We had taken down Jobeehive for a little while to set few things in order. We had to clean up our code base and fix few architectural issues that had bogged down our system, particularly the database. We lost some data, but user login data is intact. You can login and start researching your favorite companies and industries. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We have new partners who will now support us to increase our reach in India and US.

The 5 tools listed below should help you speed up some of the most uninteresting tasks - and still allow you to keep all the wallpapers, games and movies intact! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. Xobni:&lt;/span&gt; For all those who live out of the inbox, &lt;a tooltip="linkalert-tip" href="http://www.xobni.com/"&gt;Xobni&lt;/a&gt; (reverse of inbox) is a welcome relief. Once installed, it takes stock of all your mails and personal folders. It creates a social network of colleagues right in your inbox and you can now easily search for people, conversations and attachments. Other features include integration with LinkedIn, Facebook and Hoovers along with some inbox specific stats for the super-organized folks. Xobni is great time saver when you are looking for a long-forgotten mail chain with hardly any strings to enter in the search fields that are otherwise enabled in MS Outlook. Flip side: slows down the loading of Outlook on first boot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. Launchy:&lt;/span&gt; Alright, you put as many shortcuts on your desktop as possible, but where does the next one go? &lt;a href="http://www.launchy.net/"&gt;Launchy&lt;/a&gt; helps you in accessing all your files with minimal hassle and keeps your desktop clutter-free. After installation and initial catalog building, press Alt+Space (customizable) to invoke Launchy. Type in the first few letters of the file, application, folder or URL and hit enter for instant access. Launchy is mouseless, very light, has a compact interface and helps you locate files you didn’t even know resided on your hard disk! Flip side: There is no auto catalog rebuilding and this has to be done manually on a periodic basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. Clear Temp:&lt;/span&gt; For most of us, clearing Temporary files is like exercising – we know it is good but we never do it. And on the rare occasions when we do get on to it, the irksome prompt saying some files are currently being used in the session dampens all further enthusiasm. &lt;a href="http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Clear-TEMP-folder.shtml"&gt;Clear Temp&lt;/a&gt; is a small .exe file that cleans all your temp folders in one swipe and closes itself once done. Put it in your startup list of executables and you can forget about clearing temp folders for the rest of your life. Flip side: Doesn’t clean up Recent Docs, Recycle Bin and Registry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. Caffeine:&lt;/span&gt; You are in the thick of a presentation or on a phone call and lo! Your laptop locks itself as per your organization’s security protocol. To avoid the inconvenience of re-entering your login details/biometrics during such occasions, use &lt;a href="http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/caffeine/index.html"&gt;Caffeine&lt;/a&gt; which is a minuscule .exe that simulates a Shift key press every 59 seconds thereby preventing your system from getting into the lock, screensaver or sleep mode. Flip side: Can’t be customized to run along with specific applications or on a scheduled time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. Tweak UI:&lt;/span&gt; This is a well-known Microsoft add-on that enables you to &lt;a tooltip="linkalert-tip" href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx"&gt;customize most features of your PC&lt;/a&gt;. Perhaps the one that saves some minutes is the Autologon feature which allows you to do just that into your office network on system startup after you have stored the right username, domain and password. This might not be a great idea if you are using a desktop or a shared laptop but if you are the sole user of your system, this tweak does save a few keystrokes and minimizes instances of failed logins and the more extreme system lockouts depending on how slipshod you can get ;) Flip side: Doesn’t auto-update password when changed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that these tools will give your office PC an edge over the latest Cray XMP build but they’ll certainly make it quicker, this side of a defrag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-4832728434516974587?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/4832728434516974587'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/4832728434516974587'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2009/07/five-5-min-savers.html' title='Five 5-min savers'/><author><name>Hriday</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01616352743356729985</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/Sr8pDoHwHhI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/smtSK0mxFi8/S220/Me+at+Ashlesh+11112222.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/Sm3UGz87K2I/AAAAAAAAB0E/VsFFaoxGLPM/s72-c/stopwatch.PNG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296188164107520926.post-6508251906919809158</id><published>2009-07-08T07:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-08T07:58:18.863-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spare bandwidth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hriday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='email subject lines'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Urgent and Important'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TIA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PFA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jobeehive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gentle reminder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Office lingo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Office jargon'/><title type='text'>Office Jargon Demystified</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/SlSzqw65KRI/AAAAAAAABy0/E-MtYzIHeYU/s1600-h/office+jargon.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 316px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/SlSzqw65KRI/AAAAAAAABy0/E-MtYzIHeYU/s320/office+jargon.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356103404118157586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like every other tribe under the sun, officedom too comes with a cant unique unto itself. Office lingo is filled with words that sound like a clap of heavenly thunder and almost makes you worship the guy who used it on your uninitiated ears. Seasoned office-goers would find it highly dissatisfying if they don’t get to use some of it a few dozen times everyday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless you are the type who’d like to learn things the hard way, here’s a brief primer of some popular office jargon and their probable undertones: ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;PFA:&lt;/span&gt; An email acronym that stands for ‘Please find attached’. The sender doesn’t want to explain things to you and expects you to learn from the attachment, which is usually a very large document that might take you a decade to wade through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;TIA:&lt;/span&gt; An email sign-off that expands to ‘Thanks in Advance’. You are being thanked for an act you are yet to commit, implying that you have no way out but to achieve the