are available on www. It will become possible to locate / pin-down a candidate on such a MAP. Now a
Recruitment Manager can NARROW-DOWN his "Resume-search" to any
specific CITY-AREA, instead of entire CITY! Eg: show me only those candidates
who live in Andheri!
In Job Adut form, POSTING CITY could be further refined to
"POSTING AREA" (eg: Posting in Byculla). Now candidate would zero-in
on a specific workn location, which is close to his residence- no more spending

The site does not Carry Google's standard local revenues

How do "businesses" (corporates), get to list their

→ In March (2005), it added a new tool, 5 that allowed. businesses
to create, edit or delete their listings". The Google Local Business
Centre lets businesses change their address, phone no. and other descriptive

If Google makes no revenue (other than "Sponsored"

the new service had no revenue-model and was intended to reinforce
people's association of Google with finding them information. Google has
supplemented its. webpage indexing with business listing databases.

These are a Corporate Employer's
VACANCY PREFERENCES
(as opposed to a Jobseeker's JOB PREFERENCES,
Another "difference:
A jobseeker enters his "job-preferences"
Only Once, and

Whereas,
In the alove scenario, a HR Managers, enters his "Vacancy

Again & again (for each Vacancy)
on his Mobile phone
WHAT CAN HAPPEN NEXT?
WWJ Can "broadcast" each such Vacancy to
"matching" candidates in its database, asking the employer them to
contact the employer.

Of course, if the "broadcast SMS (PUSHED to jobseekers), is chargeable.
to the jobseekers then, we need their prior agreement I permission" to
BROADCAST such "matching-Vacancies" to them - as & when each
vacancy. arises on (l.e. gets posted by corporates. their mobiles).
On the other hand, as in the case. of Airtel, where Job Alerts
(PUSH SMS). are FREE to jobseekers, there may no need to seek their PRIOR
PERMISSION since they don't PAY for Such SMS. If anything, jobseekers.

Would be very happy that, now they get relevant job-alerts (from
corporates) within MINUTES of the Vacancy getting posted" by an HR manager
on his mobile - instead of having to wait till the next day!
60 Where job-alert (PUSH) SMS are FREE it becomes a, WIN-WIN situation
for both
→ The jobseekers
because job alert is FREE and The gets it immediately. He pays
only if he "Applies Online"
The corporates
not because broadcasting. to thousands is FREE, but because,
broadcasting their Vacancies to thousands is almost INSTANTANEOUS!
within minutes.
Remember,
When HR manager posts. his job advt. on ANY jobsite,
→ there is no INSTANT broadcasting
his job advt must await to be
7/8
"DISCOVERED" by jobseekers, as & when they conduct a
jobsearch and "chance" upon it!
Then, again, in order to give his job advt- maximum exposure reach,
the HR manager must post it on several jobsites.
On the other hand, when he posts his job-advt on his mobile, he
need not Visit / log-on any jobsite and fill-up long FORMS.
For an even to HR manager, what would be, much more. What could be
exciting his mobile get a message on Screen, after 10 minutes:

