    In a conference that concluded at Abudhabi recently, Al-Qaeda’s board of directors unanimously decided to bring in more diversity in terms of non-muslim recruits. This is taken as a very positive move towards growth and is suspected to have been inspired from the Tata’s Diversity & Inclusion initiative. Meanwhile, Patels and Grujars have decided to join hands and asked for an 8.33% reservation in Al-Qaeda. The Al-Qaeda chief also agreed that it would be wise to hire engineers which can come at better ROI due to widespread unemployment amongst them. Moreover, he also looked positive in raising the 341st round of funding to burn cash faster than some of the biggest names of the Indian start-up sector. He also added that Lalu’s win in Bihar is heralding the Ache Din for its plan to disrupt growth in India.

    On the Go Job interviews

    We started our Journey of #RevolutionizingRecruitment in 2014 and have always tried to constantly better our offerings for both Job seekers and Job Providers. Our focus to constantly better our product offerings has been our greatest strengths that have allowed us to work with companies like UBER, Urban Clap, Pagalguy.com, GOR, Razorpay to name a few. In a recent interaction with one of our clients, we realized that the biggest challenge HR Managers face is of managing their time amidst coordinating and conducting Job interviews. On further research, we noticed that almost 85% of the interviews conducted following a similar pattern. A typical Job interview goes like
    1. Ice breaker Questions: Tell me something about yourself
    2. Job-specific questions: What value do you think you can add to the advertised position? How do your acquired skills make you a fit for this role?  Why do you think you will be a fit for this role? etc.
    3. Job essentials and Attitude Check: This Job role would be challenging. Do you think you will be able to handle the pressure? This Job role would require you to work on the field. Would you be comfortable?
    If we look at the core of hiring, it basically happens when you need additional resources to handle the current work deliverable. So, don’t we amplify our time-crunch when we dedicate 2-3 hours on daily basis for hiring? This got us thinking if 85% of interviews follow the exact same pattern, why not built a solution to save time for employers.
    Bingo… We are here with our OTG telephonic interview solution. Zigsaw is glad to have launched On-the-go Job interviews service with the launch of the 3rd version of Zigzobs.
    How does it work?
    1. While posting any Job on Zigzobs, you mention 3 questions that you would typically ask in any Job interview.
    2. While applying, Job seekers would be asked these 3 questions.
    3. Job seekers will be required to call a specific number (at any time of their convenience, available 24 X 7) providing their brief bio and the answers to the 3 questions that an interviewer would typically ask in a Job interview.
    4. These answers are recorded and are available for Job providers to listen to in View Jobs –>> View applications tab in their employer dashboard?
    OTG advantage: A dedicated Recruitment manager does 15-20 interviews a day. With OTG, a recruitment manager can conduct 20 interviews every hour, making him 800% more efficient. This amounts to 7 manhours/ day and 175 manhours/month. You can decide for yourself the value this service brings for you by saving 175 manhours per month of your recruitment manager.

    • Save the hassle of coordinating with potential aspirants. Automated interviews can be given at any time of the day which gets reflected in real-time in employers dashboard
    • These interviews can be evaluated anytime from anywhere by the recruitment manager
    • Allows you to customize interview questions for each job posting.

    Do you think this is cool? Well, we are offering this for FREE for the first 3 months after which it will be only Rs. 500/ month.

    Resume Writing Tips, Resume formatting tips and things to avoid in a Resume with sample – Practical 2 minute guide to create a Superstar Resume

    In the professional field, your resume is the most relevant and important document. It is your identity in a professional field. A resume is something that we keep on building or updating throughout our life. Most of the students or even qualified professionals face problems building up a great resume. Even if some people build a resume the resume is not up to the mark or great enough for the companies to consider it. Here are some quick & practical Resume Writing Tips to create a resume that helps you bag the Job of your choice. The article also includes a quick guide to format resumes

    One must know that a company has hundreds or thousands of resumes in front of it to select its employee. It is you who need to format your resume in the correct format and present it in a manner that it must stand out from the rest of the resumes.