expected results. Usually comes with a deadline that is surprisingly within the next 30 min and is ALWAYS accompanied with the PFA as interpreted above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;“Let’s take it offline”: &lt;/span&gt;Mostly used in telephonic or video conferences indicating that the thread currently being discussed concerns only a select few attendees. But by the time this great truth is realized, all the rest in the call would have blinked away gallons of yawn-induced tears and dug their nails deep into the underside of the table in a desperate attempt to avoid the embarrassment of falling asleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Spare Bandwidth:&lt;/span&gt; This is a cunning way of asking if you have ‘additional time’ to complete some extra tasks that no one else wants to do. If you declare that you don’t, it has the uncanny ability of coming back to you with increased load and without an option to reject, this time around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Urgent and Important:&lt;/span&gt; Seen in the subject lines of emails that are just that….for the sender, not you. S/he has now made it your mandate and if you are not careful, you will be doing all of it in your ‘spare bandwidth’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Gentle Reminder:&lt;/span&gt; Again, sent as subject lines of emails to invoke actions to the Urgent and Important activities explained above. The ‘Gentle’ part is mostly restricted to the subject line and as days go by, the content gets ‘gentler and gentler’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a gazillion others, what’s your favorite?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-6508251906919809158?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/6508251906919809158'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/6508251906919809158'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2009/07/office-jargon-demystified.html' title='Office Jargon Demystified'/><author><name>Hriday</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01616352743356729985</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/Sr8pDoHwHhI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/smtSK0mxFi8/S220/Me+at+Ashlesh+11112222.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/SlSzqw65KRI/AAAAAAAABy0/E-MtYzIHeYU/s72-c/office+jargon.png' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296188164107520926.post-4334747715582290859</id><published>2009-06-29T22:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-29T23:07:11.408-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='manage stress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spouse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='friend'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='relationship'/><title type='text'>Time to A-C-T Stress</title><content type='html'>STRESS, perhaps is one of the most oft used words of modern world. ‘I am stressed’ is one phrase that I have been uttering more than my name ever since my post education days. Work stresses me, family stresses me, friends stress me, relationship stresses me. And it’s all real I can actually feel the weight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got married recently and marriage as you know is a package. New people, new ways of thinking, new ways of everyday living, along with expectations from your existing relationships and demands of your existing job. Till about a fortnight ago I was heading very clumsily attending to both personal and professional life. So busy did I get with this ‘attending’ business that I almost forgot about a life I had once aspired to enjoy. I went around asking friends on how to tackle the situation. But while on surface it might sound similar, actually all of our situations are so different that it is difficult to derive what worked for others into your life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realized stress is something extremely internal to me and it is I who can do something about it. After a bout of real hard thinking I embarked upon a method which I would call A-C-T:  Ask-Contemplate-Tackle. Many might feel it is a clone of SWOT – well may be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I did here is: I first Asked/Analyzed the situation looking at all the whats, whys, whens and hows. Next I Contemplated on the character that I am (good, bad, ugly), people I have around, environment I am in, my financial and social standing. Finally, based on all my derivatives above I charted out on how I tackle the situation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One bit of caution before we go about the A-C-T exercise is to be as unbiased as possible. Though all questions are extremely subjective we need to keep an independent view of all the entities in question here – ourselves, people around us and our environment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ASK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the situation?&lt;br /&gt;Why have I fallen into it?&lt;br /&gt;When are the times when I fall prey to stressful situations?&lt;br /&gt;How has my external environment played a role in it?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;CONTEMPLATE: (A combination of both strengths and weaknesses)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at self&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; What am I like?&lt;br /&gt; How do I react to a situation?&lt;br /&gt; How do I take feedbacks?&lt;br /&gt; How do I react to the unexpected or unknown? …..etc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at people around you: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; What kinds of behavior make me feel good?&lt;br /&gt; What kinds of behavior intimidate me?&lt;br /&gt; Who all can I open up with and how much?&lt;br /&gt; Role people around me have played in such situations in the past?&lt;br /&gt; Role they could play now?&lt;br /&gt; Do I need to bank upon anyone or is it self handle(able)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the environment around you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Environment am I comfortable in (could be anything crowded place, not so crowded  place, intellectual talks, light talks etc)&lt;br /&gt; Environment I am not comfortable in&lt;br /&gt; What all have I landed myself into, in the past, because of my like or dislike of any environment?&lt;br /&gt; Role, my liking or disliking of my current environment, is playing now&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at your financial and social standing (independent of stress to asses whether the stress is real or artificial)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Are you fine enough financially?&lt;br /&gt; Are you secure – house, security policies, safe job etc?&lt;br /&gt; Relationship – are you doing fine with all your everyday contacts like spouse, parents, siblings, close friends, boy/girl friend?