For availing of this FANTASTIC, INSTANT

CONTENT IS THE KING
If you ever wondered, why subhash
Chandra (of Zee TV) agreed to pay Dalmnia (of BCCI) Rs. 1400 Crores for exclusive
rights to broadcast next cricket match series then above diagram will help.
In Fact, after paying Rs. 1400 crores
to BCCI had anticipated to earn Rs.400 cores, by way
of profits!
In a similar way, today's newspapers have. reported that SONY is
purchasing MGM for $ 4.85 billion. I believe TIME-WARNER had offered to buy MGM
for $3.8 billion.
Why?
Ans: MGM films
"owns" 4100 past Holywood. (Exclusive intellectual property Rights).
-and SONY /TIMES WARNER, are after this CONTENT.
They believe, in course of time, when Interactive TV becomes
Common all over the World, they will be able to "SELL" this
"CONTENT" (pay-per-use),for may be, of Course, a $ 10 billion
long-shot gamble. You may call it, SONY'S VISION OF THE FUTURE!
BCCI Could have granted to Zee Non-Exclusive" rights, while
simultaneously granting such "non-exclusive" rights to STAR ESPN NDTV
/ SUN TV etc. etc., also. But then, total may not add up to Rs. 1400 cr. So,
BCCI figured, it was better to grant exclusive rights to ONE party.
3/5
On the other side, Zee Could NOT have got the broadcasting rights
from anyone else!
BCCI has the MONOPOLY on Indian Cricket - the
matches, the player selection,
everything including broadcasting of CONTENT.
So BBCI was able to dictate/extracts its "price", from this.
POSITION OF STRENGTH
(The strength of Monopoly. Supplier).
Same with MGM.
It had created these 4100 films, over last 70 years - and owned
them.
When MGM around the time. did not even started making films - I
was exist! born - TV
So, for MGM, (or for anyone. that time), there was no one else at
way to FORESEE" the potential lying hidden/ trapped, inside these films.
But MGM held onto these films.
Of Course, storing 4100 films on Celluloid tapes (later on plastic
tapes), would have required a very large air-conditioned, humidity-controlled
Warehouse & lots of people.
But, for SONY, it would be. Very different story.
I am Sure, they will digitize these films and store these of DVDs,
needing, on 4100 MASTER-COPIES a small cabin! + back-up copies 2/3 Strategically
on located sewers ( one each in Japan, USA, Europe etc) in different geographic
locations, to insure against fire, theft, Virus, earthquake, riots etc. etc.
What has all of these, got to do with our new venture WWJ ?
Plenty.
WWJ is also an AGGREGATOR of job-advts CONTENT
[-and, although we ourselves, do not create this content, nor do
the jobsites.
Jobsites do NOT think that they OWN this content (good for us).
Ever, corporates, who post these job ads jobsites, do not think
they OWN these on job advt.
Neither jobsites, nor advertisers take any effort to store / preserve this
content So what would it mean to us, if we were. to aggregate & store
10 MILLION job-advts in next 2 years?
100 MILLION job-advts in next 5 years?
Like an Owner of MGM might have said in 1933 I would say,
I DONT KNOW!
But I can assure you of one thing. If 2/5/10 years from now, if
anyone has any need - whatsoever, any reason What-so-ever, to
refer/find/lookup/study any of these job advts, WWJ would be Sitting on a
goldmine of data, whose (the then) value, is difficult to visualize.
If we succeed in building up such a massive database
(terabytes /petabytes), we would be of MONOPOLY OWNER of ONE content in the
world -Whose intrinsic value, only TIME will tell.
My notes
02-08-2004
▷ Real Networks "asked
for a licence from Apple but went ahead with development when there. was no response
from Apple.
Obviously, lawyers of Real Networks must have examined the legal
implications before allowing its Management to "go ahead".
▷ Why did Apple make iPOD
incompatible with songs downloaded from other Music sites?
Ans To create its monopoly, because, if songs downloaded from
other Music Sites can also play on IPOD, then there is a real
danger that may Record Companies A ® get tempted to
tie-up with these other Music sites! - especially, if those other music-sites,
offer them a better deal. as compared to Apple.
But since this is not possible, Record Companies have no choice
except to tie-up with Apple ONLY! - or loose revenue.
In 15 months, I Tune sold download) 100 million songs @ 99 cents
each. That is $99 million ($6.5 million/month) I believe Apple shares 15c-20e
(from 99 Cents) with its "Content-providers" i-e. the Record Label
Companies.
Why not, other Music sites follow Apple's example and develop/menu-
facture/market their own. their own proprietary MP-3 players, compatible with
their own music-sites?
Ans

Music) - and have no expertise, --so-ever, what-s in developing/ manufacturing/markets.
a HARDWARE. It is not their Core- competence" and, if they tried, they
would fail miserably!
Apple heavily "subsidizes" "POD Sales, from its
iTune revenue. So other music-sites too, would have to "play" the
game by Apple's "rules"! They just cannot hope to play-and win - by
Apple's "rules" !
Apple can suddenly drop 99 cents to 49 cents!
Record Label Companies, having already tied-up with Apple, would
think twice before also tieing-up with other music-sites who, in any case, are
not in a position to offer them a better deal than Apple! So, why take risk?
Q: What is Real Networks trying to achieve?
Aus: Break

