Times Jobs declared they are the No. 1 Jobsite.. well at least according to their calculations.

Gautam has posted full email (which I mentioned partially in my post - Recruiters; are you paying for junk resumes?). Interesting part is no one can proof that these resumes are being collected by TimesJobs. Why? -

1. The email address used to sent this email, is from indiatimes.com email service.
2. Your email & resume is submitted to test_action.php which is not hosted on timesjobs.com
3. Thanks page shows Times Jobs site inside a iframe

During this whole submission you never touched down on timesjobs domain.

But this resumes submission cycle is tracked by Urchin, Komli, ozonemedia, tribalfusion, which gives a clue that it’s a well executed campaign by some big player.

No one knows who received your email and multiple resumes you submitted on this url http://times.tribalddb.co.in/landing.php?Ref_Site=jc_281×51_hp_w

So be aware of such requests to submit your resume or personal details, and make sure who is receiving your personal details.

After a very long duration I am kind of forced to start blogging again by this email from very famous Indian Job site, it goes like this(with spelling errors) -

If you have already submitted your resume , please do it again with your latest updates,valid contact number and new fresh working email ID. If your resume is applicable for muliple posts,please submit your biodata with sepearte email Ids and with respective resume headings or titles.

For example :
Say, if your resume is applicable for sales,marketing and business development- all three categories or posts, then please upload the same biodata with sepaerate biodata name and with seperate email ids for three times.

Please upload your resume now. Your username and password will be mailed to you for future references.

Wow! what a cool way to increase number of resumes available with the jobsite. A more interesting part is, this company is tracking how many resumes are collected by this viral e-marketing.

HR Agencies, Companies all pay to access these junk resumes without ever knowing how they are collected.

Slowly and gradually India is also joining open source. Kerala the 100% literate state in India . If we will follow the statistics by the year 2011 everyone of us will be some using open source software on your mobile, desktop, or TV sets.

“We have decided that we will use only free software for computer education in Kerala schools. We have implemented the Linux platform in high schools; it will be implemented in other schools step by step,” Kerala Education Minister M A Baby. We want to make Kerala the FOSS (Free and Open Software Systems) destination in India. That is all

By throwing out Microsoft from high school desktops, Kerala is following the footsteps of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Goa, West Bengal, and Delhi, who are also in the thick of bringing Linux to schools.

In MP, nearly 2,600 primary schools are given computers with a Hindi language interface on Linux platforms. Rajasthan is already pushing it in 4,000 schools.

By 2008, 56,000 schoolteachers in the Kerala will be trained in Linux and students in the 2,650 government and government-aided high schools will be taught the open-source code software,” said Shankaran Nair, director of IT@school, responsible for promoting IT education in schools.

It’s important to mention that free software guru Richard Stallman is virtually the consultant to the Kerala government’s IT initiatives.

When you are switching to open source?