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our minds enjoy intense thinking. Stress I would say is another form intense thinking. So sometimes when all is well (finance, security, relationships) we still feel stressed for reasons unknown to us (what many of us call as BLUES). That's because our minds would have created some artificial intense thinking cloud just so that it is occupied. That is why assessing whether the stress is real or artificial is necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TACKLE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have some clarity about:&lt;br /&gt; The situation&lt;br /&gt; How I react and think about something&lt;br /&gt; Impact that people and environment around me have on me&lt;br /&gt; Whether or not I have essential materialistic want  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on the above make an outline of the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; ACCEPT: I am stressed because am in real trouble and I want to do something about it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; OR My stress is artificial all that looks wrong to me are actually minor issues &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the stress is real, answer these:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; What are those (part of character, people, environment) that I shouldn’t and can’t do away with?&lt;br /&gt; What are those that I should avoid and to what extent?&lt;br /&gt; How much should I get involved intensely (conversation, a situation, a feedback etc)&lt;br /&gt; When should I keep it to surface level?&lt;br /&gt; What are the things that I can let go without hurting myself?&lt;br /&gt; When should I send the ‘I don’t like it’ message?&lt;br /&gt; Which emotions/reactions of mine should I take seriously (based on my experience or real or artificial stress)?&lt;br /&gt; How do I deal with set of people (ones I can/should get closed to, one I should keep it at formal level)?.....etc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There can be many more ways of dealing with a situation. Crux of everything is: The Answer lies within us, all we need is to look for it!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:kgrjhinuk@gmail.com"&gt;Jhinuk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-4334747715582290859?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/4334747715582290859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/4334747715582290859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2009/06/time-to-c-t-stress.html' title='Time to A-C-T Stress'/><author><name>Jhinuk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04953824653408480490</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296188164107520926.post-5558426160444960436</id><published>2009-06-25T07:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-25T08:13:01.635-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='achievement orientation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Snapshots from hell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nice guys vs aggressive guys'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hriday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Workplace attitude'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jobeehive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Peter Robinson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='people orientation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tips to climb the corporate ladder'/><title type='text'>OPINION: ‘Nice’ guys go to heaven; all others could be corporate honchos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/SkORhMo2FUI/AAAAAAAABuE/ElitMfiggrI/s1600-h/office.PNG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 208px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/SkORhMo2FUI/AAAAAAAABuE/ElitMfiggrI/s320/office.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351280781760533826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Assuming you are not reading this entry along with your boss, you might probably LOL at the notion of a ‘nice boss’.

Can you be ‘nice’ and still get the job done?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his book, ‘&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Snapshots-Hell-Peter-Robinson/dp/1857880781/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1245941803&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Snapshots from Hell&lt;/a&gt;’, Peter Robinson mentions that the workplace is driven by ‘testosterone induced aggression’ - a set of masculine traits such as dominance, fierceness and even ruthlessness. Being a boss entails managing a team to get the desired results within the specified time frame in such a competitive corporate environment. So when the pressure mounts and deadlines approach, a boss can’t be smooth-tongued with the team for a successful completion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you look around your workplace vicinity, you might be surprised to see that the guys with candy-sweet words and easy temper aren’t quite high up while the guys who are not considered so are usually in the big league. Don’t confuse this &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_and_causation"&gt;correlation with causation&lt;/a&gt;; aggressiveness might be seen in most people high up but it might not be the (only) cause/reason why they are up there. Needless to say, other leadership qualities are essential. But so is aggressiveness. Simply put, you can’t aspire to be the CEO of your company next month by snapping at all the people you meet from now on. But if you ever intend to get there, you can’t do so by being ‘nice’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A boss who is achievement-oriented can’t possibly be people-oriented at the same time. So he is unlikely to grant you a week’s leave when an important milestone is round the bend, thereby incurring your displeasure and this is where he differs from the ‘nice’ guys. Eventually, it is this that takes him higher up. He doesn’t allow his ‘desire to be nice’ to impede his ‘desire to achieve and deliver’ when he is forced to pick only one of the two. Not that he resorts to aggressiveness at the very first instance but he doesn’t back off when he thinks it is time to do so. And looking at it from an organizational perspective, ‘nice’ guys could end up being repetitive &lt;a href="http://jobeehive.blogspot.com/2009/05/go-getter-or-show-stopper.html"&gt;show-stoppers&lt;/a&gt; while the aggressive guys could be the ones the organization counts on to deliver progressively. Therefore, being ‘nice’ is perhaps not a quality organizations look for!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are planning to climb the corporate ladder, you might probably want to gear up for the ‘not-so-nice’ title. Yea, you can practice putting on that mean face right away but don’t forget to exit Solitaire and show some great results out of the task you are currently working on ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-5558426160444960436?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/5558426160444960436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/5558426160444960436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2009/06/nice-guys-go-to-heaven-all-others-could.html' title='OPINION: ‘Nice’ guys go to heaven; all others could be corporate honchos'/><author><name>Hriday</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01616352743356729985</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/Sr8pDoHwHhI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/smtSK0mxFi8/S220/Me+at+Ashlesh+11112222.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/SkORhMo2FUI/AAAAAAAABuE/ElitMfiggrI/s72-c/office.PNG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296188164107520926.post-5867142851042793813</id><published>2009-06-12T09:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-12T09:31:43.519-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Free web utilities'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Virtual Office'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='space management tools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hriday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='finance management tools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jobeehive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='telepresence tools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='project management tools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='document sharing and storage tools'/><title type='text'>Essential Tools for your Virtual Office</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/SjJ9yTeXs4I/AAAAAAAABso/6-JKBd5Zv00/s1600-h/Logos.