(for money or in exchange for some other content).
Job Sites
We are spidering job-advts from jobsites and processing thru
JOB-HINER to create a JOBS DATABASE.
In course of time, our attempt In would be for jobsites to give us
JOBS - DATABASE own/willingly / daily, in a on their directly” “usable"
manner. If we can succeed.
in this, we don't need to spider! -and get into possible conflict.
The "carrot" that we will offer to the jobsites. will be
/ can be:
we "deliver" their job ad? to millions of mobile- phone
owners for free. As a result, jobsites will get a lot of free publicity. It
will help. building their "brand"
4 we will offer them free use of "Ground""
software. This will help them attract many more corporate advertisers
we will share with them, say, 10% of whatever revenue share that we get from different MSPs, whenever, a jobseeker clicks “Apply
Online" against one of the job advts, received
from a given jobsite. This is a new ‘revenue-stream"
which they have not ever
thought of!
Considering that, they (jobsites) cannot, in any case, stop us
from spidering /downloading job ads, these How carrots should do the trick.
How can we leverage the jobs database?
To deliver job-alerts to candidates on their mobiles as SMS.
A Create 'CORPORATE DATABASE (extracted a from Job-advts) and
"sell" it to Candidates Corporates MS PS. (of course, online &
automated money collection)
A Create "JOB MARKET ANALYTICS (GRAPHS) and "sell"
(online) to Newspapers / TV channels etc.
Create Job Descriptions (for thousands of actual job titles vacancy-names/positions,
and "sell" these (online on Recruitguru.com) to corporate HR
managers.
send job-alerts to candidates (according to their job preferences,
of course) directly on their "Interactive TV "sets (eg: BSNL/ ATLAS
Interactive. JV, due to be launched by Dec. 2004 in Gurgaon and may be, to Reliance
Broadband (Netway) interactive TV sets, in 2005.

(For this, we will need to subscribe and pay to jobsites).
How can we "leverage" resume-content? Who will want to

Hopefully, JAM itself may succeed. in building-up a sizable
database of Resumes.
But it to build-up may a take • few years a resume database of 100

we can't wait so long.
So, as soon as we can afford " we will Subscribe" to as many

the resumes from all those jobsites, in 2/3 months (for each site). No need for
more than One Quarter's subscription.

WHAT IS HOLDING BACK?
• Corporate advertisers do
not KNOW, who / where are the "right" candidates.
• At least 400 lakh
jobseekers (out of 420 lakh) do not KNOW, which / where are the
"right" jobs. There exists an enormous "Info - Chasm"
between the two sides.
JAM IS THE BRIDGE!
It stands to reason that,
Aggregating those 21lakh
job - advts. (And someday 200 lakhs from all over the world).
Delivering these as
"Job Alert SMS" to 420 lakh jobseekers on their mobile handsets, is
the only practical feasible way to "bridge" the "Info -
Chasm" between the two sides.

THE PROMISE OF JAM
> JAM will ensure that
those normally 'unfilled" jobs get filled.
>When Corporate' s find
that they are now able to fill almost any vacancy quickly and with the most
suitable candidates, they will be encouraged to advertise more often. This
"rub-on" phenomenon itself will create many more jobs which,
otherwise go "unpublicized"
> JAM will provide a
level playing field to the rural/ small town unemployed (- but highly
"employable") - young people, who were, till now, "Information
Deprived". Till now, expensive newspapers and jobsites are
"accessible" to only the rich/ privileged/ urban youth.
>JAM will enable highly
skilled professionals to cross national boundary.

➤JAM
will generate unprecedented mobility/migration of jobseekers from any part of
the country to any other part of the country and thereby, bring about a true
"National / emotional integration" of Indian Society. JAM will help
in fulfilling a citizen's fundamental right to locate and work in any part of
the country!
➤ JAM
will cut down, "vacancy-filling" time from weeks to days, because of
the unbelievable speed with which job - alerts will reach the right candidates
and the speed with which, those right candidates will submit their resumes,
through a simple click on their mobile phones.
➤ JAM
will dramatically cut down the total cost of hiring.
➤ JAM

