Layout: Customize Resume

By: Alex

Dear Jobseeker,

Why must you customize your resume? It is obvious. Amongst thousands of plain text resumes flooding the mailboxes of recruiters, your plain text resume has a very poor chance of getting noticed — even if your resume is the most suitable for the vacancy. It does not even get a chance to "fight-it-out"!

Result? No "notice" -> no interview call -> no job!

If your resume is your only "Marketing Document", you must ensure that it gets "read" by the recruiters. Which can happen only if your resume "stands out". And there is only one way you can make it "stand out" — by "customizing" — not "re-writing" it.

You have following choices:

Perish with plaintext resume [Box]
Conquer with customized resume [Box]

Title: Job Search

Dear Jobseeker:

Even without login, you can conduct a job search and find many suitable jobs here. Not surprising considering our database hosts over 2 lakh job-advts.

But that is something you can do on any other job portal. And if you have submitted your resume on those job-portals, you can also "Apply Online."

Then wait, and wait, and wait; hoping to hear from the advertiser (— I call it "hoping against hope"!)

But when you "Apply online" from here, keep your Mobile "on and charged" to receive interview-calls from Advertisers. Because your Customized Resume has got them mesmerized!

Functional Note:

First login and then select which Customized Resume Version you want us to forward to the Advertisers, when you click "Apply Online."

Title: Resume Blast

Dear Jobseeker:

Here is a list of several thousand Employers/Recruitment Agencies to whom you can blast your "Customized" resume—absolutely FREE. You can even do it in stages—over a period of time. Whenever you login, we will show you to whom you have already sent your resume—and when. So there is no fear of duplication.

First login and then select which profile/version you wish to forward.

Just like icons on your desktop—which you keep "re-arranging" from time-to-time, to give your desktop a NEW look, simply drag icons from MASTER/DEFAULT resume and drop into CUSTOMIZED VERSION, in whichever order you want. Then click [VIEW]. If happy click [SAVE] and Name the saved version. You can create hundreds/thousands of versions, but may save a max. of 3 at anytime.

You do NOT need to drag/drop all icons from the MASTER to CUSTOMIZED. Even ONE will do.

Title: EDIT RESUME

Dear Jobseeker:

This is where you edit your resume—then re-customize it, if you had submitted it ONLINE in the first place and obtained your User ID / Password.

But you may have received from us, an email saying: "We had your text resume in our database which we have uploaded—and your User ID / Password are ABC/XYZ." If so, such a resume would certainly need editing because our software may not have "extracted" some data at all or accurately.

As soon as you login, your resume will appear below—ready for editing:

And a promise, not to flood your mailboxes with plain text resumes!

Of course, to use our free services, you will need to Register. But before that take a FREE TRIAL, to discover how the "customized Resumes" which you will get in your mailbox will simplify your life, and dramatically improve the quality of your "hiring decisions".

Title: Post Job

Dear Recruiter:

The Post Job form you see below is quite typical. But you will like the following features:

Writing "terrific" job descriptions is not easy. You wish you could see a SAMPLE/TEMPLATE, which you can edit to suit your unique requirements. No problem. Just type "Job Title / Designation"—then click "Get Job Description online"—and copy/paste.
You can indicate "Salary Offered" in 4 different currencies (Indian Rupees / US Dollars / Euro / British Pound). This will come in handy for Foreign Recruiters wanting to recruit professionals from India (or vice versa).
The moment you select "Function", we fill-up the "skills / Knowledge keywords" box with relevant keywords. Feel free to delete/add.
You can delete your Job Advt whenever you like.

Scan_0017.jpg

Title: Resume Search

Dear Recruiter:

Our Resume Search form may look quite conventional. But the search-results are anything but conventional! Notice the following "differences"—all meant to enable you to "zero-in" on the most relevant candidates, "superfast":

You get to see graphical/analytical "customized" resumes. Once you have seen these, you will never want to read a "plain text" resume anymore.
All "Salary Graphs" will be shown to you in the currency of your choice (Indian Rupees / US Dollars / Euro / British Pound). This enables "Apple for Apple" comparison of candidates working in any part of the world and getting salaries in different currencies.
In search results, resumes are arranged in the descending order of "Percentile Score"—with the BEST candidates at the top!

Title: First Impression

You get only ONE chance to make a good FIRST impression. And that FIRST impression (of User experience) often spells the difference between success and failure.

You just don't get a SECOND chance! So, we must pull out all stops. So, what can we do to amaze the jobseekers—without him having to give us lots of extra data/form filling?

See enclosed graphs A, B, C.

Graphs A and B can be generated with the SAME data that we are capturing for SALARY-GROWTH graph.

In developing these graphs, I have assumed:

Starting salary = Rs. 100,000
Last salary = Rs. 150,000
Over a period of = 5.5 years

Scan_0019.jpg

Page 2

To find out what was the "Compound Annual Growth Rate (salary)", apply the formula:

$$ES (End Salary) = SS (Starting Salary) \left[ 1 + \frac{r}{100} \right]^t \text{(elapsed period)}$$

$$150,000 = 100,000 \left[ 1 + \frac{r}{100} \right]^{5.5}$$

$$\therefore r \text{ (Compound growth rate)} = 7.65\%$$

This is same school-Arithmetic formula to find "Compound Interest Rate" for "growth of money".

