Prototype: Future of Job Hunt


Article written by Sreenivas Mothukuru

It was 10 O’clock in the night, I had dinner and was about to say ‘good night’ to family members, but, somehow discussion started between me & my brother about online shopping sites, importance of work experience, approach towards the job hunt, etc. Although discussion went long till mid night the conversation helped me to think about a prototype.

Now a days, we see numerous shopping sites (Flipkart, Ebay, Amazon, Deals2buy, Bestbuy, Snapdeal, Junglee, etc. the list goes on) where individuals can search and buy items of their choice. We are enjoying the luxury of shopping online. Thanks to the technology advancement and brilliant brains behind these.

Similarly, we have number of job sites like Dice, Glassdoor, Indeed, Careerbuilder, USAjobs, Monster, Naukri, Timesjobs, shine, jobsahead, etc. where job seekers can search for open positions and employers can search for suitable candidates based on keywords. With the current setup, job seekers are restricted with limited options/fields which results in employers getting vague information about the candidate.

To make job search and recruitment easy I came up with a prototype. With this new approach (prototype)  job seekers are allowed to post information of their choice and employers can find job seekers just like any other shopping sites. This helps employers to know better about the person whom they are short listing for interview procedure.

Please share your thoughts on this. Also, share this with your friends and colleagues if you find it interesting ;)

Happy Valentines Day :)

Thanks,

How QA Matrix Meet Dev Metric?

Article written by   Sreenivas Mothukuru Most recently our team has received a user story from Product Owner (PO) where in we are asked to compare the records in excel sheet with the data in MySQL database to look for the matching records. At first glance the requirement sounds pretty simple and for a few minutes I was in an impression that the task can be done quickly. Now the million dollar question is "When the requirement is so simple ... what made PO delegate the task to our team?" This question encouraged me to revisit and review the user story requirements in detail. Then I understood that we need to compare each record from Excel sheet (i.e., ~1200 records) with the data in MySQL table (i.e., ~ 190,00,000 records ) to look for the matching records. In brief, this task demands enormous comparisons to get desired result. One of the solutions is to pick each record one by one from Excel sheet and query MySQL database. This way most of the comparison wil

Is it an ATTITUDE or qualification that matters?

Article written by   Sreenivas Mothukuru A few days back I went to a roadside stall with my friends. We all had Pani Puri  and  Mirchi Bajji . Stuff was very delicious; we all appreciated the stall owner for maintaining good quality. During the conversation with the shop owner, I was surprised to know that the person who is preparing/serving Pani Puri and Mirchi Bajji is an Engineering graduate! In another incident, while I was on my way to airport (Dubai trip) my cab driver was curious about my company and my work. When I asked the reason for his curiousness he slowly said that he is an engineering graduate, working part time as a cab driver and searching for jobs. These incidents made me think about the education system, any value added by bachelor/master degrees, opportunities within corporate offices, competency level with the so called degrees at workplace, etc. Does a mere bachelor or masters degree add value to a person’s profile? Do the emerging Graduates really have the p
