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,

JIGSAW PUZZLE

Concept Genesis: “Jigsaw Puzzle”

Jigsaw Puzzle

When we were children, we used to play LEGO / Jigsaw Puzzle, etc.

Given a set of jumbled-up (mixed-up) pieces, we had a lot of fun constructing different pictures / shapes / structures, etc.

It is quite similar to Scrabble — and to some extent, to crossword puzzles.

These games “exercised” our brains.
They also tested our cognitive capabilities in terms of relationships between different bricks / blocks / pieces, etc.

So, besides being challenging, these games were a lot of fun!

But as we grow into adults, we don’t get many opportunities to play such games.

But that does not mean that adults have no need for fun or challenge!

Only no opportunities.

 

Applying the Concept to Job Portals

By incorporating the “Jigsaw Puzzle” feature on IndiaRecruiter,

we will provide (adult) jobseekers with such an opportunity.

I have a feeling this feature will become hugely popular.
Now we are increasing the interactivity of an ImageBuilder — something no other job site offers.
This is one more attempt to turn ImageBuilder into a LIFE-FORM.


Empowering the Jobseeker

We are also placing power in the hands of jobseekers — the power to manipulate.
He is the Master.

He decides how he wants HR to see his ImageBuilder,

which is vastly different from the Webmaster deciding it.


Enclosed Concept: SCROLL

(Illustration shows clickable “Small ImageBuilder” → expands into full “Main ImageBuilder”)

P.S.
Clicking on Small ImageBuilder will activate a jobseeker’s profile — same as before.

But in this case, he can do nothing except view it.

However, if he clicks on My Own ImageBuilder,

all features will become operative.

(We can give him a choice of games too!)

“Jigsaw Puzzle / ImageBuilder Customization Panel”

Concept Summary

This page shows how jobseekers could rearrange and personalize the layout of their ImageBuilder — essentially constructing their own digital identity like a LEGO or Jigsaw Puzzle.


Key Text (Transcription)

Dear Jobseeker,

Of course, your ImageBuilder is unique — because you are unique!

The content may be similar, but the arrangement (sequence) of the content makes it yours.

This screen is your chance to customize your ImageBuilder depending upon what you wish to highlight.

By dragging and rearranging the frames below, you can define your own “Default Version.”

Frame 1 – My Function Profile 

Frame 2 – Salary Profile 

Frame 3 – Tenure Profile 

Frame 4 – Career History Block 

Frame 5 – Edu/Qual Block 

Frame 6 – Karmascope 

Frame 7 – Career Track 

Frame 8 – Contact Data 

Frame 9 – Text Resume