DELIVERY
CHANNELS
If job alert on mobiles
tums out to be. a rearing it might Success, there is a danger that
immobilize" us Into inaction!
This the problem with
"success" !
Success brings comfort
& complacency. It brings inaction and robs us of curiousity. to experiment
with new things, new ways of doing things. Let sleeping dogs lie! If things are
going great, why stir-up hornet's nest? Don't rock the boat!
This feeling / attitude is
dangerous. Decline starts From here.
This is why, even as we
are preparing to Launch JAM the networks of mobile service. on providers,
should start thinking about our we next delivery - channel to deliver job
alerts.
This is where the enclosed
article becomes interesting.
By end of this of this year,
to launch DTH 3 parties are Services, Viz:
1 Zee TVC Dish TV)
2 Tata- News Corp
(Murdoch's star TV)
3 Prasar Poharati
All
of them are. targeting,
1)
85 million TV sets.
2)
43 million cable homes.
3)
Rural areas
They will pose threat to
1) MSO (eg: Hinduja / Raheja
etc)
2) 60,000 Cable operators
Why?
DTH eliminates cable
operators in distribution chain.
Today, main Value-addition
by Callate operators is
aggregation" of several Channels on one wire.
DTH Will deliver several
"channels" to home directly, from a satellite, thr 184 dish antenna
& a set-top box. No a an intermediary necessary.
In DTH, there would be no
"under-reporting" of "Subscribers as prevalent in Cable System.
Similarity
between CAS &DTH:
Both will charge some flat
fee / channel/month. They may have a flat fee for a " "boquet"
of channels - and also Some free channels. Both will require set-top boxes, but
CAS needs no antenna.
Where does. OUR opportunity lie?
In order to compete with
Cable operators (with or without CAS), DTH Would need to offer some.
“Compelling" content which one can only get on DTH & not on cable.
In West such a content has
been "ADULT" channels. which, of course, will not be allowed. in India.
In a job-starved Country
like India, Where the number of jobseekers (both employed & unemployed)
runs into millions, "job-advts" Content 1 could be such a compelling
content!
I would not be surprised
if in India, a 24-hour M " Jobs-channel" may not channel-with a
become the most popular millions TV of unemployed "glued" to the
Screen for hours together, in the hope of finding / coming job-advts across
those which are must relevant/ appropriate for them to apply.
I Suppose this
(observation) would be equally true of all developing / poor" Countries
Where jobseekers far for exceed. the no. of jobs available.
And
Whether under CAS or under
DTH, a channel would Cost the same per month ( Rs. 10/20/30), whether you view
it for 1 hour/month or for 100 / hours / month I
The rental is tied to"month.
so, for the subscriber,
the only variable. cost is running cost. that of electricity consumed for, the
TV! Rs. 10/209/30 is a "fixed"
And, in JAM, Since we are
already "aggregating" job-advts from jobsites a no of we already have
this Compelling content offer to which we Could Zee/ Tata/ Prasar Bharti.
They could "JOBS FOR
YOU" start with a 30-minute program Computer Viewer- ship, and if proved
popular, go on extending become it a gradually -to ultimately 12hour
job-channel.
Pout this idea/ concept
would "sell", only when we JAM has can show to them that become
extremely popular on Mobiles!
If Zee/ Tata / Prasar
Bharti, can see that then, millions that
is have registered for JAM, a proof that
JOB-RELATED CONTENT
SELLS"
Hence, the right time to
approach them with our proposal would be early 2005. By that time.
→ They would have
launched. DTH
We would have known the
results 9 JAN of Course, DTH
job-channel, as compared to JAM would suffer from following limitations:
▷
There is no Mass-Customization", since jobs cannot be delivered as per
each DTH Subscriber's Job-Preferences".
This (customization) could
come only When Reliance introduces its interactive TV, on its broadband, where
each TV has its own unique IP address.
Till then, a DTH
job-channel is Simply "broadcasting" of Same job a advts. to all
subscribers / Viewers.
We can try to partrally
Overcome this limitation by alloting
different days - and within each day, "different "time", job
advts, belonging to
•
ABC Industry
•
XYZ Function
•
HJK Designation-Levels
•
LMN Cities
etc.
etc.
(Obviously, the largest
share of day / time going to "Entry Level Junior Level" jobs meant
for fresh graduates). There could. be even Specific timeslots for
•
Housewives (after children go to school ?)
•
Temporary Workers
•
Consultants / Retainers Part-time jobs (School children ?)
•
Factory jobs (Craftsmen / Tradesmen)
•
office jobs.
•
outdoor travelling jobs...
•
Jobs for retired persons
•
Jobs for persons who have taken VRS. etc etc
This way each Viewer group
knows when to switch-on their DTH job-channel.
The DTH Second important
"limitation" of a job-channel is
"Lack
of Interactivity"
When on TV Screen, you see
an interesting job, you cannot simply click on your remote to
"APPLY
ONLINE"
(-a tremendous advantage
of JAM).
Snds an
"interactivity is possible, only When "interactive" TV system
arrives. Conce again Reliance? or maybe [net TV] of ATLAS INTERACTIVE &
BSNL joint venture,
scheduled for launch in Gurgaon/ Delhi area by Dec. 2004.
Till Viewer such time, a
DTH joh-channel has following choices:
Note down "Contact
Details" of job - advertiser from TV Screen, then apply directly.
This will mean each to
remain stationary on TV Screen for 2/3 minutes 1 job-advt. has This long pause
would irritate those viewers, who are NOT
Dc/8
interested in that
particular job. Such long- duration, STATIC Screen-shots would also dramatically
reduce that the no. of job advts hour. Can be displayed/ broadcast in an hour.
(May be, someday, TV will
allow Viewer to take Then, a we Can "print-o out" of the screen!
speed-up display).
Note down
Job Advt. Source (Jobsite
Name).
Job Advt Number (of that
Jobsite)
then, at leisure, log onto
the concerned jobsite, search that particular job-advt "(assuming jobsite
has a facility to Search by job-advt. no.), and then click
"APPLY
ONLINE"""
assuming resume earlier,
deposited his resume on on that jobsite and of course 50, other job sites too,
from where, we are downloading & aggregating the jobs).
of course, this method,
would be a slight improvement over 1 & will help us speed up the
broadcasting...
But this assumes that
jobseeker has access to a PC (Internet connection..Under this method, the
jobseeker, would need to Submit/post his resume advance. on in WWJ.com. & obtain his

