EXPLORE YOUR JOB AVENUE : If you are not pleased with the number and class of interview calls
you are getting, you should read on further. Jobs for india has exciting ways to connect you with the people who matter
– the recruiters and job providers. Here
are a few pointers on how to effectively use our services
Emails : E-mail boxes of Placement Firms tend to get full frequently. Don’t
assume that the e-mail address is
wrong - TRY AGAIN.
Mass emailing of your resume must be done with a focus.
Many Placement Consultants prefer
other methods of contact. Like, hard copies of resumes, personal
visits or a telephone call. Keep that in mind. In case you email your resume follow up with another mail or a
telephone call to
confirm that your resume has reached. It’s best to keep your job hunting private. If you are
sending your resume to more
than one Placement Firm, DO NOT USE CC.
Instead, use BCC (in your Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook). Remember, no Placement Firm likes to feel that they are dealing with a
mass circulated resume. Never ever change your email address, unless under extreme duress.
Placement Firms
get back to you whenever they have a vacancy, which may not
necessarily be when you want them to. Leave your lines of
communication intact.
Identifying a Placement Firm: Value judgments are highly avoidable. Judging the quality of a
Placement Firm by the age of a company
or the number telephones, emails and branch offices can be misleading.
After all, what counts is a good vacancy that suits your needs when
you need it. So, even if a Placement Firm is small, or new, or
unimpressive in any other way, it is quite possible they may have the
dream opening you are looking for. Be methodical in covering as many placement firms that cover your
specialization. Also
remember to comb through the ones that cover all categories and
industries. You may want to job only in Delhi or in Mumbai,
but that does not imply you talk to Placement Consultant only in that
city. It’s quite possible a Placement Firm in Mumbai is handling a
vacancy in Delhi, or a placement firm in Delhi is handling a vacancy
in Mumbai. You must contact Consultants on an all India
basis, to get your choice of job in a specific city or location.
Follow Up : Placement Firms usually handle a large volume of resumes. So, it is
quite natural that they may not remember
you till you are needed. Also, many are not computerized or even
organized. A follow up by telephone or email is advisable.
Job Portals : Websites tend be impersonal, unless they want to charge you for
something. The
trick is to keep going back regularly and hunting through the sections
that interest you.
