Thy own “in sight “job portal

If jobs widget ( under
designing by HP-LABS) becomes a hit with jobseekers, we will convene HP-LABS to
work on RESUHES widget ,which, at the touch of a finger on touchscreen mobiles,
will turn-up “matching” resumes for the Recruiter . Then, if he likes, he will
touch a button

On his device, and that
resume will get emailed to him. For doing this, a recruiter will either

Post a job Advt on our
website, or create a “candidate

Thru “power” of touchscreen

who are currently of job-related in jobs widget too, will be / easy to use /
free / for millions In the next couple of years, there will be, literally, an
explosion of touchscreen devices, of new way of interactions, of seemingly
unlimited memories, of huge bandwidths, of powerful new technologist deliver
content everywhere, we must focus on content those job-seekers & Recruiters
want. I have had “Making job-searching obsolete” is my goal.

In India , I don’t’ think, there
is any experience more” exhilarating” to millions of remote jobseekers than to
get a –job-offer. It an emotional experience if jobs widget (being designed by
HP laves ) can give this experience, it will become a hit,

We will remove SMS –BASED jobalret

Like those 3 sketches on “

Almost 10 years back, I wrote

In India , today , smart phones
have a market share of perhaps no more than 10% of all mobiles sold But CHEAP / low end smart phones are being
introduced every week. Market share could reach 50% in 2/3 years this (future)
is comical for success of jobs widget

A “ device ‘ in search of “ Applications”- to
make it “ useful” to “ customers” jobs widget will be an App
·
That can run on many devices.
Android to begin with Apple op system next. I have already drafted a letter for
sending to mfre. Of Android phones in India urging them to pre –install jobs
widget before phone leaves the factory.

·
What is here, that “unmet
need” which becomes an opportunity for launch of jobs widget?
·
There are millions of
jobseekers- all over India- who have mobile phones – but no access to pc/
internet. They are unable to “access” jobprotals to conduct job searches online
& then “Apply online “
·
But if they can use their
mobile to access jobalret and also apply directly from mobile, then that would
be a great opportunity to “meet their need”
·
This is how sms – based task
let got launched 1 year, I don’t’ know why! So, now, I plan to launch jobs widget
(for smart phones) to meet that “unmet” need. Let us see.
·
I must wait & see!

What “next” to jobs widget to

I just sent

job widget!
Page no 135
·
Can / will, job widget tum
the fortunes of Recrutguru?
Page no 136
·
May be this B the reason,
sms-based JAM never caught on! One had to memorize 3 sms messages and a long
phone no (9756510001) in order to get one job alert & app by! No wonder it
failed!
·
Jobs / widget reduce to just

If jobs widget succeeds, my
next step would be to modify resume-parsing engine (guru mine)
·
As a free downloadable “Tool “(Resume
Parser) and make it available to Recruiter around the world.

This is exactly what my
father wrote to me when I failed at uni-billions in 1956. Rather than “shaming”

This could well be true .it
is a logical at come of collaboration between Google & mobile manufactures.
But still, last month, Android-based smartphones reached market share (of
phones shipped in Aug. 2011) of 42% overtaking Apple ios based phones! And most
people neither use nor care for all the features incorporated in smart phones!

While designing customize.com
(and the other 6 jobprotals that proceeded) I never consulted anyone! Despite- that this morning 3p website was on

I my early years, in the

He needs to travel to nearly
small town – only once- to submit resume on our site. Thereafter, he can see

NO typing of SMS just two touches of his finger! That’s all will jobs widget
provides level –playing field to millions?

I stressed his aspect (of
simplicity of use) with Revathi (HP labs), right from beginning in 2010. But
sms based Task let did not meet that objective, and never took off.so, in July
2011, I renewed my request for for a 2 touch process on smart phone.

We will know when jobs widget is
delivered next week.

We have 3 big daddies of job
portals Naukri / monster) timesjobs.And they would show to jobseekers only
those job-Advt which get posted on their respective sites by recruiters But we
“aggregate” (thru RSS feeds) and show ALL, IN ONE PLACE!
Page No 189
·
A jobseeker just does not
care from “where” we get our job Advt –( and how) .ALL he wants is many option
to choose from- then click / touch a button deliver his resume those are his
“needs”
Page no 191
·
Customize Resume is very vulnerable
due to its dependence on RSS feed of job-Advt from the 3 big daddies, if they
stop RSS feeds, are doomed. To an extent, I can reduce the risk by getting RSS
feeds from hundreds of job portals. If jobs wide greet becomes a hit may get
easy to persuade them.
Page no 192
·
I have thought of making a
(homemade) 30/45 second video which would show a jobseeker
1)
Look around to ensure that
boss is not watching
2)
Pull out smart phone from his
pocket
3)
Touch jobs icon an screen
4)
Read , displayed job Advt
5)
Touch APPLY button screen
6)
Read flashing message on
screen “thank you tour resume has been. Emailed to job advertiser (job ID…………”)
it should be easy to shoot upload such a video.