Maybe you can find some readymade software-code for this formula on the Web (—Google Code?).

And, we are anyway capturing:

ES
SS
Period

Scan_0020.jpg

Page 3

For meeting 6th Nov. target, we can simply write CAGR as shown in A.

At a later date, we could create a separate graph like B or C.

B is relatively simple.

But C is of greater interest/value to both jobseekers & recruiters alike. It tells the candidate whether his "compound salary growth over a period of years" is keeping "pace" with salary-growths (of course "AVERAGE") of his co-professionals or is he falling behind.

Absolutes are of less interest than "relative standings"—especially amongst "peers".

If we are able to directly develop C, then we should bypass B and go straight to C.

In the meantime target A for Nov. 6.

Scan_0021.jpg: Salary Growth Graph (Graph Sheet)

This page contains three hand-drawn graphs illustrating salary progression.

Graph A: Shows a step-wise progression of annual salary over 6 years.

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) = 7.65%

Graph B: "My Compound Annual Salary Growth Rate"

Shows a point-to-point comparison over 5.5 years.

Graph C: Comparison Graph

CAGR (salary) of co-professionals: 8.4%

Launch

Now that we have shifted the launch date (Nov 6), we must launch entire section/features for jobseekers at one go. That would include:

All "stages" (of jobseeker "Submit Resume") — Including "Salary-Growth" graph.
Resume Blast

"Salary-Growth" graph is likely to be a key attraction feature. If it does attract a large majority of jobseekers who fill up that data, then, without asking for any extra data, we can develop and offer one more graph for customization purpose, as shown below:

[Frequency Distribution Graph]

Criteria: Function = Sales // Level = Middle
Y-axis: % of Instances (of job-change) amongst selected population.
X-axis: Average % of Salary-jump during job-change $\rightarrow$
The graph depicts a Bell Curve peaking at approximately 12.5%.

Scan_0023.jpg: Launch Strategy (Page 2)

Such a frequency-distribution (of salary-jumps at the time of job-change) should be of great interest to both the jobseekers and the recruiters.

In fact, using some starting "fake" data, if we are able to show this graph, then that itself may prove to be a powerful incentive to a jobseeker to furnish the data required for "Salary Growth" graph.

If he is considering a job-change (— otherwise, he has no reason to submit his resume on our website, in the first place), then he would want to know:

"During job-changes, what kind of salary-jumps are my co-professionals getting?"
"What kind of jump can I ask from my potential employer (the interviewer) by pointing out at this AUTHORITATIVE graph?"
"Am I getting a good offer or a raw deal?"

With such thoughts passing through his mind, we won't have to do much "selling" to him to fill-up the data required for "Salary-Growth" graph!! Maybe Naukri can provide you with the "starting" data!

Scan_0024.jpg: Function Graphs

Circulation: Shalaka $\rightarrow$ Punam $\rightarrow$ Rahul $\rightarrow$ Alex

Function Graphs

[Growth Curve Graph]

Y-axis: Percentile Score $\rightarrow$
X-axis: Raw Score $\rightarrow$
Highlighted Point: Raw Score = 32.64 | Percentile = 70.80

I understand that you are not able to draw vertical/horizontal lines to intersect with X-axis / Y-axis. But, if you can place a Circle $\oplus$ around the intersecting points, that would go a long way for a candidate (or a recruiter) to quickly GRASP the concept of "MY STANDING."

Once we have respectable no. of "registrations" (in each FUNCTION/SKILL), then we will add, at the top of each graph: [Population Size = 2369].

Instant Everything — Urgent & Important

Earlier too, I have written a note on this subject. Irrespective of Lord Krishna's teachings in Gita re: "Continue working without expectation of fruits," fact remains that, the message that is getting deeper & deeper "embedded" in the psyche of ordinary people is, "stop that work which does not produce immediate results."

MBA colleges and Management Gurus have repeatedly endorsed this message! As a result, people expect their efforts to produce "immediate results—instant everything."

Scan_0039.jpg

For things that take time to "materialize", people have no patience. On the other hand, "actions" that immediately yield "fruits" are highly appreciated—and get no. of times "repeated".

This "instant feedback loop" is built into all modern-day robotics software. This is also the principle which we have employed in "Customization". The moment a candidate clicks on "Preview" button, a new/different image emerges in front of his eyes! Like a POLAROID camera! Today's digital cameras do the same trick of instant gratification.

When we launched IndiaRecruiter in Feb 2007, we had employed this principle.

Scan_0040.jpg

As soon as a candidate submitted his resume, a message—and a result table—used to pop-up below—immediately, saying:

Dear Candidate:

Here are a few matching job-advts, which are ideally suited to your experience / background. You can now "Apply Online" against any:

[Search Results Table]

This was an excellent application of the principle of INSTANT GRATIFICATION.

In fact, later-on, I believe...

Scan_0041.jpg

other job-portals too, adopted this idea.

Only, we had to "drop" this wonderful idea!

Because, at that time, in our online database, we had "NIL" or "maybe 20" job-advts!

So, invariably, the results said "Sorry, No matching Jobs"!

We were forced to withdraw this feature quickly because it was giving us a lot of BAD PUBLICITY!

We had a good idea but a bad execution!

But it is different NOW.

Now, we have 2 lakh + job-advts online.