    3 critical things to keep in mind while creating a resume in Hindi – 2 mins

    So how to build a great resume? How to make your resume be noticed by the employer? Below you would find some tips and suggestions that you may follow to make your resume stand out from the rest of them. Here are some tips for Making a resume that gets you the Job

    7 Key Elements of your resume

    • Start with career objective: This is where you sell yourself. It should be crisp, clear, and inspiring. Ideally should not be more than 2 short lines. Make sure that it is in sync with the job you are applying for. Example: I am an enthusiastic HR generalist looking out for challenging roles that could bring out the best in me. If your objective matches the job profile then your chances of being hired increase. But try not to boast yourself or your objectives as this gives a negative impression. Always try and mention your objective as what is your motive in life.
    • Educational Background: An employer would be more concerned about your skills, than the college you come from unless you come from IIT’s, IIM’s or NITs. An ideal way to express this would be in a 4 X N table
    • Talk about skills: This would be a part which the employer is most concerned about. Write your skills in a concise way, ideally 3-5 Write skills that relate to the job you are applying for. “The more the merrier” does not hold correct here. Writing too many skills might weigh down the core skills you would want to shout out in your resume
    • Experience: Start objectively. Where? when? What was your role? Change line and Brag about your role here. End with your key takeaways from these assignments. What an employer is more interested in is what did you learn in these assignments and how have you grown as an individual during this. Learn the functional & behavioral skills you acquired during each role. Even better if you can give numbers here.Example:
      Worked as Learning & Development-Lead at Tata Power.
      Tata Power is the largest integrated power company in India. CGPL Mundra boasts itself of being India’s first 800MW supercritical unit. Being the first of its kind, the technology used is by far superior to other Power Plants in India. While the workforce is a specialist in what they do, it is necessary to grow that knowledge to upkeep with the best practices. Also, at the same time conserving the knowledge that we have and effectively passing the baton to the next breed of technocrats. I was responsible for single-handedly consulting, identifying, planning, analyzing, and executing training at CGPL. My role included Coordination with line managers & HOD’s to ensure maximum value of programs to participants. Training Need compliance Index of 91% (target 80%) was achieved while maintaining a Training Effectiveness Index of 83% (target 75%).

      Key Takeaways: Resource Planning Skills and Execution Skills. My Negotiation & Interpersonal Skills across functions helped me over-deliver on my targets while helping others achieve theirs. Coordination with Top Management to formulate training needs in-line with the vision of the organization.

    • Futuristic Approach: Your academic expertise, work experience should outline a story and you should be able to explain why you did what you did. Nothing beats a narrative. They should also converge towards the current job opening that you are applying to. Underplay less relevant experiences, highlight more similar roles & achievements in that role.
    • Achievements: Write 1-2 achievements for each assignment you have undertaken. This shows that you have been a performer in each role you have undertaken and can deliver even in your next assignment. It is not about what you say, but how you say that makes all the difference
    • End with hobbies: Hobbies reflect that you are more than what you have done at the professional level. They add definite value to your personality. Ideally, between 2-3, a recruiter would not usually judge you on your hobbies. But here are 2-3 words in your resume that can help you build a personal repo with the recruiter. Use them wisely.

    Resume Writing: Tips & Tricks

    • Don’t write what you don’t know or things you haven’t done. There are 2 things that can happen when you write things you haven’t done or said more than what you have done.
      • The interviewer cross-questions you about your work-experience and sees right through it. Your interview ends here!!
      • The worse that could happen is that they do not find out. Now, they would ever expect from you and hence you would under-deliver in your role. This is a loss-loss situation for everyone
    • Right keywords: Resumes these days are digitally managed and HR managers search through them as and when required. The right combination of keywords would ensure that your resume pops up right at the top whenever you want it to. Try to use keywords that appeared in the job description. By doing this the chances of you getting selected increase as preliminary screening in most cases is done by machine these days. But again do not boast.
    • Write only positives. We, as humans make more subconscious decisions than conscious ones. Using negatives in the resume might reduce your chances of making through the cut. For example: Don’t write, I did not do A; instead, write, I was more focused on B than A
    • Exclude personal details: Don’t include your personal details in your resume. An interviewer is concerned about the skills you have. He would be least interested in what your father did or brother does or if your mother is a home-maker. He is interviewing you for the skills you have and would like to understand more of what value do you bring to the table.
    • Mention your Objective: Always try and mention your objective as what is your motive in life. If your objective matches the job profile then your chances of being hired increase. But try not to boast yourself or your objectives as this gives a negative impression.
    • Prioritise your content: Try to focus and give emphasis on your special achievements so as these things are considered first. Keep your achievements mentioned at the top.
    • Last, but not least. As Ramit Sethi says “50-60% of the words are not at all required”. Make sure that every single word on your resume earns its place.
    • Canva.com is 1 place I would recommend to create visually appealing resumes
    • Sometimes, the recruiter you apply to gets bombarded with 50-60 resumes a day & making sure than your resume stands out is the most effective way of getting shortlisted. No recruiter ever thinks  “Hey, look this resume looks different!! Let’s reject it”

