Cakewalk

Cakewalk for Jobseekers ?

Here are some interesting findings from a Nielsen India Study conducted in Dec.2010 ( Times of India / Jan 12, 2011 ) :

 Of the 626 Indian male executives surveyed,

Ø  85 % believe clean-shaven men get to attend meetings and   travel out of the office

Ø  86 % felt, when it comes to promotion, clean-shaven men have upper hand

Ø  73 % said women like to accompany clean-shaven men to party

Of the 414 women bosses surveyed,

Ø  90 % preferred clean-shaven men

Ø  79 % felt clean-shaven men have successful careers

Ø  66 % believe getting a job is a cakewalk for clean-shaven men

Ø  66 % prefer taking a clean-shaven man to meet her parents

At least in India, bearded men seem to face a bleak future !

Blessed are the clean-shaven for they shall inherit the earth !

RE: SMS Country profile & Quotation

Dear Urmila

Thank you for mail.

Right now we have no requirement for bulk SMS service.

You may  take a look at our Job Alert on Mobile Service at   www.CustomizeResume.com

At the moment it is FREE for the registered jobseekers.

However I would be willing to consider changing it into a PAID service if , thru a strategic alliance between our organizations ,we can share the revenue, where you promote it.

Strategic Alliance

Dear Mahesh

Thank you for the courtesy extended during my visit yesterday.

Thru your tie-up with the Dept of Post, iCodeCity is able to reach out to millions of jobseekers.

This reach could be further accentuated if you manage to tie-up with 939 State Employment Exchanges.

On an average, some 10,000 jobseekers register at each of these Employment Exchanges every year !

That is nearly 10 Million registrations per year.

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

Only problem is, Employment Exchanges do not have a live / current / searchable database of jobs which these 10 million registrants can proactively search.

In 2009, between them, these 939 employment exchanges could find jobs for only 3 lakh jobseekers.

At this rate, it will take them some 130 years to find jobs for all those who have registered !

This will remain a totally hopeless situation until someone enables these jobseekers to stop waiting patiently and start searching for jobs “ proactively “.

But most of these jobseekers have practically no access to PC / internet. How can they search jobs ?

But nearly all of them have a mobile phone.

This is where www.CustomizeResume.com comes into picture – by enabling these jobseekers to PULL onto their mobiles, perfectly matched jobs and then further enabling them to “ Apply “ against any of those jobs directly from their mobiles without a PC / Internet connection !

This is real empowerment !

No more endlessly waiting for some recruiter to come and conduct a “ Resume Search “ on your website and chance upon your resume.

We can provide such an empowerment thru a strategic alliance between our websites.

I now await for a positive response to my proposal handed over in person yesterday during our meeting.

With regards

Feedback Form

Rohan

Do you remember some months back we had a “ CONTACT  ME “ button on each resume ?

When clicked, this enabled a recipient recruiter to fill in a small form. When “ submitted “, our server would email this message to the concerned jobseeker.

For some reason we discontinued this.

If, however, we succeed in tying up with Reliance BigTV for a job alert channel, then we must reintroduce this.

Apart from “acknowledgement”, the form should enable recruiter to enter :

Ø  Meet us for an interview on …………..(date )…..at…….(time )…….venue………..(address)

Ø  Upon arrival, contact……………..(Name of Interviewer )

Ø  Confirm by phoning………………..( Phone No)

Then we should be able to deliver this message to the BigTV Server, which, in turn, would display it on the job alert channel of the concerned Channel Subscriber.

This could prove to be a great attraction to subscribe to the job alert channel and make it truly “ interactive “

Do think about this.

Job Alert Channel on BigTV

Dear Vishal / Khalid

Enclosed find a comparison of Job Alert on Mobile – JAM – services of Naukri / Monster / Timesjobs.

Earlier, during my visit to your office, I have given you a comparison between

Ø   DishTV + Monster  Job Channel  ( note : this is NOT a job-Alert channel )

Ø   BigTV   + CustomizeResume  Job Alert Channel

In his seminal essay ( Marketing Myopia ), some 40 years back, Theodore Leavitt wrote,

“ If you don’t make yourself obsolete, someone else will. “

That was before DTH broadcast / Internet / Mobile phones.

If he were to re-write today, he would say,

“ Either you make competition irrelevant or get ready to become irrelevant yourself.’

For all we know, DishTV may already be working on,

                                        Video Interviewing is easy

Next.

How can we make Job Alert Channel to self-advertise ?

Here is one possibility :

When a Job Alert Channel subscriber “ Applies “, our server delivers ( emails ) his resume to the concerned Recruiter / HR Manager.

From such a resume, we will remove all links / references  to   www.CustomizeResume.com

Then replace these with

Ø   Reliance BigTV Logo

Ø   “ Why you’ll simply love us “ write-up from your site

Ø   A hyperlink to the “ Jobseeker Registration “ page on www.BigTV.co.in

Whenever this recruiter forwards that resume to anyone , the hyperlink will stay clickable !

If that job-advertiser happens to be a Recruitment Agency, there is a very good chance that , over the months, he will forward that resume to dozens of his Corporate clients. Just check-out with your own HR Manager how many resumes he receives daily from Recruitment Agencies.

This could become the ultimate “ viral marketing “ – the “ holy grail “ !

Job Alert on BigTV

Dear Mrinal

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

I refer to my email of 17^th 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

Dear Sir

On 17^th 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 21^st 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.

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

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.