Scan_0042.jpg

If we "re-introduce" this feature now in Customize Resume, we are in a position to show to the candidates, many many "suitable/matching" jobs instantly, the moment he completes Registration (Stage 1).

We provide him an opportunity to be "amazed"!

We can further "leverage" his feeling of amazement, by writing on top of Search-result tabulation:

Dear Executive

Here are some job-advts, which match your experience / skills / edu. / background. Now that you have completed your Registration, you can "Apply Online" against any of these, if you wish.

Scan_0043.jpg

But don't!

You should "Apply Online", only when you are 100% confident of getting an Interview-Call.

This will happen once you complete all the STAGES of your resume and customize your Resume.

When you complete the last STAGE, click on button:

[ SHOW MATCHING JOBS ]

Then Apply Online.

And keep your mobile "on & charged"!

I have a feeling this "Instant" feature will motivate the candidates to complete their profiles.

Can we introduce, at this stage?

Rahul -> Shalaka -> Punam -> Alex

Apple for Apple

Weights and heights are good examples of frequency distributions which "tend" to become bell-shaped (normal distribution) curves.

But try plotting these curves for:

a family of 10 persons
1000 people staying in same building
entire population of the world.

You will find that from an extremely SKEWED curve (for family), you move to an extremely CENTRALIZED (bell-shape) curve, as you plot world's population.

So, the first thing about these curves is SAMPLE SIZE or POPULATION.

In the enclosed graphs, our "Co-Professionals" populations (which we have plotted) are "relatively" small. If these were one million in each case, we would have got a much smoother / more centralized / less skewed curves.

Then again, 1000 people staying in same building surely that curve looks better than the curve for 10 family members.

Scan_0045.jpg

Now you can make it look even better if you plot a curve for height or weight of only those people (amongst those 1000) who are

of same "age" (say 10 years)

It will further improve if you plot

only "Girls" of 10 years of age.

So, besides sample-size (population), the smoothness/centralization of a curve has a lot to do with "Similarities amongst the members of the population" i.e. "Apple-for-Apple" comparison.

Unfortunately, our "populations" contain lots of "Dis-similar" persons!

eg: "Banking | Insurance" professionals.

your population was 100,000 people and
you plotted a "sub-population" of

Same AGE
" Experience (yrs)
" DEGREE
" Sub-sector (Pvt vs Public)
" Region etc.

Scan_0046.jpg

Then you are bound to get a much smoother/centralized distribution where "extremes" of Raw-Scores have very low probability of occurrence.

Take 2 box-full of Coloured balls:

A	B
100,000 balls	10,000 balls
3 diff. colours	20 diff. colours
Sample of 1000	Sample of 100
↓	↓
will give you a very homogeneous distribution	will give you a very skewed distribution

Given this (theoretical) background, it will take a very long time for our graphs to become NORMAL/BELL-shaped, when populations of each type of "co-professionals" reach 100,000 or more.

Till then the graphs will look terrible—at least to people who do not have much exposure to statistics. It may even lead to disbelief / skepticism / rejection of the very concept!

We cannot afford this.

Scan_0047.jpg

Maybe "cumu. percentage Vs. Raw Score" chart drawn by you in enclosed page is our answer.

It is simple to understand (intuitive), which makes it ELEGANT.

NO "Mean"

NO "Standard Deviation ($\sigma$)"

NO Skew (to confuse).

Just one vertical and one horizontal drop are sufficient to tell the candidate:

What is my score? (Raw Score)
Where do I stand amongst my co-pros? (Percentile Score)
How many co-profs? (Population).

This graph is not "cluttered-up" with several lines or tabulations showing population between $\pm 1\sigma$ & $-1\sigma$ (which, in any case, a candidate does not understand!).

I believe, because of the concept of "Cumu. Percentage of Co-Professionals" VS "Raw Score",

Scan_0048.jpg

the graphs (for any functional skill / any population-size / any combination of age/exp/education level/region etc) will always come out as shown by you.

It will always (or almost always) be a smooth, upward curve without "kinks"—especially, if your RAW-SCORE DATA TABLE increases raw-scores by 1, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ........ 100.

I suppose Microsoft Chart will automatically adjust the x axis and automatically restrict it when "Percentile score" figure hits 100. Y axis will always remain as shown by you.

Suggest you / Shalaka quickly experiment with 10/15 other FUNCTION-SKILL populations to assure us that this concept will always work, and that we are able to programmatically generate/drop the horizontal/vertical lines as shown in enclosed sample graph.

You may want to adopt this concept also for "SALARY GRAPH" (makes sense). What about TENURE GRAPH?

I believe, this SIMPLIFICATION (and avoidance of statistical jargon) will attract the candidates.

Apple for Apple (cont) - TENURE GRAPH

As compared to our current frequency distribution graph, I think following graph may make more sense—at least to the recruiter.