    Resume formatting TIPS & tricks

    • Choose the basic font: Before writing the resumes choose the correct format. One should avoid going for stylish fonts and characters. The resume looks best when it is in the basic format and style.
    • Include all your contact details: While making a resume you should try and mention all your contact details especially phone numbers, so that the company can get into touch with you as smoothly and quickly as possible. Your complete address should be mentioned including your zip code.
    • Choose the correct type of resume: Based on your need and job profile try and choose the best resume format to apply. Depending on your circumstances you can choose a chronological, functional, combination, or a targeted resume. Take the time to write your resume.
    • Try and go for templates: Try to use a resume template to prepare your resume incorrect format. You can afterward customize the resume to your required format. You can check out some free resume making websites for your convenience
    • Avoid Copying: There is nothing more boring for Recruiters than to find similar resumes. Try to intrigue recruiters’ interest when he reads through your resume. Avoid copying someone else’s and making changes to it. Rather go for typing your resume yourself as this helps you make the required changes and you will never leave any unedited part behind. This also helps you recall what all is there in your resume as this is the part from where the interviewers ask the most questions from.
    • Resume Format: PDF resumes are most professional while submitting a resume over an email OR over the internet. A4 sheets are most convenient pick when submitting a resume in person.

    5 things to avoid in your resume

    When preparing your resume, it is important to avoid a few common mistakes that could negatively impact your chances of being considered for a job or internship. Here are some things to avoid in your resume:

    1. Inconsistent formatting: Make sure that your resume is visually appealing and easy to read by using consistent formatting, such as font size and type, headings, and margins.
    2. Grammar and spelling errors: Proofread your resume carefully to ensure that it is free of spelling and grammar errors. Even a small mistake can make you appear careless or untrustworthy.
    3. Vague or irrelevant information: Focus on including relevant and specific information on your resume, rather than listing general or vague responsibilities. Use concrete examples and quantify your achievements whenever possible.
    4. Omitting important information: Make sure to include all relevant information on your resume, including your education, work experience, and skills. If you have relevant achievements or awards, be sure to include them as well.
    5. Using a generic or unprofessional email address: Use a professional email address on your resume, rather than a personal or casual one. This could include your name or a combination of your name and a professional keyword.

    Overall, it is important to present yourself in the best possible light on your resume. By avoiding these common mistakes, you can increase your chances of standing out as a strong candidate.

    Sample Resume of Vaibhav Chouhan

    Key elements to note in the sample resume

    • Profile Summary and Career Objective are written under the head “Profile Summary”. Kindly note that the impact in numbers (Example: 2.5Lakh Job-seekers) speaks of genuinity and  has a positive impact on the reader. More numbers in terms of the impact the individual has had on organisations will make the resume even more attractive (Example: Number of clients onboarded, candidates placed for experience at Zigsaw, churn and growth numbers for the experience at Wooqer)
    • Testimonial Snapshots: These are individual recommendations that the resume creator has received and it serves as a wonderful reference for the reader. Although, a better idea would have been to also include the designation of the individuals who have written the recommendations.
    • Academic Background and Experience Summary: A succinct educational background and work-experience summary on the RHS provides necessary details of the individual. An AIR of 2430 in IIT JEE and an AIR of 1540 would have made the resume look better.
    • Contact Information: Contact email address, mobile number and LinkedIn profile link provide an easy access to the individual.

    P.S. Zigsaw has decide to help 1 individual every week for improving their resume and provide a 1:1 consultation absolutely FREE.