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 293px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/SjJ9yTeXs4I/AAAAAAAABso/6-JKBd5Zv00/s320/Logos.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346474010816787330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Not every business can afford to invest in important utilities and resources, especially during the startup stage. But assuming you have enough dough to own a desktop in working condition and broadband, here are some free web tools to address the 5 most crucial needs of any business:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. Video conferencing and telepresence:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.tokbox.com/"&gt;Tokbox&lt;/a&gt; is a web utility that enables onscreen Vcon using a web cam. Unlike the more popular &lt;a href="http://www.skype.com/"&gt;Skype &lt;/a&gt;which mandates an installation on all terminals and permits Vcons only among registered users, Tokbox is purely online and only one person in the entire team need maintain a profile; all others may directly join the Vcon after they receive the session URL from this user. &lt;a href="http://www.dimdim.com/"&gt;Dimdim &lt;/a&gt;is a similar service but the free version allows only 1 webcam. &lt;a href="http://www.dimdim.com/"&gt;TinyChat&lt;/a&gt; allows upto 12 members in the free version. Chat, session recording, file-sharing, whiteboard and screen-sharing options are other features available between the three.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. Document storage and sharing:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.getdropbox.com/"&gt;Dropbox&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://mozy.com/"&gt;Mozy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.wuala.com/"&gt;Wuala&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://box.net/"&gt;Box.net&lt;/a&gt; are store-sync-share utilities and may be used like an online USB drive. &lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/"&gt;Google Docs&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.zoho.com/"&gt;Zoho&lt;/a&gt; enable online creation, editing and sharing of docs, spreadsheets and other Office Suite components. Both have mobile versions so you can access your docs on the fly. Additionally, &lt;a href="http://www.evernote.com/"&gt;Evernote&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.google.com/notebook/"&gt;Google Notebook&lt;/a&gt; for notes, &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/"&gt;Flickr&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/"&gt;Picasa&lt;/a&gt; for pics and &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/"&gt;SlideShare,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.authorstream.com/"&gt;Authorstream&lt;/a&gt; for presentations are useful sharing options to explore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. Finance Management:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.mint.com/"&gt;Mint&lt;/a&gt; is a good tool to manage your business’s income and expenditure. You can link your bank account to your profile after signing up and get ready reports, charts and break-ups as the money keeps going in and out, practically eliminating the book-keeping task. Other features like alerts, easy categorizations and mobile access ensure you are always on top of things. &lt;a href="http://www.wesabe.com/"&gt;Wesabe&lt;/a&gt; is an interesting alternative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. Project Management:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.es-software.net/employee-scheduling/content/clockit-online"&gt;ClockIT&lt;/a&gt; takes care of all your time tracking, milestone mapping and Gantt chart plotting requirements. You can assign tasks to co-workers and track progress conveniently. It also has a file storing facility that enables sharing of project related documents with the concerned team mates. &lt;a href="http://apps.onyaka.com/Default.aspx"&gt;Onyaka&lt;/a&gt; has a dead simple interface and is a convenient tool for staff scheduling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. Space Management:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.floorplanner.com/"&gt;Floorplanner&lt;/a&gt; is a cool tool to ensure that you plan and utilize every inch in your office. Starting with a 2D layout, you can drag-n-drop furniture, flooring, windows, doors, plants, electronic items etc from the elaborate library and then render it in 3D at the click of a button. You can also share your workspace designs with non-registered users.&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://dragonfly.autodesk.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://dragonfly.autodesk.com/"&gt;Dragonfly&lt;/a&gt; is a similar tool with all the functionality of Floorplanner and has a sleeker output, with the translucent walls creating a really classy effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So until you can afford a swank office with ubercool telepresence gizmos and a team of expensive-looking finance blokes, the above utils should certainly help you run the show just fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-5867142851042793813?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/5867142851042793813'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/5867142851042793813'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2009/06/essential-tools-for-your-virtual-office.html' title='Essential Tools for your Virtual Office'/><author><name>Hriday</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01616352743356729985</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/Sr8pDoHwHhI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/smtSK0mxFi8/S220/Me+at+Ashlesh+11112222.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/SjJ9yTeXs4I/AAAAAAAABso/6-JKBd5Zv00/s72-c/Logos.png' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296188164107520926.post-1501214950944435736</id><published>2009-06-07T22:21:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-07T22:33:47.057-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recommendations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='public profile'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Facebook'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tweetmyjobs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='resume'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Linkedin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Twitter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='social networks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CV'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jobs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='job search'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='career'/><title type='text'>It’s About ‘Who’ you Know more than ‘What’ You Know</title><content type='html'>We post our CVs on a Monster or a Naukri and we think we’ve done our job. Think from employer’s shoes – wouldn’t s/he want to trust what you claim in your CV, wouldn’t s/he want to validate your candidature from an industry connection known to both you and your prospective employer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May be it’s time we relooked at our job searching approach. Today, it’s about who (who can validate your potential) you know in the industry rather than how much or what you know.  