Y-axis: Cumu. % of all professionals (0 to 100%)
X-axis: Average Career Tenure (years) (0, 3.5, 5, 10)
Annotation: A box at 3.5 years showing $[ \frac{14 \text{ yrs}}{4 \text{ jobs}} ]$

Every candidate's Ave. Career Tenure to be calculated by taking his "total Exp (yrs)" and dividing by "Total No. of Jobs held" (including current job).

$$ACT = \frac{T_1 + T_2 + T_3 + \dots T_n}{\text{Total No. of Jobs held during entire career}} = \frac{3+2+1+8}{4} = \left[ \frac{14}{4} \right] = 3.5$$

or $= \frac{1}{1} \text{ (First Job)} = \left[ \frac{1}{1} \right] = 1$

or $= \frac{2+10}{2} = \left[ \frac{12}{2} \right] = 6$

or $= \frac{1 + 1.5 + 0.5 + 1}{4} = \left[ \frac{4}{4} \right] = 1$

These figs (in bracket) tell the recruiter whether candidate is steady or job-jumper!

FAQ / RECRUITERS — R/1

▷ Why should I insist that candidates must send me only their "customized Resumes"? How will this help me?

▷ Here are a few reasons (— no doubt, you will discover many more, once you refuse to look at the plain text resumes):

Customized Resumes vastly increase your productivity and simplify your life.
Graphical presentation of customized resumes make it very easy to interpret / grasp the "analytics" of a candidate, within minutes.
You discover (in matter of seconds), the "Relative standing / Ranking" of the candidates, amongst their co-professionals. This enables you to decide whether the candidate is worth calling for an interview — or not.
You immediately discover discrepancies, if any, thru graphical representations — something which you may never notice in a plain text resume!
Graphs answer following questions:

Will he stick around for a while?
Is he a high-flyer?
Can we afford his salary-expectations?

Scan_0082.jpg

R/1

Is he faking / fudging any data?
Customized Resumes improve the quantity and quality of your "hiring decisions" by providing you with an "independent / unbiased / objective" benchmark.
Our "Rating / Ranking" algorithm is free from human intervention / subjectivity. When you invest in a "financial instrument", you depend upon the "Rating" provided by various "Rating Agencies". Our Customized Resume provides such a "rating" in respect of "human instruments"!

Scan_0083.jpg

R/2

▷ Would a "Customized Resume" be a better choice (as compared to a Plain Text resume) to refer to, during interviewing? If yes, why?

▷ It will be — without doubt. For the following reasons:—

A lot of interview time is simply lost trying to "uncover / ferret-out" factual data, missing in a plain text resume. In a customized resume, nearly all of relevant / pertinent data is already captured and presented to you graphically. This "frees-up" valuable interview time for uncovering "attitudes / attributes" of a candidate.
A Customized Resume is like "outsourcing" facts / data gathering!
The very graphical presentation of a Customized resume, prompts you to ask many questions that might never occur to you, looking at a plain text resume! A glance at the graph and you start wondering — "What could this discrepancy / gap be, due to?"

Scan_0084.jpg

R/2

In Customized Resume, the relevant keywords get highlighted in red. Then, when you click on any, Wikipedia definition pops-up! Now you are enabled to question the candidate in depth about the particular "skill"!
Of course, for this, you would need to "view" the concerned candidate's Customized Resume online on this website. You can do this by simply entering his PEN (Permanent Executive Number) on our "Resume Search" page.
On this website, as more & more resumes get added everyday, a candidate's Percentile-Score is changing continuously / dynamically. So when you "view" a Customized Resume of any candidate ONLINE, you get to see his "Relative standing / Ranking" (amongst his co-professionals), at that very moment in time! This is because all graphs in a Customized Resume get generated "on-the-fly"!

Scan_0085.jpg

R/3

▷ Do you have any special / unique features in your "Resume Search"?

▷ We have. These are:

Resume Search Result (Display Table) lists suitable candidates in the descending order of their Percentile Score. This means, the "best" candidates get listed at the top. With this feature, you need not worry about "missing-out" on the best candidate because his resume, somehow, got listed on 23rd page! You need to "open / view" only a few at the top, thereby saving a lot of your time (— your irreplaceable resource!)
Even before starting the search, you can select the "Currency" in

Scan_0086.jpg

R/3

which you wish to "view" the salary graphs of all the candidates [you can choose from:— Indian Rupees / US Dollar / Euro / British Pound]. This enables you to make an "Apple-for-Apple" comparison amongst the short-listed candidates, irrespective of their "Country" and the "Currency" in which they are getting paid. This feature is especially useful for American / European Recruiters, trying to hire IT-professionals from India.

▷ Do you have any special / unique features in your "Post Job" form?

▷ We have. These are:

The moment you select "Function / skill", you are presented with a set of relevant keywords (in a separate list box). From this, you can select [✔] and [Submit] those keywords which you consider "relevant" to the job / position being advertised.
After typing-in "Designation", you can click on link, "Fetch online Job Description". This will present to you several, relevant job-descriptions. From these, you can copy/paste relevant portions into the "advertisement" and edit / compose a desired "Job Description" for position being advertised.

Scan_0088.jpg

If you have ever advertised for same / similar position earlier, you can quickly / easily "access" such an old advertisement online. Then click [Select / Refill] button and your new advt form gets filled-up! All you need to do is [EDIT] it and [Submit]. This saves you a lot of time.

14-09-09 — J/1

▷ Why should I customize my resume?

