E-Commerce India - Job Search simplified


If I am looking for a job, how do I reach out to all the companies who are seeking potential employees in their organization? In olden days (a decade has become 'old' now :-), I should have submitted my resume to Human Resource agencies, who have active connections with various corporates. They could have connected me to respective companies after first-cut screening. I had to wait for long to get a call from this HR agency, depending on it's credibility and reach.

Job portals, opened up to the job-seekers all across the nation, have made this process more efficient. Sites like http://naukri.com, http://monster.com and http://timesjobs.com have brought the process to the Internet and increased the chances for candidates to find a better job (who knows what's in store until a candidate joins the new company and undergoes that experience). Employer has to pay, to seek the resumes of potential employees. That makes it free for me - an employment seeker -  to post my resume on any of these sites.

Travel (http://irctc.co.in etc), matrimony (http://bharatmatrimony.com etc) and job sites (as mentioned above) were the initial popular web-based services in India. With so much of diversity and more than 20% of world's population, that is no surprise :-)