Job search through industry connections on social networking sites like Linkedin.com are increasingly getting in vogue.   &lt;br /&gt;With millions of resumes hitting HR inboxes, candidates referred through social networks is becoming a popular way for recruiters to filter applicants.    &lt;br /&gt;Tarun Hukku, an active social networker feels jobs have become ‘Topic No.1’on networking sites. Hukku is the founder of the regional social networking site - Bangalore Business Network which belongs to Ryze - a business-networking site which has groups based on career and geographical regions. &lt;br /&gt;“It’s easy for an employer to check out the subtler nuances of an applicant’s character which are usually never documented in a CV. For instance a quality like if a person is active on a social network and has a good standing amongst the members then the chances of him being a good team player are high.” &lt;br /&gt;Indians, he thinks, are equal if not more active than most nationalities as far as online social networking goes. “In fact some sites have a dominant Indian presence. And this trend will continue to grow.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though job hosting portals are still in, traffic to social networking sites is amongst the fastest-growing on the Internet, claims &lt;a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2009/mar/30/business/fi-linkedin30"&gt;ComScore Inc&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;LinkedIn is thriving in the recession with &lt;a href="http://money.cnn.com/2009/03/24/technology/hempel_linkedin.fortune/index.htm"&gt;traffic doubling&lt;/a&gt; to 6.9 million in February from 3.3 million a year earlier. Facebook today has 175 million-plus members. &lt;br /&gt;Both &lt;a href="http://www.cio.com.au/article/298587/job_hunting_2_0_get_social_down_economy  "&gt;Facebook and Twitter &lt;/a&gt;have career oriented online groups and applications like Jobster Career Network and sites like TweetMyJobs. In India there is &lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/"&gt;Jobeehive&lt;/a&gt;, which not only does company surveys based on user generated content, but also has professionals networking actively. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Software engineer Kushal Das says “Connections on networks are people known to you through work or personally. Added to that if you have couple of recommendations from fellow professionals, it helps building the trust factor for the employer.” &lt;br /&gt;Harit Mankad, manager in a software company, “In social network sites the jobs on display actually match your profile as against talking to consultants who don't always understand the job we do.” &lt;br /&gt;Business Analyst Arun Ghodke who also social-networks for career feels, sites like “Linkedin have features to pinpoint the search for suitable job openings like posts on latest jobs opening etc. That helps.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what are you waiting for, get a public profile and start connecting to people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Websites you could look at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.linkedin.com/"&gt;Linkedin&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://ryze.com/ "&gt;RYZE&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.slipsquad.com/"&gt;Slip Squad&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href=" http://www.tweetmyjobs.com/"&gt;Tweet-My-Jobs&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; ,   &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; ,  &lt;a href="http://www.meetup.com/"&gt;Meet Up&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com"&gt;Jobeehive&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;For affective networking:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•Widen your network before getting into the situation of needing another job &lt;br /&gt;•Keep your online profiles (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin) connected &lt;br /&gt;•Ping your contacts that you are looking for a change &lt;br /&gt;•Help out your connections whenever you can that’s the best way to get noticed&lt;br /&gt;•The more the number of connections and recommendations the better is your social credibility. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy networking to all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:kgrjhinuk@gmail.com"&gt;Jhinuk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-1501214950944435736?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/1501214950944435736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/1501214950944435736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2009/06/its-about-who-you-know-more-than-what.html' title='It’s About ‘Who’ you Know more than ‘What’ You Know'/><author><name>Jhinuk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04953824653408480490</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296188164107520926.post-3387574769046460266</id><published>2009-06-01T08:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-01T08:09:48.705-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Google Goats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hriday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jobeehive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cost cutting measures'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='layoffs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Recession'/><title type='text'>More Goats, Lesser Coffee.

But many companies have resorted to less brutal measures to save jobs and cut costs. Of course, the intention of the organizations is unquestionably benign and the employees have no choice either, but some of them seem really odd when compared to the good old times when things were aplenty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gone are the times when there used to be unlimited free coffee in the dispenser, organizations now ration caffeine and deliver it to addicted employees in metered doses. Outgoing calls from landlines are being monitored, usage of staircases instead of elevators is strongly encouraged and printing any document more than two pages is almost a luxury! Even &lt;a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/mowing-with-goats.html"&gt;Google has decided to use goats to mow lawns&lt;/a&gt; instead of the traditional lawn mowers to save on electricity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Product Marketing Analyst, &lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/account/profile/107"&gt;Sneh&lt;/a&gt; was involved in an online discussion where she has got wind of the fact that toilet tissues have vanished overnight from the loos of an organization. ;) We bet there are more such measures wafting around. We can’t get a peek into your offices so do tell us some of the cost-cutting measures your org has resorted to, which you think are beneficial, thoughtful, irritating, ridiculous or even downright hilarious… if you are in the habit of laughing at yourself that is ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-3387574769046460266?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/3387574769046460266'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/3387574769046460266'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2009/06/more-goats-lesser-coffee-what-next.html' title='More Goats, Lesser Coffee.