▷ It is simple. Your plain text resume is like million others, clogging the mailboxes of recruiters. It has, nearly ZERO chance of getting noticed! To be noticed, your resume has to "stand-out" amongst the crowd. It has to be graphical (— as opposed to plain text) and it must be visually compelling. Can you think of any "Marketing Brochure" without vivid / colourful / graphical images? Remember, you are marketing yourself thru your resume. Sadly, your plain text resume just cannot market you! There is no way, it can project your UNIQUENESS. This is why, you must customize your resume. It, then becomes your Image Builder. If your plain text resume does not get noticed, you have only yourself to blame!

Scan_0091.jpg

Q: How many "versions" of my resume can I create through customization?

A: When you "Submit Resume", some 6/8 graphs get generated, automatically and instantly. Together with your text resume, this constitutes your MASTER/DEFAULT profile, with all these graphs arranged in a "pre-determined" sequence.

You can create your "Customized Profile" by rearranging these graphs. This way, you can literally create hundreds of UNIQUE combinations.

But you can SAVE/STORE, a maximum of 3 unique combinations (versions) in our database, at any given time.

Scan_0092.jpg

Q: Can I delete some old "versions" and create new "versions"?

A: Of course, you can. Creating/saving/storing a new version will require deleting one of the older versions, so as not to exceed the maximum limit of 3 versions at any given time.

Scan_0093.jpg

Q: Can I use different versions of my customized resume for Apply Online and Resume Blast?

A: Most certainly!

On both these pages (i.e. "Apply Online / Job search" page and "Resume Blast" page), you will find checkboxes for all the 3 versions which you have SAVED/STORED earlier.

All you need to do is to select the version which you wish to send.

If you do not select any of the 3 "customized" versions, then, by default, your MASTER profile will be despatched.

Scan_0094.jpg

Q: How do different versions differ from each other?

A: The only difference is the SEQUENCE/ORDER in which the graphs get arranged when you customize.

Now it is not mandatory that any given version must contain ALL the graphs. From each version, you may decide to "leave-out/drop-out" any one (or more) graphs, altogether. So, besides the SEQUENCE, this (no. of graphs) is another important "difference" between the versions.

You decide what you want to present/project to the recruiters.

Scan_0095.jpg

Q: Whenever I edit my resume, will the different versions change accordingly and automatically? Will I get to see/view these altered versions immediately?

A: If "editing" results in changing/altering any "factual data" used for generating the graphs, then of course, the corresponding graphs will get "redrawn", automatically/immediately, in the respective "saved" versions.

You will get to see the altered versions when you click the EDIT button.

Scan_0096.jpg

Q: When a recruiter shortlists my resume, after conducting a "Resume Search", which customized version of my resume will he get to see?

A: It is for you to decide.

As soon as you have SAVED/STORED 3 customized versions of your resume (on "Customize Resume" page), you will be presented with the following options:

During Resume Search, show following resume version:

Version	Name	To be shown to Recruiter
Master / Default	MASTER	O
1 - Custom	XYZ	O
2 - "	ABC	O
3 - "	LMJ	O

Whatever you select will be shown to the recruiters.

Q: What do I have to pay for customization of my resume?

A: You pay nothing!

All of our services to jobseekers are absolutely FREE.

Scan_0098.jpg

Q: Can I download my different customized versions and then email these to recruiters?

A: Of course, you can. But do remember, that any "downloaded" version is a STATIC representation, as on the date of downloading. It will show your "Relative standing / Percentile Score", amongst your co-professionals as on the date of downloading.

On the other hand, your "Relative standing / Percentile Score" is changing continuously as more and more jobseekers submit their resumes on a daily basis. So, the version that you download today and the version that you may download after 3 months, may vastly differ!

Scan_0099.jpg

Q: Can I copy/paste my customized versions on other job portals, so that my customized resume becomes searchable/visible to many more recruiters?

A: That is precisely what I would do if I were you!

By doing so, you will vastly increase your chance of getting an interview call.

When recruiters conduct resume searches on job portals [claiming to be #1 / #2 / #3], they are presented with PLAIN TEXT resumes by thousands. Amongst these, your CUSTOMIZED RESUME will stand out, being dramatically different. "Submit Resume" forms on all job portals provide for space to copy/paste your text resume. Paste your "customized" resume there.

Scan_0100.jpg

Q: Can I upload/post my customized resume on different social networking sites?

A: I encourage you to do so—pronto!

No doubt, you are aware that recruiters/headhunters are trawling "social networking sites" even more than conducting resume searches on job portals. Social networking sites are the best places to "market" yourself with dignity. And your "customized resume" is the ideal document to fulfill this objective.

Scan_0101.jpg

Q: I have already created MY PROFILE on several social networking sites. Can I add these URLs/hyperlinks to my customized resume? If yes, how?

A: To be able to do this, you will need to wait for some time. Before long, we plan to make a provision in our "Submit Resume" form, where you can add such URLs/hyperlinks. Once this is done, recruiters will be able to compile your comprehensive ONLINE presence, without having to type your name in Google’s search bar.

Scan_0102.jpg

Q: I want to send my customized resume to American Companies (using "Resume Blast" feature). Will these American Recruiters see my "salary graph" in Rupees or in dollars?

A: On "Resume Blast" page, you will find following:

Resume Version To be blasted		Select one	Salary Graph to be shown in which currency
Version	Name		Indian Rupees	( )
Master	Master	( )	Euro	( )
1	XYZ	( )	US Dollar	( )
2	ABC	( )	British Pound	( )
3	LMJ	( )

For "Salary Graph", the default currency is Indian Rupees. Depending upon to whom (which country) you want to blast your resume, you can select the appropriate currency.