Ø Once we
succeed in roping-in BSNL for JAM For delivery to its 5 million cell phone
users, We can then, sell them the idea that JAM Can also be delivered to their

Ø We should let
BSNL "sell" this idea (JAN) to Atlas Interactive India ! Now, it
would appear as BSNL
→ brings in

If BSNL has
already "experienced the benefit (revenue) of JAM, they would push this

And Since the
proposition is.

And M I
suppose, a person can click "Apply Online"" on by pushing a
button his [net TV remote.
The prior

same. No change there.
Except
3/6
Since net TV
is already connected to Web/ internet (then broadband), 44 million land- line
phone owners, do NOT to log into need a PC to log in into WWJ.
So net TV
remains the same device Which Submits One thru which one

jobalerts from WWJ.
And the count
of set-top-box will keep count of
the Job

"Apply

Even the

will also get
delivered on net TV
And a Suppose
a net TV Owner "program / Schedule", all of these
activities to

I suppose there
will be no extremally imposed restriction that from that only 5 or 10° job alerts
only, will get delivered. the case would be with moorle- Service providers.
4/6
I suppose,
each individual subscriber (of net TV) may be able to decide/select the number
of job-alerts that be Wishes to receive daily.
You may ask,
if (net TV
behaves quite like a pe and connects to WWI (login), then Why not permit the
jobseeker, to conduct. 4 old fashioned online "you search" and View
the shortlisted resumes and then click the remote, to apply online?
I agree that,
In as much as the (net TV imitates PC/internet Connection, a the main advantage
of JAM, Viz:

capitalize on the we other advantage of "Aggregation".

So, having
replaced a PC with [net TV), they are not saving any TIME, if they still
continue to conduct numerous job- Searches, on numerous job sites, day-after-
day! apart from the fact that they will on also need to post their resumes each
of these jobsites !
They may use
a Save some money (if they Rome-based net TV) as compared to visiting a

But BSNL's
advantage is that it has been sewing /servicing these 44 million landline
Subscribers, all over India, for more than 50 years! They already have

By launching

But they our
are bound to react /respond to "threat" - possibly by coming-up with
something similar to JAM. It is difficult be to original ent never too

And these
jobsites have "deep pockets"! Most have received huge VC Funding.
Most are
moderately profitable too. so, resources Cannot be their problem.
And if their
"Ego" comes in their. way, One of them could easily launch a new site
(a new name) and start downloading / aggregating jobs from the rest!
Whether
someone goes this far or not, we cannot afford to take them lightly. Like a
good Chess player, we musto anticipate the next move (-and the next too!) of
the opponent and be ready with Pour counter-strategy.
What can we
do ?
By keeping up

