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,

GENERAL NOTES ON " SUBMIT RESUME "

Design of FORMS & DATABASES

Rahul, Alex, Shalaka, Poonam, Shubhangi

Should we consider expanding list of "Designation - Levels" ?   How many/ which levels, do Monster/  Naukri/ times jobs have ?

 A candidate may want to generate ALL profiles (under ALL modules offered), corporate to he may not want 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 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 choosen 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

 When you are comparing "Designation Levels" with Monster/ Naukri/ Times Jobs, pl. do compare their  Educational Level as well.

 Jobstreet Privacy Setting (In Submit Resume)

 Resume Privacy Setting

 It may be worth 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" from into several, small, incremental modules (each, by itself  taking little time to fill), then we could consider making ALL fields within each module, MANDATORY.

 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 OVERALL, to insert this slogan in each & every sub - profile. may be, 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 Resume's where email ID's are wrong/ fictitions ?

 In salary profile, suggest, we delet from details block
More salaried People
Less Salaried People
Equal Salaried People

But keep - Total Population

 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

 As far as CAREER PROFILE, details block is concerned, I suggest, we redesign it as shown below.
 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 ........

Years elapsed since second Degree .....


 As far as MY EXPERIENCE block any MY EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION block are concerned, may be we should  consider DETACHING these from their respective Profiles, but make these integral with MY PERSONAL DETAIL block.