Scan_0103.jpg

Q: Can your registered jobseekers or your casual visitors get to see my customized resume?

A: NO! There is no way they can see your resume. Only registered Employers/Recruiters can see your resume once they have logged in. Of course, it is a different matter when you use:

Apply online
Resume Blast.

Scan_0104.jpg

~~Q: How do you manage to automatically and instantly fill up my "Contact Data" block in your submit resume form? Why are some "data" incomplete/wrong/missing?~~ (Note: This question is crossed out in the original)

Q: During Customization, can I delete all graphs and just retain my plain text resume?

A: You can—if you want your resume to "get lost forever" in the dark bottomless pit that is a recruiter's mailbox! Such a "plain text resume" has no better than a "1 in Million" chance of getting "discovered"!

Scan_0105.jpg

Q: I received an email from you, saying you have already uploaded my text resume in your online database, even though I never filled-up your "Submit Resume" form! How is this possible? What do I do next? ~~Can I delet it?~~

A: Over the last 20 years, we have received thousands of text resumes from a number of sources. Yours could be one of those, which we uploaded. If you have received (or receive) such an Invitation Email from us, please do visit our website and complete "Submit Resume" form. ~~Of course, if you do~~

Scan_0106.jpg

Q: What are "Raw Score" and "Percentile Score" that I find in the "Function/Skill" profile graphs? How are these calculated? If I get a very poor (low) raw score or percentile score, can I delet that graph?

A: "Raw Score" is calculated based on the 'keywords' found in your resume—and the "Weightages" of those keywords. "Percentile Score" takes into account the "Raw Scores" obtained by resumes of all of your registered co-professionals and where your resume "stands" amongst those. It shows your relative standing/position amongst your co-professionals.

In case our software assigns a LOW raw score to one of your FUNCTION/SKILL graph, you can certainly delet such a graph while customizing your resume. Of course, you do not want to project a poor image to recruiters!! Maybe you could try out (i.e. select) a few other "FUNCTIONS/SKILLS" (in your submit Resume Form) and generate those graphs, till you find one which shows HIGH percentile score.

Scan_0107.jpg

Q: Sometimes, I find "Education Graph" and "Career Graph" in descending order, instead of ascending order! Why does this happen? How to correct it?

A: The data to be submitted by you in the

"Educational Qualification" block, and
"Experience" block,

must be in the chronological order in the Education Block (i.e. 10th std first, then 12th std., then graduation/degree) and in the "Reverse Chronological" order, as far as the Experience Block (i.e. latest/current job on the top/first and going backwards till the first job).

If the data is filled-in correctly as explained, the graphs would appear in the ascending order. If there are doubts, feel free to phone us on 91-22-670,70,377 or send an email at Contact@CustomizeRecruitguru.com

Scan_0108.jpg

Q: Can I delet my resume? If yes, how can I do that?

A: As of now, we have no provision for this. However, in course of time, we will make a provision (in "EDIT RESUME"), whereby you can render your resume "Invisible/Unsearchable" for whatever period you wish.

Scan_0109.jpg

Q: How often should I edit my resume?

A: At the least, you should come back and edit your resume anytime there is a "change" in one of the following:

Job-change (New Employer)
Designation-change
Salary-change
Function-change
Acquiring of additional Edu. Qualification
Acquiring of additional "skills" (so as to rewrite your text resume to reflect those "New-skill" related keywords).
City/Location or any other CONTACT DATA change (especially Phone No / Email ID).
Completion of New/Current Projects (especially for IT Professionals)

Scan_0110.jpg

Q: In my "Submit Resume", can I add/attach my

Photo
Video
Recommendation Letters
Professional Publications/Articles
Edu-Qualification Certificates etc etc?

If yes, will these become an integral part of my MASTER/DEFAULT profile?

A: For the moment, you can only attach/upload your photo in "Submit Resume". But the provision for the others will follow in a few months.

Scan_0111.jpg (J/22)

Q: Will I be able to "colour" my customized Resumes (3 versions) in different colours?

A: Yes. In the "Customize Resume" page, there is a colour pallet from which, you can select any colour of your choice and click "Apply".

Scan_0112.jpg (J/23)

Q: Everyday, hundreds of job-advts are getting added to your online database. Many of these may be "perfect match" to my own Edu. Quali. / Experience / Functional Background / skills / salary etc., but I don't have time to visit and conduct a "Job-Search" daily. Can you keep track of these and forward my resume to these advertisers, automatically and everyday?

A: Sure, we will happily do that. All you have to do is to check $\square$ at the bottom of your "Submit Resume" form:

$\square$ Send my MASTER resume against matching job-advts.
Please send my resume daily to those job-advts which match my following Job Preferences:

Functional Background $\square$

Exp. $\square$

[Submit Button]

Scan_0113.jpg (J/24)

Q: I found that, after submission, only some keywords got highlighted in my text resume but many others got left out. Why is this so?

A: During "Submit Resume" process, you selected 3 functions/skills, as your:

Primary Function/skill (you are an Expert)
Secondary " " (you are Very Good)
Tertiary " " (you are Good)

Each of these have its own SET of relevant keywords in our database. Our software picks up and highlights only those keywords which are "relevant" to your "Primary Function/skill".

