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,

EDS FORM FOR FRESH GRADUATES


Yogesh - Cyril

Enclosed find
    . Data sheet proposal
    . A note on the "rationale"
      behind creating a database for graduates/ about - to - graduate
Why "About - to - become - Graduates" ?
    . Campus interviews for final year students take place each year between Oct - Dec. i.e. much before
       the final  year exams.       
    . In a Way, we are planning to "help" corporate personal chiefs to narrow - down
    (a) List of colleges to visit for campus interview
           (b) List of students to be interviewed at each college
He should access our database sometimes each Any/ Sept. So that he can take above - mentioned decisions (a) & (b) in good time. If this has to happen, the students must enter the EDS (on - line or an floppy) by June/ July, when they are far from graduation. In fact they have just entered their final year by that time.
Why include "Other than - engineering" disciplines? e.g. Medical / Law.
From the view point of
    . Design of form
    . Memory - space on extranet hard disk
It makes very little difference. So we might as well make the form UNIVERSAL / ALL ENCOMPASSING.
My note "EDS on Floppy" (dt. 23-7-1997)
  In this note I have made some points which I would like to re - emphasize :-
    a. Data encryption once entered (de - encryption only in our office)
b. Provision/ facility for anyone to duplicate (make as many copies as desired) EDS FORMAT on       floppies (without   being able to download any data entered on it)
c. Ability to download the form from Extranet
d. Instructions to phone "Help Desk" and obtain PEN (in case entering EDS on floppy) 
e. Instructions on how to log into our Extranet (for future modifications of their resume)

DATABASE OF "GRADUATES"

"ABOUT TO BECOME GRADUATE" ENGINEER/ MGMT STUDENTS
The idea is to build - up a database of such students.
PURPOSES / OBJECTS:-
A. Short - term:-
       To help such student find job
       To help corporate find the right "candidates" for their "Trainee" vacancies.
As of now I am thinking of keeping this service FREE, both to the students and to the corporate. That means we will not collect any fees from either.
The whole idea behind keeping this service FREE is to encourage a very large number of students and corporate to "Register" with us (Become Members) - build up a traffic to our extra-net site - to build - up our corporate image brand.
B. Long - Term
Today’s student is tomorrow's "Executive". Within 2/3 years of taking - up his first - job, such an executive would be an look - out for a "better" job. When he does, we want him to think about 3P and its "services" and come - back to us - and not to any other recruitment agency.
Since we would have their temporary as well as permanent addresses, we could also keep in touch with them thru "circulars" and encourage them to up - date their resume "on - line" once - a - year.
This is our long - term objective.