    10 Things You Should “Never” Do At Job Interviews !

    People say to practice hundreds of aptitude questions for an interview. They say to prepare all possible HR questions you come across Google. They suggest random sites for preparation. They share interview experiences�Â� with you. They tell you what to wear and how to speak. They tell you�Â� to do this or do that. But.. Nobody says about the things that you shouldn’t do. Don’t worry, here are 10 things you should never do at job interviews:
     

    Disability : Special Ability

    Most of us know about the Olympics. But the question is, how many of us know about the Paralympics ? After getting a single bronze in Olympics, we started celebrating. But many of us don’t even know that we got 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze in Paralympics. No matter we watched the match or not, almost everyone of us have heard about PV Sindhu winning silver and Sakshi Malik winning bronze in Olympics. But again, who knows about Devendra Jhajharia’s gold in the javelin throw or Deepa Malik’s silver in the shot put or Mariyappan Thangavelu’s gold and Varun Singh Bhati’s bronze in men’s high jump ? We haven’t even heard the name of these players. Why is it so ? What’s the reason they got less media coverage? Wait, you will get the answer very soon.
    Undoubtedly, Sindhu and Sakshi played marvellously and off course, they deserved appreciation, awards and accolades. Sindhu recieved 5 cr and land from Telangana govt, 3 cr from Andhra govt, 2 cr from Delhi govt, 50 lacs from MP govt, latest SUV model from M&M and what not. Even many business men and jewellers from her state presented her gifts. Similarly, Sakshi recieved 1 cr from Delhi and Haryana govt. Delhi govt even gave promotion to his father in delhi transport corporation. Not only the government or the people, many celebrities celebrated all day on Facebook and Twitter. Sachin presented them BMW, while Salman Khan gave 1.01 lacs to both of them. Even pizza hut gave free pizzas for their namesakes and why not they truly deserve all this and even more. But why the Paralympics winners not even got the equal admiration ? If not the windfall of cash rewards like Sindhu and Sakshi, why these players didn’t get the same respect ? Why govt didn’t gave this much rewards to these people ? Why we didn’t celebrate on their victory ? PV Sindhu and Sakshi did hardwork. Similarly they also did infact more coz they are disabled. Then why are we not feeling proud of them ? Why, why and many more whys? And the only answer is: THEY ARE DISABLES.
    Why disability is regarded as curse ? Why can’t we see that even after being disabled they have gone so far and we are still sitting here ? Because they are not disable, but our mentality is. Disability is nothing, every people have some special powers and they proved it.
    Disability is just a special ability. Come, lets respect it.

Her sweat paid off, she will be remembered for years and had already become a role model and inspiration for many.
    Another lady, from a small place with big dreams, Sakshi Malik brought the first medal for India in Rio. She secured bronze in Wrestling and encouraged other fellow players. She rejuvenated the spirit and determination of the other Indian players.
    Besides these two medal winners, many other women showed their glory at the Olympics. From Gymnast Dipa Karmarkar to Golf player Aditi Ashok, from Hockey player Vandana Katariya to Athlete Dutee Chand and many other Indian women played well at Rio Olympics. They marked the start of their journey and have a long way to go. Golden players of all time Sania Mirza and Saina Nehwal missed the luck but still have the same courage and determination to fight back. The performances of all these powerful women were about passion, grit, and hard work. And they have truly inspired many.
    In this world, there is no strength equal to Women Determination.” And they proved it. Their determination is the wake-up call for those who are still the victim of discrimination, prejudices, and stereotyping. Wake up girls, the country needs you.

    Flawed Education System: A serious issue !

    Let me ask you one question, Are you satisfied with our Education System? Don’t you need any change? Being in the recruitment ecosystem we have come across so many students as well as institutes and we have encountered many problems. As the whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows, we realized the call for the change.

    Many institutes, these days are only concerned with the course completion rather than the wholesome development of a candidate. More focus is on theoretical knowledge rather than practical. I agree that theoretical knowledge adds to our intellectual part but what about all-round development? Don’t you think that there should be more focus on skill development? Because without it, there would be no use of knowledge. Sometimes I feel that our education system is not updated enough because we are still following the classical rote learning. It’s not that people are not smart, undoubtedly we have way smarter people in our country but they are mostly unnoticed. We are living in an era of technology, it has been developed so much such that teaching should not be limited to a mere classroom. Besides these, there are a lot many loopholes in our education system. How can we forget the cherry on the top? “Reservation”, the biggest loophole of the education system. I think it can overcome by making education global.