Scan_0114.jpg (J/25)

Q: Is my MASTER/DEFAULT RESUME frozen once-and-for-all or can I modify that?

A: Whenever you EDIT your resume, the MASTER/DEFAULT version gets modified immediately and automatically.

You may, especially want to "modify" the MASTER, if you find that one of your "Function/skill graph" shows a low/poor percentile. Obviously, you would not want recruiters to see such a graph!

So what do you do?

In the "submit Resume" form, you had selected PRIMARY / SECONDARY / TERTIARY functions/skills. Simply edit these to select some other where you have a deep subject/domain knowledge. Of course, in such a case, your text resume MUST contain keywords related to the newly selected function/skill.

Scan_0115.jpg (J/26)

Q: In your "Submit Resume" form, you display:

41 Functions (for Non-IT Professionals)
81 Skills (for IT Professionals)

I would like to see my Raw score / Percentile score in ALL of these (to know where I stand with respect to professionals belonging to these). How can I see this?

A: If you have the patience, you can go on selecting these "functions" (or skills) from the droplist in "submit Resume" form (PRIMARY / SECONDARY / TERTIARY), one-by-one, and generate graphical profiles pertaining to each!

Scan_0116.jpg (J/27)

Q: Your "Submit Resume" Form consists of several "stages". Do I have to fill-in all the stages at one go?

A: NO. The idea behind breaking-up the "Submit Resume" Form into several stages is that you can fill-up these stages incrementally over a period of days/weeks, if you are pressed for time. Obviously, you need to fill-up STAGE A, in order to:

Get your User ID / Password / PEN (Permanent Executive Number) to enable you to login during your subsequent visits.
Generate your MASTER / DEFAULT version of Customized Resume.
Go to the "Customize Resume" page and create different "Versions" of your resume.

Completion of each additional STAGE will generate additional graphical profiles. The greater the number of graphical profiles, the greater will be the permutations/combinations possible.

General notes on "Submit Resume" design of FORMS & DATABASES

Should we consider expanding list of "Designation-Levels"? How many/which levels do Monster/Naukri/Timesjobs have?
Salary field should have droplists as:

[Table: Joining Salary Per Month]

Rs. Lakhs (00,000): 1, 2, 3... 25
Rs. Thousands (000): 1, 2, 3... 99

[Table: Salary at time of leaving]

A candidate may want to generate ALL profiles (under ALL modules offered), but he may not want Corporates to see ALL profiles. So, while "customizing", he should be able to leave-out one/more profiles. It will always be the CUSTOMIZED PROFILE which gets picked-up & sent during:

Apply Online
Resume Blast

Scan_0119.jpg (G/2)

A customized profile-set itself should be editable. The moment it is edited, the older/previous customized profile-set gets deleted. So, at any given time, there will be only ONE "customized" set.
If a candidate chooses NOT to "customize", then, by default, his MASTER DEFAULT PROFILE-SET will be sent upon "Apply Online" / "Resume Blast".
MASTER DEFAULT PROFILE SET cannot be deleted, but individual profiles within the set can be edited by editing INPUT-DATA for that module.
Edu. Quali. Block > [Pass Year $\nabla$] -> Should this be made into a droplist?
When you are comparing "Designation Levels" with Monster/Naukri/Timesjobs, pl. do compare their "Education Levels" as well:

SSC or Equivalent
HSC or " "
Diploma Course

Some interesting features of Naukri (Submit Resume):

Some interesting features of Monster (Submit Resume):

Also has a droplist for Institute [ $\nabla$ ]. If you cannot find the Institute, type it in the box: [________]

Monster / Submit Resume - What does it mean?

"Upload resume and get the form pre-filled by us. All you need to do is to verify and confirm your registration."

Is this parsing like GuruMine? A crazy thought?

JobStreet Privacy Setting (in Submit Resume)

Resume Privacy Settings (Dropdown menu):

Notes:

It may be worth it to compile a comprehensive list of "Qualifications" (Edu.) & "Field of Study" from several leading job-portals. Of course, our EDU-DATABASE should be expandable.
If we succeed in highlighting (red) keywords in TEXT RESUME, and make the same clickable, then we may consider to drop KARMASCOPE from the profiles.
Now that we are breaking-up our "submit Resume" form into several small, incremental modules (each, by itself taking little time to fill), then we could consider making ALL fields within each module, MANDATORY.

Scan_0122.jpg

Now that each sub-profile gets generated module-wise, where should we insert: "Profiles: The new Currency of Recruitment. Issued by www.GlobalRecruiter.net"?
It would be an OVERKILL to insert this slogan in each & every sub-profile. Maybe, we should show it only once (but cannot be deleted) in MY PERSONAL DETAILS block.
Incidentally, in quite a few cases, I have seen quite a few "details" missing from this block!! This is very embarrassing & looks very "unprofessional"!
We need to RE-DESIGN this block and ensure that ALL fields are MANDATORY.
Have we come across Resumes where email IDs are wrong/fictitious?
In Salary Profile, suggest we delete from details block:

More salaried people
Less salaried people
Equal salaried people
But keep $\rightarrow$ [Total Population]

Scan_0123.jpg

Similarly in TENURE profile, too, we should remove:

People with more tenure
People with less tenure
People with equal tenure
Just keep "Total Population" somewhere.

