Notes

Here is the complete typed text extracted from the handwritten image (first page of "General Specifications" for www.Customize-Resume.com):

"GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS"

for

www.Customize-Resume.com

PHASE 1 → Target Oct. 22, 2009

1. Standardized Page Template

We will generally follow the pattern of IndiaRecruiter, except:
There will be few main links on left side for both jobseekers & Corporates, including their "LOG-IN" boxes
We must keep rest of the links in SITE MAP. For this reason the SITE MAP link itself will need to be quite prominent, so as to attract the attention.

Bottom line should only carry:
▷ email ID
▷ Phone No
▷ Fax No
▷ Contact Us

Right hand vertical panel should be left blank for Google Adverts.

No logo, but (preferably) right-hand top corner (above Google Adverts) on all pages will carry:

pgsql
+----------------------------+
| No. of Online Users  =     |
|        Guests        =     |
|   Registered Users   =     |
+----------------------------+

Let me know when you're ready for me to convert Page 2 or proceed with formatting this content into Word or a design mockup.

Top-Panel will look like:

sql
 ---------------------------------------------------------------
| Customize-Resume                                              |

► We need to specify/freeze some corner on each page to display STATISTICS COUNTERS

relating to the ACTIVITIES being carried out on that specific page. E.g.:

Page	Statistics
✓ Submit Resume	▷ No. of Candidates registered (Daily / Cumulative)
▶ Post Jobs	▷ No. of Jobs posted
▶ Employer Registration	▷ No. of Employers registered
▶ Resume Blast	▷ No. of Resumes blasted
▶ Job Search	▷ Job Searches carried out ▷ No. of Apply Online
▶ Customization Page	▷ No. of Customizations carried out by ▶ Casual visitors ▶ Registered Candidates
(Trial page)
▶ Resume Search	▷ Searches carried out ▷ Resumes downloaded

Note:

May be same corner can be used to alternately flash “TAGLINES / SLOGANS” (I have given 100+ to Poonam)

Colour

We should switch over to some shade of light blue background.

May be TOP BAR can be dark blue (as in case of 3P website) with the site-name in hollow / white letters.

▶ Font Size / Style

We should "standardize" a separate size/style for:

Site Name
"Links" Names
Page Names (on top of each page)
Address format on each page; eg.
- Dear Visitor
- Dear Recruiter
- Dear Subscriber
- Dear Executive
General write-up texts on each page
Counters
▶ Paragraph titles/headings
▶ Taglines/slogans
▶ Click-buttons
▶ Table-columns Headings (Forms/Search Results)
▶ Field-Names (in various forms)
▶ Tab titles

Colours of Form-Tables/Search-Tables
I suppose these will need to be dark blue (instead of current dark brown) with white letters.
Colour of general text/write-ups
If the background of all pages is LIGHT BLUE, then what colour of text characters/alpha will contrast and stand out?
Black or White? Will need to be experimented.

▶ While parsing, some fields may fail to extract although others leaving field blank.

These should be highlighted in some manner so as to draw the attention of jobseeker to these fields in order to EDIT.

▶ Within the text resume, we should highlight (by different colour?) those “words/values” which were picked up by our parsing software & entered into "Contact Details" block.

This will go a long way to impress the candidates (– and recruiters) with the powerful logic of our parsing software.

We should not have the counter say:

“No. of Jobs Posted = [ ]”

Because 99% (or more) of the job-ads uploaded will be thru RSS feeds (or spiders to be developed in future) from various job portals. Therefore our counter will read:

less
+----------------------+
| NO. of Jobs : [   ]  |
| IT Jobs     : [   ]  |
| NON-IT Jobs : [   ]  |
+----------------------+

But in Admin Tool, “No. of Jobs Posted” will refer to only those jobs actually posted by our corporate subscribers.

Same logic will apply to:

pgsql
+---------------------------+
| NO. of Resumes     : [   ] |
| IT Resumes         : [   ] |
| NON-IT Resumes     : [   ] |
+---------------------------+
=> all parsed & uploaded resumes

► But, we must know how many candidates click on our promo email, visit their “PERSONAL PAGE / MY PAGE”,

edit “Contact Details” & then Submit.

So, we must have DAILY & CUMULATIVE counts of:

▶ Promo emails sent out: [ ]

Image 2 (Scan_0007.jpg)

► No. of positive responses: [ ]

► Ratio = (Cumm. Positive Responses) / (Cumm. promo emails sent) = [ ] %

This ratio alone will tell us whether our “Marketing” of website thru parsing & sending out promo email is working or not!

Unless at least 5% of candidates respond positively, we may have to think of other methods to promote our website.

► Recommendation System

I have already given 2 earlier notes on the subject which are exhaustive.

► Which “version” (out of 3 permitted) of “Customized” Resumes can a jobseeker use while

▶ Applying Online

▶ Resume Blasting

I have explained this to Shalaka, as follows:

→ Once, after creating a “Customized” version, candidate clicks SAVE,

a box will pop-up, asking candidate to

“NAME” this version. It can be saved only after NAMING.

