Pending Assignments

1. Butterfly Resume (Project EGO)

Form will be ready by today evening, but, as suggested by Nirmit, we will not start “despatch” for 3/4 weeks.

This being the case, I strongly feel that we use this 3/4 weeks time to:

→ Upload Butterfly versions of all 60,000 on our website.

→ Ask jobseekers to edit their resumes “online” on our website, so that not only database gets “updated” automatically but candidates also fill in additional screens of:

• Salary progression

• Career progression (Designation-levels)

In any case, we always preferred ONLINE editing by candidates. Now that we have agreed to delay Project EGO by 3/4 weeks, we may as well implement this too.

Graphs which will get generated (for each candidate) using/utilizing the data entered by each candidate.

In fact, no candidate will take the trouble to submit his data, unless he is able to:

→ See what kind of graphs will get generated (seeing is believing!)

→ “Interpret” the graph (where exactly does he stand vis-a-vis comparable executives)

→ Visualize the “benefit (what-is-in-it-for-me)” for himself (better/higher annual increments, higher salary offers from potential employers).

We must show him blank graphs & say:

“Dear Friend,

If you – and thousands of others – submit data requested in following input-screens, you will get to see these (2) graphs, constructed from data supplied by all of you.

The more the no. of executives submitting this data, the more accurate/representative these graphs become. Everybody benefits, as database keeps growing & growing.”

also see my note dt. 13/01/03 (Pattern Recognition)

Once we have large enough database, we would provide following additional, FREE service:

• Graphs which compare your “Salary/Designation” with executives who
  • are same Age / Experience / Edu-level
  • belong to same Industry / Function
  • carry same “Designation-Level”
  • earn same “Annual Gross Salary”

• Graphs which compare the “Rate” at which your salary is growing over the years (% increase) as compared to the profile of your peer-group.

If you don’t have all the data handy right now, just download these pages, fill-in OFFLINE at your convenience on a print-out, then log-in once again & enter.

Don’t do submit, because only those individuals will get to see/download their profile-graphs who take the trouble to submit their own data first.

Regards.

PS: Graphs will be emailed to you, as soon as we have enough data.

2. Project Manhattan Probability Tables & Software, which intelligently decides which function/job-adverts to upload on which job-sites — and then actually goes ahead & uploads automatically.

3. Project BLACKHOLE (Myriad)

4. India Marketer Module (See my detailed note)

5. Project CYBER (See my notes dt. 27/04/03, 29/04/03, 02/05/03, 08/05/03)

6. Project HOROSCOPE (dt. 04/05/03)

7. Any other?

Not all of these are equally urgent & equally important.

What is important is to prepare a PROJECT-PLAN, which assigns “priority” to each (based on their “Revenue-Generating potential”), fix “start-time” & “end-time” (with given resources).

Then, we can review the progress once-a-week and re-fix priorities/dates where needed.