We
must keep them perpetually on "defensive" This is quite like a boxing

of our "add-ons". Service but not all
Again,
Service once all (or most) mobile- providers tie-up with us for JAM content,
they would be reluctant to tre-up with Second Content- a provider though our
agreements will be even non-exclusive.
Mobile
Service Providers (MSPs) know that, offering identical content / Service (to
their subscribers) from TWO different Content-providers, would terribly CONFUSE
their subscribers 1 This is a risk, they would not like to take.
So, for us,
the trick lies in signing-up all (or major) MSPS within next 4 months before
Monster/Naukri etc. Could come-up with an "appropriate" response.
Once this
happens, no matter how good or appropriate their response, the MSPs, would not
look at them. How could a MSP One day tell his subscribers, to go to WWY 2/3
months and register and they down the line go back and tell them. to now
"re register" on XYZ jobsite ? Such a confusing Signal would be a
disaster!
Therefore,
after initially launching JAM on ensure that BPL Network, we must it becomes so
popular amongst BPL subscribers that a large no of them register.
If we can
manage 1 lakh BPL Subscribers to register on whit within ONE MONTH, that would
clinch the deal
The Signal,
would be loud & clear, not only to BPL management on the ent also to all
other MSPs, who are, as yet, undecided / sitting fence and weighting their
"optrons"!
Thru such a
RUSH" of initial Subscriptions we have to create in the minds of
other MSPs, a fear psychosis Viz:
Am I getting
left-out of JAM Boom?
Adding

the many things that we can do to attract a on large no. of jobseekers to
register WWJ in a short period of time.
And then, to
create a virtuous Cycle/ ་་ self- fulfilling prophesy", we will a daily publish/
broadcast the "Daily & Cumulative no." of registration"

we
had thought of this URL for our Sister-site (to Recruitguru). It is not available.
This
morning I looked-up availability of interesting significant URLS enclosed and
came up with list. The better sounding. ones are all taken
But, amongst
those available, I like best
# world-wide-jobs.com.
# world-jobs.com
(next best)
This
is because:
For
jobseekers to feel curious interested in a website, the word "Jobs"
has to be

in the URL.

For a
great majority of Indian jobseekers, word " career has none little
significance. Job is what is understandable/Sought after the length &

when
it comes to searching / hunting for jobs!
We
have already compiled (downloaded) over 160,000 jobs so far (from Naukri /
Monster). and continuing to download 5000/ day. As Soon as Abhi locates/develop
a web-spider, We could download. 20,000 job-advts / day & Vitthal can be
free for other interesting work.
Why
do we need to build-up a job-advts database of 5 lakh advts?
Ans:
NO
Indian jobsite has such a large job-advt database -individually.
Monster
Naukri | Jols Ahead will never think of downloading job aduts from. each
other’s. Websites! That would be worse than Suicide!!
So in
the absence of an AGGREGATOR website (like www. Direct employers.com in
America), Indian jobseekers, are forced to visit all the major jobsites. -and
that too daily. There is no "ONE STOP SHOP" available to Indian. jobseekers.
If
some Indian jobsite were to become such a "ONE STOP SHOP, I think,
jobseekers, in future, will only. Visit that jobsite & no other! If they
can find ALL jobs advertised on Monster / Naukri Jobs Ahead/ Job street etc- on
www.world-wide-jobs.com
then why on earth, should they want to visit each of these sites?
Since
www.world-wide-jobs.com.
would
be, by nature, an "Aggregator only, it would not have any EGO / PRESTIGE
issue about downloading advts from any no. of jobsites & displaying.
We
would be doing a great SOCIAL SERVICE to jobseekers 1- FREE
We
would be doing a great COMMERCIAL SERVICE to employers, too! FREE
Both

Image Builder - Career History" section.
I presume
(pl. Correct me, of I am wrong). that once launch our well service, every email
resume received (online or offline would be "extracted", then
converted Image Builder" version
and
then
uploaded on. our website. Every single resume.
Then
only, jobseekers can log-in (using their password) User ID and "Edit it
online.
This
(ability-to-edit-online) feature is very Important, because nearly 100% of the
Image Builders uploaded, would contain a BLANK "career-History"
section!
And I
suppose, we would want the jobseekers to login of course, enter this data
online (-and be able to download too).
Now,
it is quite possible that a job seeker may log-in 2 edit once-a-year.
In
fact, we will build an automatic reminder system, which would remind him to do
so.
It is
also quite likely that the candidate. has changed his job when he logs-in edit/update.
But in
Image Builder, there is provision for only 4
jobs-history (including current)
so
now what can Concerned Candidate do? how can he edit? Career History section.
Does
he re-enter everything all over again?
OR
he
Can go on adding any no. of jobs – (career-history), since. he is ONLINE and
software does" not restrict him? Then again, If ONLINE,
he can enter even 15 job history, “what would happen, when he tries to
email his updated Image Builder?
print
his updated Image Builder?
Whereas
I appreciate that Image Builder may have restrictions "OFFLINE, we must
ensure that, ONLINE there are no restrictions (on no. of job-history), because,
for each candidate, we want to capture. entire LIFE-HISTORY from birth onwards!