When a Candidate LOGS-IN on

Job-search page
Resume-Blast page

Following box will pop-up:

pgsql
Which Customized Version
of your resume do you
want to send?  
(Version Name)
V1 / Sales      [  ]  
V2 / Mktg       [  ]  
V3 / Production [✔]  
Select any one before clicking APPLY ONLINE

It is too early to talk whether in future phases of “Customize Resume”, we will have:
Interactive Interview Tool
with an online database of Interview Questions
Most certainly, in PHASE I, we will not have IIT. But let us incorporate at least following:
When Employer opens a text resume (during Resume Search), keywords pertaining to ALL the 
5 functions/skills saved by the candidate get highlighted.
Then these can be clicked to bring-up "Definitions" from Wikipedia / Google Definitions.
PHASE 2 : Nov. 22, 2009
▶ Offline Resume Parser Tool freely downloadable from “Customize Resume”, with feature to 
upload into our online database 
all resumes parsed by all users.
PHASE 3 : Dec. 22, 2009
▶ Creating a WAP site (for 2G / 2.5G mobile networks) where candidate can log in and download 140-character (SMS style) 
Job Alerts, against which he can "Apply" by directly sending a PUSH SMS (giving Job-ID) to our server.
This WAP site (MY JOB ALERT PAGE) will be part of “Customize Resume” site and work very much like World-Wide-Jobs.com.
Except, in this case, candidate will have to "pre-select" (on MY JOB ALERT PAGE) the particular VERSION of his 
 
customized resume that he wants us to forward.
PHASE 4 : March 2010 ?
▶ Delivering “Job Alerts” on TV thru DTH
Both DishTV and TataSky have tied up with some job-portals to deliver job-adverts on “ACTIVE” channels.
If we have to overtake, we must deliver Job Alerts (not job-adverts) and tie-up with BIG TV (Reliance ADAG).
Candidate will only need to select:
▶ Service Provider ▶ DTH Company ▶ Our Website

Resume Blast

Currently, we are sending only ONE link to the company.
In the new website, we will send several links/buttons, 
each representing one part of the candidate’s customized profile, e.g.:

vbnet
| Title        |
| Text Resume  |
| Sales        |
| Mktg         |
| Production   |
| Career       |
| Salary       |
| Education    |
| Tenure       |
| etc          |

Clicking on any link will show to the HR Manager the corresponding graph.


▶ We will also embed into each graph the candidate’s Name / PEN / Graph Name, e.g.:

Jayant Patel / PEN 41326 / Function Profile

(Illustration of a graph box beneath this label)

USER INTERFACES & Search Results
Employer Registration – same as IndiaRecruiter
Submit Resume – separate folder given for all modules
Job Posting – same as in IndiaRecruiter
Job Search – as per “conventional job-search” of IndiaRecruiter
Resume Search – as per “conventional resume search” of IndiaRecruiter
(unless you think Gusearch of RecruitGuru.com is a superior solution)
Resume Blast – as per IndiaRecruiter
Subscriber List – " "
Rate Us Now – " "
Customize Trial (Homepage) – already given
Admin Tool – as per IndiaRecruiter
Site Map – " "
I think there is no need to have a separate page for SAMPLE PROFILES, since
“Customize Resume / Free Trial” page (which will be our homepage) will incorporate a:
SAMPLE RESUME (all 10 graphs)
of an IT professional, which anyone should be able to click and view in a separate pop-up window.
As far as “Page Write-Ups” are concerned, leave 2” of blank space at the top on each page.
I will give these as soon as I see (as a Visitor will see) the final UI.
Special Note on “Search-Results” display of Conventional Job Search
We are downloading job-adverts from c. 110 job portals (RSS feed + page stripping/spidering).
Currently (at any given time), we have over 2 lakh job-adverts.
In “Customize-Resume”, these will be thoroughly “cleaned-up” (‘Client-off’ X etc) and a proper database will be created.

This database will become “searchable” through conventional job-search parameters.
These parameters will include:
► Function
► Industry
► City
► Company Names, etc.
Each job-advert will carry a unique Job-ID, assigned by database.
Searching/display-results can be on any single search-parameter.
Search-result display will be as follows:
Srl. No Position/Design Company Name Posting City Min. Exp Required (yrs) Job-ID No. of Times Viewed View Download All (Tabulation)
View [✓]
View [✓]
We will need to add “Job-ID” as a “search-parameter” in the conventional job-search form.
After seeing in a newspaper, candidate would visit our website and send specific jobs by “Job-ID”.
Any visitor can download ENTIRE PAGE (Tabulation) by selecting “Download All” button.
As in case of World-Wide-Jobs, 
I want to promote this FREE DOWNLOAD (without login) of SUMMARY PAGE feature 
amongst newspapers, cybercafes, freelancers etc. for free distribution amongst their clients.
