subject: Tweak Your Profile To Get The Perfect Job [print this page] Most online job search portals have a registration system. After a job seeker registers with the online company, he/she will start getting email alerts about matching jobs or emails about the latest jobs in the market. Most of these services revolve around the fact that you have already fed in all your information (education, experience, location preference, industry, extra skills, salary expectations etc.), So when a matching job comes up, they should ideally alert you. For e.g. if you are a dentist and looking out for a job at Mumbai Hospitals, they will alert you if there is a new opening posted in your desired location at desired levels!
But many a times, job seekers have complained that really far fetched jobs have come to their Inbox from these web portals stating it is the "best matched job". The entire process of matching jobs with the resume is a "programming" process. So it totally depends on what information have you fed in. Certain keywords get picked up and messes do happen. Thus, here are some ways in which you can sure that your information is correct and punctuated with the right keywords:
Most of the online job search portals will have a "location" section. Please do not forget to enter your preferred locations/location restrictions in this. Be clear about it because based on geographical preferences, best matched jobs are shortlisted. If you put "anywhere" in this section, the chances are the email alerts can be of any place in India - which you may/may not want
There is another column for designation. Do not be shy to put exactly what it is because this is another key indicator for your title preference and the department preference
Salary expectation is another column which people usually tend to leave blank! Do not feel shy or threatened. Honestly and realistically put down a figure so that jobs which are really suitable for your profile come your way. If you have expectations of INR 10 lacs but leave the column blank, the best matched job can be an INR 2 lacs also!
Do not rely on the web portal to pick up relevant fields from your uploaded resume! Take some effort to do it yourself because what is there in these fields will determine what kind of job alerts are sent to you
Make sure there is no ambiguity in any of the fields or no field has been left blank. All these factors will go a long way in determining whether or not you actually get a perfectly matched job alert. If you want to make this process smooth yet accurate, log on to http://careerprospect.net and create your job seeker profile.
