professionals.

Even your ability to negotiate a higher salary depends upon your current designation.

Do not search jobs – Search for the right job title.

Jobseekers must be sprinters


Jobseekers must be Sprinters ?

Mumbai Municipal Corporation ( India ) wanted to fill up 4000 posts of street sweepers. So, it advertised in local newspapers, saying applicants should have passed 8th Standard ( 10th being school graduation ).

That led to a flood of 300,000 applications.

How can anyone go thru 300,000 resumes to shortlist 4,000 candidates ?

No problem.

Additional “ Eligibility Criteria “ required that candidates must be

Ø  165 cm tall
Ø  capable of running 4 Km in 15 Min ( 16 Km / hour )

Now, if a candidate can sweep 128 Km of roads in an 8 hour shift ( @ 16 Km / hour ), then the Municipal Corporation should need only 32 sweepers to sweep 4000 Km of Mumbai roads !

Why invest in sweeping machines if you can employ 4000 ?

Iceberg  of  Unemployment

In his “ Kotak Institutional Equities “ report,

“ 365 Mn : Can India live up to its demographic dividend ? “
( as reported in DNA / Oct.21,2010 ),

Akhilesh Titolia says :

Ø  23 / 25 million Indians will become eligible for work every year for the next 15 years
Ø  Out of these, 12 / 13 million will actively look for employment every year
Ø  There will be 365 million young Indians by 2025

So, what is India’s score-card for job creation ?

MaFoi Randstad Employment Trends Survey ( as reported in DNA / Dec.16,2010 ) reports that private organized sector in India created following no. of jobs :


               In  2008 …………………………  0.67 Million
               In  2009  ………………………… 0.90 Million
               In  2010  ………………………….1.13 Million

Will India’s Economy sink by hitting the tip of the Unemployment Iceberg ?

FW: Resumefox: Smart e-recruitment software that reduces hiring time and costs by over 70%


Team

Pl take a look at this.

This reads very much like our RecruitGuru.com which we de-hosted some years back.

RecruitGuru.com comprised of GuruMine ( Resume parsing into 23 fields to create a structured database ) and GuruSearch ( a search-engine which enables to search and shortlist candidates based on desired search parameters )

It seems a coincidence that today we will try to revive RecruitGuru.com with the help from Abhinandan and Vikram who were deeply involved in the development of RecruitGuru.com

But, if we succeed, I plan to keep RecruitGuru.com as an “ OFFLINE / DESKTOP-BASED “ tool, at least for some months.

We have, with us, following no of text resumes :

Ø  1.26 lakh resumes received by 3P since Jan 2007 and already available to all of you for searching thru ISYS. These are in custody of Reena
Ø  3.2 lakh resumes which Alex has downloaded from various job portals and uploaded on www.CustomizeResume.com

If we succeed in reviving RecruitGuru.com OFFLINE, then I propose that Manoj Pande is made responsible for parsing all the text resumes listed above.

I think if the tool is run on 24 hour basis then it may take less than 2 weeks to parse these 4.5 lakh resumes and created a structured database.

Vikram tells me that GuruMine incorporates a “ INBOX READER “ which automatically reads the mailbox and separates out the resumes for further processing ( parsing ).This will eliminate the need for Tushar to process daily incoming resumes using RESUME RATER.

Once the parsed database is ready, any consultant / research associate should be able to search it using GuruSearch.

I believe the tool also has the in-built facility to send-out emails to short listed candidates.

If you run into any difficulty please let me know at once. I expect you will coordinate this project amongst yourselves.

Job Search Strategy


Job Search Strategy ?

For many jobseekers, their foremost job search strategy is to surf the job portals – daily, and often for hours-on-end.

But this is not something every jobseeker can do or even need to do. All over the world, there are millions of jobseekers whose only access to internet is from a cybercafé – and once a week !

Now a day, nearly all job portals send job alert emails on a daily / weekly basis.

Then there are some which display SMS job alerts on mobile and even enable a jobseeker to “ Apply “ against any alert , directly from mobile – eliminating the need to surf / log-in.

There is hardly a jobseeker who does not have a mobile !

If this trend accelerates, online job searching may not remain the foremost job search strategy.

Hello Sir,

I spoke to Kartavya yesterday night. He also agreed to my opinion that unless we get the master database (which I had explained to Alex too on my last visit) little can be done. In any circumstances, Vikram is our best bet.

Having said this, when I spoke to Alex yesterday, he told me that he has retrieved a database called 'RESUMINE'. I would appreciate if he can send me the following details of the database. I am not sure but I think this is the database that we were talkging about.