It is quite possible that when we
launch jobs widget on Oct 06.2011, some of the candidates receiving our promo
email, may not find any “matching” jobs and fed disappointed but I hope they
will love the ease of use “widget.
Page no 201
·
Why should job seekers feel
“enthralled” with widget?
·
Ease of use / just 2 touch
·
NO need for pc / Internet (
great for most Indians )
·
NOT to search for jobs on
portals, day- after –day
·
Mobile by ( Apply any time ,
anytime, from anywhere )
·
Free.
·
By now Android Phone have
over 300.000 apps! I this very likely that Naukri etc. will create their own
widgets.
Page no 203
·
Today job portals are acting
as a “middleman” between jobseekers & recruit terse as...a kind of
“Bulletin Board which both search.
·
To begin with, jobs widget
will eliminate are concerned. On their mobiles, they will get jobs from Naukri
/ monster / click jobs (more will get added later) and they will Not need to
register / submit” on all of these portals.
·
When we in traduce RESUMES widget,
even recruiters will have “jobs thru RSS feels jobsites, we will
aggrerute”Resumes” from Recruiter themselves thru Resumes Exchnge.com
·
When we launched. 3pjobs.com.
Page no 207
·
Where jobseekers use jobs widget,
they will get an experience of “shopping”- albeit with limited options! on jobprotals,
a search throws up 2000 job Advt !
·
How can anyone search thru
such a heap?
·
Read “paradox of choices”
most people want others (experts) to help them make-up their mind’s while
buying.
·
I hope, widget would orate a
mass movement aimed at “obsoleting job search on jobprotals”
Page no 208
·
Jobs widget will make “perfectly
matching” jobs available “any time “you choose.
·
To view! No hurry! Unlike “
search Results “ disappear a job search on a jobprotals – which “ disappear the
moment you “ Refine” Or Conduct Another Search One Improvement is that jobs
against which user “ applies should disappear from the list.

Each smart phone hosting a
jobs widget would become a “demo center “–and mobile one!

This would become especially
so , if HP labs succeeds in enabling several jobseekers use the same phone

jobs only Steve jobs & jobs –may run
parallel !

JOBS WIDGET IS “radically

In India, more than 47

Revathi (H P LABS) team has been testing jobs widget for past 2
week. When it is delivered in 7 days from today, I am sure, it will work
flawlessly.it is for Android but Apple ios will be next.

I believe Apple sold 9
million dung April June 2011 – and 3 million pads 2 as well,
Page no 227
·
When Revathi team (at HP
labs) develops jobs widget for I o s and uploads on Apple store, we should keep
it “FREE” will these widgets work from anywhere in the world?
·
Some 15 days back, I came
across www. Apps Bar. Com, which I
referred to both Revathi and Shuklendu.
I tried create one App myself but could not!
Page no 228
·
Every resume emailed to
recruiters, by our servers, carries a link, www.customizeResume.com. Hopefully, that will create awareness about our site among recruiters.
I will now change that link to “Free App for Smart phones”
Page no 230
·
Jobs widget is (I hope)
supposed to work on touch-screen devices- when device is a 3” mobile or a
9”Tablet. Someday soon, we will have 21 “touchscreen TVs too.
·
Jobseekers should be able to
see use JOBS widget from a tablet as well job Advt is content. So are resumes.
Page no 231
·
In “Jobsearach by job Tittle”, we
have 2+ million job Advt.in “jobs Archive” so far we have 200000 job advt. in
“job suggest” we have 340,000 job Advt .
·
ALL of these will steadily grow.
One day, this content will become a
“treasure, this content will become a “treasure trove”
·
We too, must usher a social
revolution, by making available, job- related content on mobile phones to
millions of jobseekers in villages-where internet will not reach for 10 years.
·
If jobs widget becomes a wild
success, I will write to him? (One of us will have –not enough time- may bell)
