Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

COMPENSATION - SURVEY

Nirmit / Nagle Saheb
 Let us discuss after you had opportunity to study enclosed not.
 All the "raw - data" required to implement this project is already entered/ available in our database.
 What we need is a software (a statistical Analysis Package) to process this data and prepare the graphs for analysis.
Once each graph is printed, anyone can write - down "observations Findings".
 And in this ease, we can genuinely claim our own "Authorship". We will also find a number of "buyers" if done quickly since Nirmit's remarks in Business world (Coming Salary squeeze) are still fresh in the minds of corporate.

LOGIC FOR NAMES OF COMPANIES







LOGIC FOR DECIPHERING "NAMES OF COMPANIES"

There are following alternatives.
 ALT # 1
 Create a MASTER - DIRECTORY of (say) 20,000 companies - names & store in memory.
Then anytime one of these names appears in a bio - data being scanned, and then the computer will recognize it (string of matching words) as a COMPANY NAME.
 ALT # 2
 Under this alternative, we try to devise logic. The logic can be what are the most commonly occurring words which proceed a "COMPNAY NAME”?
If there are no more than 10/15 such
·     Words or
·     Phrases or
·     Sentences
 then, it would be easy to identify a COMPANY - NAME as being, the "String of Words" following such words/ phrases / sentences. Let us see. The words/ Phrases found are as follows.
1. Worked with "        " as
    Worked as  ....... with...........
2. Presently working with ............as........
    Presently working as ............ with........
3. Joined...........
    Joined as ......... with..........
4. Posted for 2 years working
    Assignment at ...........
5. Transferred to.........
6. Working as........... in..........
     worked as ......... in ...........
7. Worked as ......... with / in ...........
 8. Since....... I am working as ..........
      For............
9. Nearly ten years in reputed concerns like: ............
10. At present I am holding a Key - position in ..............
       Division of.............
11. I am holding a key position in..........
12. I started as a management trainee with........
13. I started my career as.........
       In.............
14. Currently working as ................ with ..........
15. Working as Profit - centre head of ............
16. At present with ...............
        At present working with ..........
17. Joined as ................ in ...........
18. (Designation) in (Name of Company)
 19. Associated with ............
20. (Co. Name)   as  (Designation)
21. Since (date) I am working as (designation) in ...........
22. From (date) to (date), I was associated with ...........
23. Was deputed to ........... as .........
24. Was a consultant to .........
25. Also worked with ...........
26. Work experience at ............
27. I have worked for more than 10 years in...........
28. I have been working for more than 10 years in .........
Third alternative ?
1. Names starting with "M/S"
2. Names ending with
       . LTD
       . LIMITED
       . PRIVATE LIMITED
       . PRVT. LIMITED
       . (P)
       . (P) LTD
       . PVT LTD
       . (I) LTD
       . INDIA LTD
       . ENTERPRISES
       . (INDIA) LTD
  Fourth alternative
 Some candidates are very systematic and provide company - Name in a structured manner as
a. In a tabulation where one of the column reads "Employer" / Organization/ Company" etc.
b. Name of Company : ............
      Duration              : ...........
                    Designation         : ...........
                    Job - Profile / Responsibility : ............
 By itself (alone), none of the above mentioned alternatives, would give a 1005 accurate result. We may have to use all of these in a combination, perhaps in the following order :-
 First Logic .......... All # 4  (Check for structure/ tabulation)
Second Logic ......... Alt # 2   Check Proceeding / Succeeding words
Third logic  ...........   Alt  # 3   check for "Tell - tale" signs
 Fourth logic ........ Alt # 1   Compare with "Master Directory"
I could be wrong and may be the easier/ faster method could be to reverse above - mentioned order.

LOGIC TO ELIMINATE THE JUNK

Biodatas contain a lot of junk. Apart from patently irrelevant information’s, there are some pieces of information’s which are of "no immediate interest" to a client - company (although these could be of some use at a later date if that candidate gets employed with that client.
While scanning, we must weed out such USELESS INFORMATION.
What are these?
1. Marital Status
2. Hobbies / Other Interests
3. Extra - Curricular Activities
4. References:
 We need to retain this info. in our database in order to contact these person for "antecedent", but we do not wish to give - out this info. to clients in our converted bio - data.
5. Nationality:-
  As of Now, this info. is not relevant as long as our placement service is confined to
·     Indian Candidates
·     Indian Client - Companies
But
With our alliance with Foster Parner Global Network, we may, before long, expect to place.
·     Indian Executives in Foreign Cos.
·     Overseas Executives in Indian Cos.

At that time, we will need this info. We may even have to introduce this in our EDS (Executive Data Sheet).So let us keep it, wherever given.
6. Seminars Performed
 Seminars Attended
Training Programs attended
Other Courses attended
Conferences attended
7. Under - Graduate level Educational Qualifications   e.g. SSC/ HSC/ PUC   etc.
8. Scholarships
9. Sports/ Sportsmanship
10. Competitions (participated / won)
11. Career Objective Professional Objective
  All American Bio - datas start with a 2/6 line statement of career objectives. Indian Executives rarely mention this.  We may have to retain this in view of our desire to "go - global", also to go on NET.
12. Under "Edu. Qualifications"
        Long list of "topics - subjects" studied. This is wholly un necessary. However, for a candidate who is already a ph. D. or who is studying for this Ph. D (D. Sc), the subject of his THESIS / RESEARCH, if mentioned by him, should be faithfully reproduced. Quite often, this is of considerable intersect/ relevance to a potential employer.
13. Place of Birth
14. Height / Weight/ Glasses etc.  Health Status/ Physical data/ Personal Data.
15. Passport No./ Visas
16. Father's Name
       Family Member's Names
       Dependents
      & their addresses/ occupation/ Education etc.. 
17. Position Held out School/ Colleges Such as
          Scout Master
          Head Boy
          Master of Ceremony
          Perfect
          Treasure
          Seentary
          Chairman
18. Dramatics/ Public Speaking
19. Religious applications
20. Social affiliations (Rotary Club/ Lions Club. etc)
21. Copies of
          . Appointment Letters
          . Salary Certificates
          . Service Certificates
