At a press conference in Bangalore [
India ] yesterday, Ms Revathi Muthanna, Business Development Manager, HP
Labs-India, announced the the launch of their widget,
“ Jobs for All “
Explaining “ Jobs for All “, she
said :
Ø
This
is a free app for Android based smart phones
Ø
It
can be downloaded by entering in mobile browser ………………….
Ø
If
a jobseeker is registered on CustomizeResume, he will get to view job alerts,
by entering his mobile number in the widget
Ø
He
can apply against any of these job alerts, simply by touching the APPLY button
Ø
“
Jobs for All “ eliminates the need for a PC / broadband connection. In fact, it
“ obsoletes “ job searches on job portals !
Ø
Since
hundreds of jobseekers can “ Apply “ against their respective job alerts from a
single device, “ Jobs for All “ widget, converts a smart phone into a ,
Mobile
Internet Kiosk
Ø
There
are millions of jobseekers in remote corners of India, where there is no internet
penetration. Such a mobile kiosk will provide to such rural jobseekers, a
level-playing field in the job market and bridge the “ Digital Divide “ with
their city cousins.
Ø
Before
long, HP Labs – India,
expects to release similar widget based on Apple O/S
Ø
It
is also expected that many Indian smart phone manufacturers will pre-install “
Jobs for All “ widget before shipping to dealers, giving them competitive
advantage to gain market share
