I came across an interesting mailer from naukri.com in my inbox and it brings back memories of yesteryears examination results.

 March-April has always been the most tense months throughtout life. Since my earliest memories these months will mean loads of tension and sleepless nights. All the hard work & efforts are put on test and then begins the wait for the results….

This agonising wait keep haunting year after year during these months. Earlier it was examination results and now its the annual appraisals. But the most talked about thing remains the same ”Percentage”. How much did you get this year. From parents to friends to everyone you on this earth is interested to know how much did you get.

But then this also keep you gunning for more year after year but for now I am waiting for the results for this year . Wish me luck to come out with flying colors again.

Mediums are changing and so do the people. Snail mails to email and still evolving. The way employees and employers are connecting to each other has seen a marked change over period. Both are trying to woo each other with innovative means. Resumes on CD have now moved to online space in form of Videos and presentations. Sites like Youtube has impressive number of such video resumes. Organizations have created separate dedicated career sections on their websites.

There are jobsites like Monster,  Naukri etc which has brought a radical change in the way job market works. Job market has become open and transparent for employees and employers. Job seekers have access to jobs across the globe and similarly organizations have large pool of prospective employees to choose from.

But I feel Social/professional network sites are now become the latest hotspot for Job hunt. Professional network sites like Linkedin has a definite advantage in the game. This site not only offers you a platform to connect to professional across globe but give access to uncalculated jobs within your network. Features like recommendations of your work are the definite advantage in establishing job seekers credibility.

So mantra for Job Hunt is networking.