Not really – it’s actually happening – Visual resumes or interactive CVs or Resume 2.0s are a reality today. It is your web based or online profile comprising details of your work experiences, education, and other professional particulars wherein you could add images of your work, university degree certificates, charts and graphs of your career growth so far and if that’s not enough an introductory audio or a video of yourself elaborating on your skills and strength areas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And all of it goes to the employer in the form of a web link which they just click instead of having to download the conventional word doc or PDF CVs. These online visual profiles can also be imported to social networking sites like Linkedin, Twitter etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the sites you could go to for creating Visual resumes are: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.visualcv.com/www/indexc.html"&gt;VisualCV&lt;/a&gt; (I have used this one and for the first time I found something that allowed me to upload samples of my newsletters, copies of my media articles etc. It makes my profile look more complete now.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.navagility.com/nvrr/site/index.php"&gt;NavAgility&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wordle.net/"&gt;Wordle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pictureitsolved.blogpost.com/"&gt;Picture-it-Solved On Blogpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/tag/resume"&gt;Slideshare&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But why bother, aren’t the word docs we send good enough? Sure but try answering these: in the last 2 months how many jobs have you applied for and how many calls did you get? Does it range in a ratio of 20:2,3 or max 5? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would potential recruiters notice your resume that looks alike thousands of others lying there? With the job market going erratic than ever everybody is as insecure and desperate for a good job as you are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could be more skilled than the average – but are you positioning it well? Is your resume standing out? &lt;br /&gt;In an online group discussion at &lt;a href="http://www.linkedin.com/answers/hiring-human-resources/staffing-recruiting/HRH_SFF/278117-3226895"&gt;Linkedin&lt;/a&gt; an HR team leader of an American retail major stated that technology is fast changing recruitment methods – today recruiters ‘google’ applicants’ profiles to come to a decision soon how the information is represented on the web will also be deciding factor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Others ask if a visual profile would answer the vital question: "Do you have the skills, training and experience to succeed in this new role?" Many feel visual CVs are only for creative jobs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To me these arguments sound like those conventional resistances before any change. Afterall an online resume does not only give you details of the work, education and skills (like a traditional CV) additionally it provides the room to substantiate your claims with visual proofs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spoke to a few Indian HR and people managers to find out whether there’s any such trend in India. Informed Guruvayurappan, head HR, Omega Healthcare, “I haven’t yet received any CV with visuals. I feel before visual resumes make headway into the Indian job markets they need to tackle issues like size of such files and employers’ infrastructural ability and secondly HR fraternity in India isn’t yet tech savvy enough so awareness about it hasn’t really spread.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my manager if he’s received any. “So far none! Even the HR doesn’t prefer one because of the size of the files,” says he. Padmini P, leading a team of tech writers hasn’t yet see seen any CV with photos, images or graphics, so far it’s only been PDFs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still checked with some more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Training manager with a software company Binu Kurup too says she hasn’t yet seen CVs with graphics and images as such. “I think the main reason is most of the automated HR tools accept only text based CVs as they are easy to parse. But I would love to see visual resumes as it is a better choice, than reading volumes of text.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Web designing manager Suresh Nayar adds, “I do get some CVs where the portfolio could be located online but not yet a microwebsite which would house their profile, projects and their contacts. In my field, I would love to see an online portfolio and that really helps me gauge their creative potential.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looks like while none that I spoke to has actually seen a visual resume, many are quite excited about it as it will give them a better view of the applicant’s candidature. One reservation which has been stated is the file size and employers’ infrastructures to accept/download them. Well, since it’s a web link accessing it could be as seamless as accessing any image/video heavy sites like a youtube.com.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the cautions, however, you could take before trying a visual resume are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Don’t get overwhelmed and end up making it too vague with only images and graphics in it&lt;br /&gt;- Balance content and images&lt;br /&gt;- Do not jazz it up too much&lt;br /&gt;- When sending the profile link mention that it is a secure link&lt;br /&gt;- To be begin with send your plain text CVs as attachments and mention link to you online profile in the email&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ultimate idea is to get noticed!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:kgrjhinuk@gmail.com"&gt;Jhinuk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-4955697255752360738?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/4955697255752360738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/4955697255752360738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2009/05/let-your-cv-do-talking.html' title='Let Your CV do the Talking'/><author><name>Jhinuk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04953824653408480490</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296188164107520926.post-2670679525722559392</id><published>2009-05-21T07:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-21T07:52:17.318-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Office gyan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hriday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Impossible'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Workplace attitudes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jobeehive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Go-getter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Show-stopper'/><title type='text'>Go-getter or show-stopper?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So when was the last time you said, “IMPOSSIBLE” at your workplace? Of course, we have all been taught right from our 5th grades that uttering the “I” word is very uncool and with all the &lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/company/layoffs"&gt;current layoffs&lt;/a&gt; reaching dizzying levels, not one person in his/her right senses would remotely come anywhere close to experimenting with that word, eh? ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But ‘Impossible’ is a word that comes in many hues: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;‘It’s not my job’&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;‘Why should I do it?’, ‘How does that concern me?’, ‘Who cares?’&lt;/span&gt; are more or less lame variations of the very same word. The context could be any – a high profile client is on a visit to your office and your boss suddenly asks you to fetch coffee ignoring the fact that you are the top programmer in the team; an important proposal needs to be sent out ASAP and you are the one selected to fax it; or the more frequent instance where you realize you are just doing a chore that was actually assigned to your boss by his and he has in turn delegated it to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many a time, you could get away with not doing it. You would even be justified in ignoring such requests because such tasks don’t actually enhance your CV and the incident is minor enough to be dismissed off, considering your other accomplishments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An alternate way of looking at such situations is to let all the impulsive questions rise to your mind and then flip each one of them: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;‘Why is it not my job?’, ‘Why shouldn’t I do it?’, ‘How can it not concern me?’, ‘Why shouldn’t I care?’&lt;/span&gt; It is perhaps one of the few instances where introducing the negatives makes one see the bigger picture because if you give the flipped questions a little thought, you suddenly perceive the importance of this seemingly minor task and its implications to your organization. In short, you are displacing yourself from the “centre of the universe” and placing your organization in that spot. And at the end of it all, you also feel good about having done the task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that you should grab the janitor’s mop first thing after reaching office tomorrow and replace him in the housekeeping department but the willingness to enable and expedite things, even when those tasks don’t directly figure in your list of responsibilities, is perhaps what differentiates a workplace go-getter from a show-stopper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="data:image/png;base64,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" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; z-index: 2147483647; left: 680px; top: 308px;" id="kosa-target-image" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-2670679525722559392?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/2670679525722559392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/2670679525722559392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2009/05/go-getter-or-show-stopper.html' title='Go-getter or show-stopper?'/><author><name>Hriday</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01616352743356729985</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4z2-OybADO4/Sr8pDoHwHhI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/smtSK0mxFi8/S220/Me+at+Ashlesh+11112222.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296188164107520926.post-2647741253567169447</id><published>2009-05-20T08:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-20T08:49:32.217-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free time'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spare bandwidth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog updates'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hriday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jobeehive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Announcements'/><title type='text'>You now know what to do in your ‘free’ time ;)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We got some good news for the cubiclers!

"...Not willing to sail with the ebbing tide, a ‘daring’ few are venturing out boldly — a move stamped foolish by many.

Further, these routes provide opportunities to victims of layoffs. “Victims of layoffs are hardly getting interview calls. They have lost the bargaining power. An HR director of a reputed IT company, who lost his job to the recession, used to make Rs 35 lakhs per annum. Today, he is getting offers of Rs 8-10 lakhs per year. Professionals are looking at other domains to make a living or to pursue their dreams.

Enter JobeeHive.com</title><content type='html'>India, Bangalore (Press Release) November 10 2008 - In these hard times of layoffs, pink slips and cost cutting across sectors, there still is one place that is teeming with rich career opportunities. JobeeHive.com (&lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/"&gt;www.jobeehive.com&lt;/a&gt;), a unique community platform for professionals, is a Web 2.0 start-up venture that enables professionals to research employers and salaries through user generated company reviews and salary reports. In the backdrop, JobeeHive is a platform to build your professional network and interact with diverse industry professionals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/"&gt;www.JobeeHive.com&lt;/a&gt; has a host of features that enables you to take a more informed decision about the next step in your career. On signing up, users are encouraged to anonymously fill in details about their current profile, organization, work culture, skill sets, salaries and many other important things that might help potential job aspirants. These reviews can be rated and commented upon by other users, thereby lending credibility to the reviews. The interested aspirant therefore gets a holistic, unbiased view from this informative mixture of reviews, comments and ratings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other interesting features include a candid mention of salaries across profiles and job grades in the various sectors, a feature hard to find in many of the established job portals. Registered users can also choose to follow the companies of their choice and a steady stream of all updates is then sent to them periodically on their JobeeHive homepage. And needless to say, one user may freely network with another and can exchange messages for staying connected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Founder Vishwas Mudagal foresees a positive growth curve for &lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/"&gt;www.JobeeHive.com&lt;/a&gt;. “We intend to target companies across the globe and make the platform friendly for employees in different countries across a wide span of sectors. Our immediate goal is to cover 10,000 companies across the globe and make it one of the biggest players in this new niche segment and steadily expand”, they aver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/"&gt;www.JobeeHive.com&lt;/a&gt; has already reviews and salaries of nearly 1000 companies across sectors. Traffic has been doubling every month, with users coming in mainly from India and USA. The site offers a plethora of choice backed by sound information that is crucial for the next move in your career – which is more important during the time of a recession. It is little wonder then that they confidently claim to answer the question, “Where do you wanna go next?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- End&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information contact:&lt;br /&gt;JobeeHive.com&lt;br /&gt;Phone: 91-80-41607968&lt;br /&gt;Email: contact[at]jobeehive[dot]com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-8131503861472716352?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/8131503861472716352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/8131503861472716352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2008/11/press-release-whos-afraid-of-pink-slips.html' title='Press Release: Who&apos;s afraid of the pink slips?