- List of Tables
- List of views
- List of procedures
 
Following commanda will help Alex to quicky get the above information. The commanda need to be run on the RESUMINE database. Suggest him to create EXCEL file and send it to me asap. I will be working for another 3 hours before going to bed.

SELECT name as 'Table Name' FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE xtype = 'U' order by name;
SELECT name as 'View Name' FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE xtype = 'V' order by name;
SELECT name as 'Procedure Name' FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE xtype = 'P' order by name;
SELECT name as 'Trigger Name' FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE xtype = 'TR' order by name;

Subject: JAM / JAP / JAT aka seemless transition of content across devices

Dear Mrinal

I attach article “ Google throws open it’s virtual bookstall “ ( Mint / Dec.08,2010 ).

At one place, the author writes :

“ A typical user could begin reading an e-book on an iPad at home, continue reading the same book on an Android phone on the

 subway and then pick it up again on a web browser at the office, with the book opening each time to the place where the user left

 off.

A web connection will not be necessary to read a book. “

According to the author, the content ( e-book ) transits seamlessly

Ø  from  “ home “  ( iPad )

Ø  to    “ subway “ ( Android phone )

Ø  to    “ office “    ( PC )

Job Alert is also a kind of content – and for millions without access to PC/Internet, a far more valuable content.

We should be able to deliver it

Ø  at home, on TV – JAT

Ø  on bus, on Mobile – JAM

Ø  in office, on PC – Jap

I hope, you have been able to pass-on the earlier emails to your colleagues.

Awaiting your early response

If you can outsource


If  you can Outsource, so can I !

This is what teachers seem to be telling the students, who are outsourcing to an army of web-based writers, the task of preparing Essays / Term Papers / Assignments.

Teachers of 450 schools in India are “ sourcing “ readymade “ Lesson-Plans “ from a company headed by Ramgopal Vallath.

His company has prepared 8,000 lesson – plans across all subjects for Nursery to Seventh Standard.

Who says ‘ intermediaries ‘ will lose their jobs with the arrival of internet ?

With every passing day, we see internet creating many new jobs.

And most such internet – based jobs are being created by people who were themselves rendered jobless a few months back.

They decided not to take it lying down and became “ self-employed “.

Opportunities do not ‘ arrive ‘ – you have to go, find them.

 Essays / Term Papers / Assignments


Teachers are all-too human !

In Nov.2010, I reported re: Australian students outsourcing to teachers overseas,

Ø     Essays / Term Papers / Assignments

at $ 2 per piece – and without local teachers losing jobs.

Now, it is the turn of these teachers to outsource the preparation of their own “ lesson – plans “ to a company that supplies such plans !

Ramgopal Vallath, CEO of this company says,

“ We’ve created over 8,000 lesson-plans across all subjects for Nursery to Seventh Standard, and it reaches 450 schools across India.”

Stany Pinto, trustee of Holy Family group of schools ( Mumbai ) says,

“ Preparation of lesson-plans is a very time-consuming affair. Not all teachers have the time and energy to go back home and work on it. Having readymade plans helps in organizing lessons better.”

I suspect this trend is bound to accelerate till someone comes-up with the idea of

Ø     Eliminating the intermediaries ( viz: Teachers/Students)

Ø     Letting the “ Assignment Writers “ deal directly with the “ Lesson-Plan Creators “ !

Hemen Parekh, Director - RecruitGuru, had launched his 1st job-portal ( www.3pConsultants.co.in ) on 14 Nov. 1997.

12 years and a bypass surgery later, the Die-Hard launches
                             www.CustomizeResume.com

Because this is not yet another resume re-writing service ! It is nothing less than an experience that will change the rules of the Recruitment Industry !

  • Functional Competence Profiles
  • Educational profile
  • Career profile
  • Tenure profile
  • Salary profile                etc.

Each graph displays a jobseeker's Relative Standing vis-à-vis his co-professionals and answers his question:

 Where do I stand amongst my peers ?

Next, CustomizeResume.com enables the jobseeker to re-arrange the order / sequence of these graphs online and in a matter of seconds. With 8 Personal Analytic Graphs, he can create 40,000+ unique versions of his resume through permutations / combinations !

By saving / storing these versions online, a jobseeker can now Apply Online, using the version which is most relevant to a given corporate recruiter. It is like dressing most appropriately for the occasion- where each occasion demands a different dress !

With the arrival of CustomizeResume.com, recruiters will stop reading plain text resumes ; they will start interpreting personal analytical profiles ! The best way to experience the power of customization is to take a Free Trial on the job portal.

CustomizeResume.com was launched on Nov, 14th 2009 at Mumbai (India).
