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,

Here is the transcribed text from the handwritten note titled "LOW PRIORITY Applications for HR Managers / Recruiters" dated 25/09/08:


LOW PRIORITY applications for HR Managers / Recruiters
25/09/08

Notes

Some of the reasons for giving LOW priority to these applications are:

  • Some of these applications require LARGE no. of job-seekers or resumes on our site, in order to give satisfactory results. Right now we have barely 70 resumes and 150 job ads!

  • Some will require compiling enormous NEW databases (e.g., Corporate databases)

  • Some will require active involvement / participation of either jobseekers or HR mgrs
    (– in last 18 months, no ONE has used Poll-e-Tricks!!)

  • Some may need widespread acceptance / usage of NEW technologies
    (e.g., 3G mobile phones capable of
    ▸ email reading
    ▸ fast internet connection
    for “Resume Alert / Job Alert” on Mobiles)

  • Some may need MASHING with other websites
    or RSS feeds or SPIDERING or JOB SCRAPPING or GOOGLE DESKTOP or Google API or PARSING of resumes, etc. etc.
    (First we must master these technologies.)


Let me know if you’d like this integrated with the earlier list into a formatted document or infographic.


600,000 IQ?

Dear HR Manager,
IQ stands for Interview Questions.
We need 600,000 of these; at least 10 questions for each of the 60,000 keywords found in our resume database.
Keywords indicative of a candidate’s skills – knowledge – expertise etc.
10 questions per keyword would provide an interviewer sufficient choice/option.

But we could, so far, compile only 15,000 questions; far from enough.
That is why, quite often, we cannot present to you any question when you click on some keywords in KarmScope (IIT).

But that does not stop you from asking the candidate a dozen questions – all of which are extremely relevant to that keyword. These are questions stored in your mind’s database – only available to you.

How about sharing these with your co-professionals? Co-creating a “wealth of knowledge” for the benefit of all?
How about creating a Wikipedia of interview questions?

There is no reason why collective Intelligent Quotient (IQ) of 100,000 HR professionals cannot build a database of 600,000 IQ!


Page 2:

Here is a list of those "keywords with missing questions!"
Against any, can you contribute just 6 questions?

Of course, you are most welcome to contribute more than 6 questions on more than one keyword!

A question contributed by you will always take precedence and get displayed at TOP.
If you provide your personal details (strictly optional), your name will also appear next to the questions contributed by you.
