THE CLICK MOMENT - FRAN JOHANSSON




====================================================================================

When I read any book, I scribble my comments / notes in the margins


These reflect my views / opinions about what the author is saying – including my disagreement

Often, my comments are in the nature of telling myself :

Hey ! We should try out this idea in our own business ( Head-hunting / Online Recruitment )

Following are my comments re :

Deshmukh on Dec.15,where, I carried 4 print outs of a letter addressed to prof.pathak, to incorporate my jobs, on Aakash . Deshmukh proposed a non- commercial version, using our site resources / database. I agreed. L&T us wait & watch comes out.

Page no = 04 (3)

·         In my case, may be such a moment was realization that no amount of promo-emailing can popularize my jobs. MAY be the best way was to persuade on tablet, before dispatch. That made me writes an email to sales@datawind.com

·         Two more reminders, still no response. In third mail. I urged the recipient to forward it to sunset’ tuli- CEO.

·         IT “CLICKED” sonnet responded positively I think that was March 2011. But, it was only around MARCH 2012, that the first batch of Aakash Tablets around nov- 2012, But sonnet could preload My jobs only on commercial version (jubilate) –not on Aakash 2 being delivered to IIT –BOMBAY ,

·         But, because of Data wind, I could convince swipe Telecom 2 Tearoom to Do Likewise. Some more are likely to agree. But biggest breakthroughs could well be IIT-B proposal.

Interment enabled smart phones / Tablets / Aakash project of GOI / IIT-B version of my JOBS / jobs RSS feeds / willingness of tablet mfr to pre-load HP-lab Taskelt Technology / Resume Blaster.

·         Could my own Dec 15 conversation with Prof Deshmukh lead to something extraovinary? Could IIT-B .my back door entry?

Page no = 16 (11)

·         Few minutes back, received email from Harish (prof-Deshmukh asst.), requesting some resumes of cameraman / video Reward Even though. We don’t deal with such junior vacancies. I immediately asked sonal to find suitable resumes. & random event? May be.

BUT  I just realized that in our FORMS, under EOD QUALI section, we are insisting on “MEDIUM” OF INSTRUCTIONS” that will allow us to incorporate. “Sort by LANGUAGE” in proposed “ADSHARP”! IF iit version of MY jobs does get installed on 5 million Aakash Tablets, other copy-cats will follow.

Page no = 89 (45)

·         For “my jobs” these will be final year students of various IIT & IIM!!

·         Once registers – and then EDITS- resume on but a jobseeker, who customizeResume.kind of gets “LOCKED IN “

·         Like providing filed for “ MEDIUM of INSTRUCTION “?

Page no = 90 (46)

·         This could well be the case with MY jobs, if IIT-B agrees to preload it on 5 million Aakash tablets. These are going to be distributed to “Govt. owned schools & colleges students, all over India “between Apria DEC. OF this year,

Page no = 91 (47)

Page no = 92 (48)

·         “My jobs” has than 300 competing Apps – except near all “copy “the online “job search” process “MY jobs is the only “FINER” tepee of job- app!

·         What is UNIQUE about my jobs? / NO search / find job matched with “resumes” / RSS feed from servile / making one stop SHOP / pre-loaded on  tablets / IIT VERSION.

Page no = 95 (51)

·         Non – commercial version of my jobs require “interconnectivity” between shuklendu and Prof Deshmukh.  Once IIT-B develop my jobs, agree to upload on their web site AND convince GOI to pre –loaded  it on 5 million Aaksh tablets, imitators, cannot could that ,in fact, fore other  tablet to fail in line & start –loading my jobs on their products ?

Page no = 98 (52)

·         For me the 2 giants are: HP labs & IIT –Bombay and then, each tablet mfr who pre-loads “my jobs “is a mini-giant.

Page no = 104 (55)

·         Obviously IIT team would need support from sentient systems team. We won’t voluntarily “kill” the commercial version of my jobs. BUT .IIT version becomes a run-away success; it may die on its own! No problem we plan to make money from RESUME BLASTER, for which there will be only one version,

IT works me to the necessity of talking directly to someone in IIT-B CONNECTED with Aakash project.

Page no = 111 (58)

·         But I did not anyone IIT-B! So, I phoned and asked primeval Damahe (of LTIT) for help. HE said he knows someone and fixed –up my meeting with Prof Deshmukh it was he who came up with idea of developing a non-commercial version of MY jobs, which would pass muster with IIT-B HRD ministry etc.

·         What was Deshmukh   “insight”? Without compromising on the “Academic” nature of various Apps being developed by IIT develop a non –commercial. Version that 1) benefits Aakash users (standings)

·         2) Beverages our site resources and domain expertise.

Page no = 114 (59)

·         Despite RSS feeds from 4 job portals, our live jobs database is stagnating at around 27000-30.000, at any given time to raise this number TENTIMES, we need to adopt work! Approach viz: getting millions of SME (small, medium Enterprises) to “post” vacancies on our site BUT they have no pc / wired internet, to “access: our site- SOLUTION? A mobile app.