Any professional can anonymously write a review or report salary for current or a previous employer and get full access to all the reviews and salaries. Professionals can then create their profile on JobeeHive and invite contacts to build their professional network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We adopted this strategy to keep the data fresh and growing; this will in turn make information more accurate and useful on JobeeHive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviews are completely anonymous! We will only know that you have submitted a review, but never know which one. Neither will anybody. We do not even capture IP addresses. Hence, it is advised to create your profile on JobeeHive with real information. This will help you to take advantage of many other professional networking features.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as old times, JobeeHive will still be a great place to meet and interact with industry professionals. And here is good news for people who have friends or contacts on JobeeHive: If you get an invite from an existing JobeeHive user, you need not submit a review to sign up. Accept the invitation to have full access to salaries and reviews on JobeeHive!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out &lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/survey/explore"&gt;company reviews &amp;amp; ratings&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/survey/salary_explore"&gt;salaries&lt;/a&gt; on JobeeHive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy JobeeHiving!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/"&gt;The JobeeHive Team&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-4581934803408357999?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/4581934803408357999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/4581934803408357999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2008/09/write-review-to-signup-need-not-if-you.html' title='Write a review to signup.

Startup Lunch was an informal event meant to bring together  startups and professionals who are enthusiastic about working with a startup. The principle was roughly the same as the &lt;a class="external text" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_dating" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_dating" rel="nofollow"&gt;SpeedDating&lt;/a&gt;  concept. Founders spoke about their startups and candidates got a chance to interact with the startup teams. Interested folks could end up working together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JobeeHive was happy to be a part of the initiative, and we got a chance to network with some cool techies and dynamic entrepreneurs in Bangalore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pics below:&lt;br /&gt;Vishwas Mudagal, Co-Founder of JobeeHive makes a pitch (talks about JobeeHive) to the audience during the Startup Lunch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_55LB3lBNIjU/R_iBbgmcX8I/AAAAAAAAABY/6wo1Jcr2H2M/s1600-h/vishwas-at-startuplunch.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_55LB3lBNIjU/R_iBbgmcX8I/AAAAAAAAABY/6wo1Jcr2H2M/s400/vishwas-at-startuplunch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186037280524754882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_55LB3lBNIjU/R_h8MgmcX7I/AAAAAAAAABQ/pewj2-t5v38/s1600-h/sandeep-at-startuplunch.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_55LB3lBNIjU/R_h8MgmcX7I/AAAAAAAAABQ/pewj2-t5v38/s400/sandeep-at-startuplunch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186031525268578226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;More details at &lt;a href="http://startuplunch.proto.in/index.php?title=Startup_Lunch_Bangalore"&gt;Startup Lunch Bangalore updates&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/296188164107520926-7612361753940769843?l=blog.jobeehive.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/7612361753940769843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296188164107520926/posts/default/7612361753940769843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jobeehive.com/2008/04/jobeehive-at-startup-lunch-bangalore.html' title='JobeeHive at Startup Lunch, Bangalore'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10837420370504812171</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_55LB3lBNIjU/R_iBbgmcX8I/AAAAAAAAABY/6wo1Jcr2H2M/s72-c/vishwas-at-startuplunch.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296188164107520926.post-8580707219233940278</id><published>2008-02-23T23:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-23T23:10:29.439-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='updates'/><title type='text'>Updates for February</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The excitement doesn’t seem to stop at &lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com"&gt;JobeeHive&lt;/a&gt;.

Is the work challenging enough?’&lt;br /&gt;‘What is the business outlook of company Y? How is the leadership?’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout our professional careers we have heard questions like these popping up in many a discussion with colleagues, friends and family. We at JobeeHive pondered over this issue for a while and discussed ways to address it. We wanted JobeeHive to be a platform to answer all the above mentioned questions and more. Today, we are helping professionals take better career decisions. In short, we help them do their homework well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JobeeHive brings in unbiased insider information about a company’s work culture, salaries, hiring process and business aspects. This can only be told by employees, ex-employees or people who have interviewed with a particular company. The experiences told by employees is a great medium to understand a company; it would bring out the real picture and go beyond what is stated or proclaimed in a company’s website, financial reports or newspapers. It is equivalent to interacting with real people and discussing with employees to understand different aspects of an employer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we launched JobeeHive ALPHA version in September 2007, as a first step we created a feature called JobeeHive Employer Buzz. Employer Buzz is an opinion sheet filled out by employees, ex-employees or people who have been interviewed by a particular organization. You can call it a job review, company review, employer feedback, survey or an opportunity for employees to appraise their employers. Together with this, we added several interactive features to make information and opinions as transparent and useful as possible. The response has been tremendous; our users gave us a thumbs up and this has fueled our ambitions further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, while we are still in ALPHA phase, we have over 750 Employer Buzz giving us valuable insider information on various aspects of over 150 companies across India and USA. We are now a fast growing web 2.0 career information provider in India. In the near future, JobeeHive will add many tools to help professionals in career research and job search. Through our professional networking and other related tools, we will equip organizations to connect to valuable audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have made a few parts of JobeeHive public. You can voice your opinion on your company of choice through &lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/survey/wizard"&gt;Employer Buzz&lt;/a&gt;. Take a sneak peek at &lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/survey/explore"&gt;Employer Buzz listing&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.jobeehive.com/"&gt;Leave your email id&lt;/a&gt; and we will get back to you with your JobeeHive login soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Join JobeeHive!