    The goal of our new education system should be to create entrepreneurs, innovators, artists, scientists, thinkers, and writers who can establish the foundation of a knowledge-based economy rather than the low-quality service provider nation that we are turning into. Education should allow personalized modules. Education should be free so that the moti rakam which many of us invest in our studies could be used in the independent ventures of innovative entrepreneurs… because this is all where we lag behind. By doing this we can create a change and believe me that will lead to your self-betterment.

    If you develop a passion for learning, you will never cease to grow.

    Let us together revamp the Education System. Write your comments to let us know your problems regarding the Education System. We will help you in the best possible manner.

    Wake up guys.. it’s a call for action..call for change !

    Jabong: I was facing rough weather for the past few months. Global Fashion Group had been seeking buyers for me after Kinnevik and Rocket Internet was no more interested in making the investments. Myntra got me.

    Amazon: Jabong almost got sold to me in 2015. But we fell through due to a valuation mismatch. Anyways this deal makes them (Flipkart, Myntra, and Jabong) composite now, while I am still prime #Amazon Prime. 😉
    In spite of whatever happens in these industries; there is always good news for you guys. According to HSBC study, around 12 million jobs will be created in India’s e-commerce sector over the next 10 years and is also estimated that the number of people employed will grow by 700% by 2020.

    M&A story of Yahoo! – Riches to Rags

    Twitter users these days.
    Tweet 1: From $100bn to $5bn, #Yahoo! made it happen.
    Tweet 2: I can’t believe #Yahoo! got sold. This marks an end of an era.
    Tweet 3: Wonder how my yahoo mail will look like. Excited!
    Yes……Yahoo! got acquired by American telecommunications company, Verizon for $4.83 billion last Monday. But why is this deal hard to fathom for everyone? Why it shocked everyone? What’s the M&A story of YAHOO!?
    Well…! Before coming to yahoo’s story, let’s understand, what’s M&A? Merger and acquisition where, a merger means a combination of two companies to form a new company, while an acquisition is the purchase of one company by another in which no new company is formed. The intention, quite reasonably, is that the resulting combination of products, people, and pipelines will take the business to new heights. So what’s up with Yahoo’s merger or acquisition? Yes, you get it right, an acquisition it is.
    1990: Internet giant Yahoo was once worth $125 billion at the peak of the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s.
    1994: Yahoo began as Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web, a directory of websites.
    1998: Yahoo refuses to buy Google for $1 million.
    2002: Yahoo realized its mistake and tried to buy Google for $3 billion. Google asked $5 billion. Yahoo refused.
    2006: Yahoo made an offer to buy social networking site Facebook for $1 billion. Facebook refused.
    2008: Yahoo refused to be sold to Microsoft for $40 billion.
    2014: Yahoo was inspired by Modi Campaign. Still waiting for #Acche din! :p
    2016: It’s over. Yahoo got #Verizoned.
    Lesson for life 

    If opportunity does’nt™t knock, build a door. But if it knocks, at least open the door. 😉

    But we have lots of opportunities straight ahead. What if one opportunity would change your life?

