Enclosed folder on “RESUMIX”

• First 4 pages were downloaded from Web, 1 year ago. Rest as far back as 1998 (5 yrs. ago). If you have not gone thru this folder, it may be worthwhile to go thru.

• You may have even studied RESUMIX products during your stay in U.S.A.

• When I re-read today, I got feeling that:

  • Resumix (like our Resumine) is “rule” based.

  • Because of 12 year background, they must have a bigger knowledge-base of “Categories” / “Skills” / Concepts / Acronyms / Synonyms / disciplines / terms / Keywords / Phrases / Sentences / functions / designations / Industries / Edu. quali. degrees / Univ. / college names etc. etc.

  • They have a “closed-loop feedback” mechanism to capture the knowledge-base of client-recruiters.

  • They have 5 components/modules viz:
    → Recruiter’s Desktop
    → Manager’s Desktop
    → Operator’s Desktop
    → SysOp’s Desktop
    → Reports

    { Road-Map for our own “Global Recruiter”? Navin Nangia advised us to show a “Roadmap” to clients }

• Resumix is installed on client’s premises (not a web-service) & V6.0 must be costing $100,000 (= V5.2 cost $75,000).

Resumix advises American jobseekers to format their resumes under following broad/common “headings”:

1. Objective

2. Experience

3. Employment

4. Work History (sub-group/synonyms?)

5. Positions Held

6. Appointments

7. Skills

8. Summary

9. Summary of Qualifications

10. Accomplishments

11. Strengths

12. Education

13. Affiliations

14. Professional Affiliations

15. Publications

16. Papers (sub-group/synonyms?)

17. Licenses

18. Certifications

19. Examinations

20. Honors

21. Personal

22. Additional

23. Misc

24. References

Notes on the right side:

• Not every American jobseeker would use all — for that matter no jobseeker may use all of these “headings”! Every American jobseeker may use some combination of these headings.

• Our American version of RESUMINE would need to recognise these headings & break-up a given resume into several paragraphs before it attempts to extract values for specific fields in each paragraph.

• We should get a good working American version of RESUMINE ready before Nimit leaves for Brussels in May.