CAREER PROFILE details block redesign:

Score Card as on ______
Current Age: 47
Age at which first job started: 27
Total years of Exp-indicated: 20
First Degree/Diploma at age of: ____
Second Degree/Diploma at age of: ____
Years elapsed since first Degree: ___

Note: As far as MY EXPERIENCE block and MY EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION block are concerned, maybe we should consider DETACHING these from their respective profiles, but make these integral with MY PERSONAL DETAIL block.

Modular "Submit Resume" Form

Enclosed find a series of UI as conceived by me. This is to only give you a framework of the Modular concept.

Flow sequence (Sequence must be followed / No jumping)
Auto-fill concept (as each subsequent INPUT-FORM appears on screen)
"Save/attach" concept
Show SAMPLE-PROFILE concept

You have already considered showing a PROGRESS BAR which will show "% age completion." I have left out PROJECT EXPOSURE module - which you can add (for IT Professionals).

Maybe we do not need a separate link for "Edit Resume." It could be combined as one link: SUBMIT RESUME / EDIT RESUME.

Customize Your Profile Module:

Let us discuss: Photo Module, Video Module.

The moment INPUT DATA is "edited" in any module, the corresponding graphical profile will get shown automatically. Only if this graph is SAVED, will the changed DATA get SAVED.
At all times, the GRAPH and the data must correspond/match 100%.
Once any INPUT DATA is edited in any module, the SAME DATA will get AUTO-FILLED (if required) in all subsequent modules. Such data cannot be edited in such modules. If attempted, a message will ask the candidate:

"This data cannot be edited in this module. Please go to the source MODULE NO [ ] and first edit data there."

Scan_0126.jpg

Dear Executive,

You can submit your resume in stages over a period of time. We have divided this form into several independent modules. To begin with, you need to fill-in only the MAIN MODULE. Then re-visit, log-in and fill-in the other modules, as and when you feel like. Of course, you are welcome to fill-in all the modules in "one go"! This is more likely to happen when you see your GRAPHICAL PROFILE emerge in front of your eyes, within a few seconds of filling-in each module.

On each module, first click on link "Sample Profile." This is how your own graphical profile should look, if you fill-in the INPUT DATA correctly/accurately/chronologically. If it does not, edit INPUT-DATA and "submit" once again, till the graph makes sense.

As soon as MAIN MODULE is filled-in and submitted, you can start:

Searching Jobs and Applying Online

Dear Executive,

Based on the keywords contained in your resume, their weightages and their context, our software has developed your following FUNCTION/SKILL profile. Your Raw Score (My standing) on X axis is developed from the keywords and your Percentile Score is computed taking into account the population of "co-professionals" in our database. As and when you acquire additional skills/knowledge/expertise, come back and post a new text resume containing those new keywords.

Dear Executive,

While filling-in data in the form below, please note the following:

Usually, next would be 12th standard = Junior College graduation (HSC), but not necessarily. You could have done a DIPLOMA course after 10th standard, in which case, that could be next.
MBA = PGDBM = Post Graduate Diploma
Typical "Professional Qualifications" are CA/CS/CFA/IAS/ICS/ICSE/IATA/ICWA/etc., which are normally awarded by Professional Bodies.
Bachelor Level Qualifications start with a 'B'.
Master Level Qualifications start with an 'M'.

How has your career progressed over a period of time? Have you progressed (in hierarchy) steadily or have there been periods of long-drawn "stagnation"? I don't mean "Tenure/length of service" within a given organisation. Even within a given organisation, you could get promoted every few years to rise in hierarchy.

Dear Executive,

As an IT professional, you have no doubt worked on several projects for different clients and in different capacities/roles. For each project you might have used different "skills." Projects themselves might have run for varying time-periods. Obviously, this is the most important section of your resume. It also tends to be most verbose, extending over several paragraphs.

MODULE 9 | CUSTOMISE PROFILE | for IT Professionals

Dear Executive,

No more profiles to be constructed here! You have created enough! Here is where you can CUSTOMIZE these profiles into a CUSTOMIZED PROFILE SET, which you want Corporate Recruiters to see, when you:

APPLY ONLINE
BLAST YOUR RESUME

You may have your own good reasons why you do not want a recruiter to see one (or more) of your profiles. Here is an easy way to leave-out whichever you wish.

Please note:

At all times, MASTER DEFAULT PROFILE SET remains intact/unchanged.
Individual sub-profiles within the MASTER can be changed/modified by editing the INPUT DATA in the corresponding MODULE (e.g., Edu-Quali / salary / Designation / Employer Name etc., which do keep changing over time).
At any given point of time, only ONE "customized Profile Set" can exist. You can create a new/fresh "customized set" by deleting/clearing the existing set.
Whenever you "Apply Online" or "Blast Your Resume", your latest/existing "Customized Profile Set" will get emailed to concerned corporate recruiters.
If you have not created any "Customized Profile Set", then your MASTER DEFAULT PROFILE SET will get emailed to Corporate Recruiters.
Your "Customized Profile Set" will always contain your "Personal Information" block and your "Text Resume" right at the top. This will also include your PRIMARY/MAIN FUNCTION/SKILL GRAPH (PROFILE). You can leave out all other graphical profiles if you so desire.