    Designers are an integral part of any successful company

    Think of your company and the services you offer. Now think of all the competition you have in terms of product, service, marketing and branding. Looks tough, right? Getting started in your company is no sweat.
    So what separates the top 1% companies from the remaining 99%?
    Is it the well �â�€�œdesigned�â�€� brand presence? �â�€�¦ Yes, it is!
    �â�€�œA company’s design shapes the way an audience relates to your business, and any company, no matter the size, can benefit from employing design as a primary vehicle of brand expression.�â�€�
    Apple is one of the best examples. It used design to distinguish itself from its competitors. In the 1980s and ’90s, the�Â� design was often an afterthought for many major technology companies. Apple worked with several partner companies to create the distinct, consistent design aesthetic that consumers recognize today.
    “Through design, Apple was able to craft a positive brand presence that is slick and modern yet simple,” said Marlin creative designer at ShutterStock.
    Every internet user spends an�Â� average of 4.5 seconds of time interacting per post on social media. Wouldn�â�€�™t you want to leave an impact in these 4.5 seconds? Now imagine if you are able to tap into the infinite pool of opportunities on social media through a strong design sense & brand identity. Images not only improve but have been shown to be a vital�Â� part of a company�â�€�™s marketing mix. For marketing campaigns, quality graphics have proven time and time again to be one of the most important factors to the success. Blog articles posted with images get�Â� 94% more views�Â� than articles without images. Twitter and Facebook posts with images lead to�Â� 2.3 times�Â� as many shares�Â� and re-tweets. Press releases with images�Â� increase views by 45%. 63% of online shoppers�Â� consider the quality of the product image to be more important than the product information and 53% consider them more important than ratings and reviews. 70% of marketers�Â� plan to increase their use of unique visual marketing in 2015. 95% of B2B buyers�Â� say they prefer shorter more visual content formats.
    With these statistics backing them up, it�â�€�™s apparent that designers are an integral part of every successful company.
    Design can do more wonders. Do you know how design changed the fortunes of the Airbnb? What was the turning point for the company?
    They believed that everything they did had to be �â�€�˜scalable.�â�€�™ It was only when they gave themselves permission to experiment with non-scalable changes to the business that they climbed out of what they called the �â�€�˜trough of sorrow.�â�€�™ Here what they say scalable is 1000 lines of coding and non-scalable is design thinking.
    Design thinking transformed Airbnb from a failing startup to a billion dollar business.
    To be more recent, the perfect example is one the most successful�Â� iOS�Â� apps, Prisma. This photo-editing application had achieved 7.5 million downloads and over 1 million active users earlier this month, having been released just one month earlier.
    How can design help you as a small business?
    As a small business, this can mean the difference between gaining an edge over your competitors and turning customers off completely. That�â�€�™s why it�â�€�™s so crucial to invest the necessary time and resources in a visually pleasing, well-designed brand presence.�Â� The clearer your overall company identity is, the more likely your company is to survive and thrive.
    You will feel more confident representing your company with a kickass business card a well-designed business card will bring life back to that first impression the client had of you. If it�â�€�™s representing your company, then make sure it is the best it can be. A�Â� stand out�Â� design will raise their confidence in you.
    All you need is a good designer. #bezigsawed�Â� with us !

    Play Pokemon GO with Zigsaw!

    Whether it’s Facebook or Instagram, you might have seen a lot of craziness about the game Pokemon GO. It is a location-based augmented reality mobile game. It allows you to capture and train Pokemon, who appear on screens as though in the real world.
    But here is something which is completely new for you. Here we let you play our version of Pokemon GO of the recruitment world. Catch Pokemons with Pokemon GO, get jobs with Zigzobs!
    Features of our game & the comparison with Pokemon GO !!

    • There you go for searching Pokemon; here jobs are available at your fingertips.
    • There you must physically travel to explore the game’s map, where you just need to register with us @ zigzobs
    • There, Poke Stops provide you with items, such as eggs, Poke Balls, and potions to attract Pokemon, here we provide you facilities like resume making and selecting your skills related feature.
    • There on encountering a Pokemon the Pokeball must be “thrown” to capture it, here job opportunities can be caught by clicking on apply button of zigsaw.
    • There you create an avatar by selecting a hair, skin, eye color, style, and outfit, here we counsel people for the interview. We explain answers to tentative questions and make them practice the answers, etc.
    • There are gyms where you can train your pokemon’s, we are conceptualizing Zigsaw Institute of Development

    One feature that is planned for Pokemon GO is that you can share your Pokeballs /Pokemons with your friends. We currently have this feature as referring a friend button on all job opening. Plus you get referral incentives when you refer a friend for any job opening.
    A glimpse of what we have made is here:

    After catching all the 142 Pokemons, the game just ends there and nothing happens after it. You don’t get any rewards while your dream jobs await you when you play with us. Plus when you share pokemon’s with your friends/colleagues on zigsaw.in, you can win cash prizes worth Rs. 5000
    So what are you waiting for? Come on let’s play it..!!!
    Somebody from future also spotted another difference: Pokemon went viral in 3rd quarter of 2016, zigzobs in 4th quarter
