Ideally, by diverging from resumes (-an excising species), I
should have named the new species as Profiles.
·
That also means, I should have called our new website WWW.
Customize-profile .com

But then, such a nor would jobseekers name will not get
immediately grasp what easily “understood” this site can do for then
·
It is quite possible that not every jobseeker may want to “customize”
his resume.

If we succeed in “creating a new market”–of Customized
resumes-then at least for some time to come we can have 100% market-share

If jobseekers did not register on India Recruiter.net for last
21 years, would they register on it, now, because, it offered “customized
Resumes”? it would appear like a line extension” it is therefore best that
“customized Resume” is not associated with India Recruiter.

I hope, the new name (Customize Resume.com) would resonate as a
category.

If only we can make/motivate a few thousand jobseekers to

This scenario may
also apply to us when we launch customize-resume.com If every jobseeker has his
resume on Naukari/Monster/Times job, who would want to submit resume on our
site? And why? How will we break the resistance?
·
May be by
parsing/uploading 3 lakh text resumes then inviting that candidate to
come/edit/customize.

‘Customized Resumes”
have no chance of becoming “Industry standard – unless, for some reason (what?)
HR Mgrs insist on Customized resumes. Why should they?

To what “segment” of
jobseekers, will customized Resume appeal? Obviously those jobseekers, for who,
their test resumes on Naukari/Monster/Times jobs, have failed to bring in a

we don’t know WHO these guys are!
