Now , can you predict what will be the newspaper
headlines , when it comes to the matter of " JOBS " , 2 / 3 / 5 years
from now ?
There are two methods , as follows :
* Reproduce the above headlines by simply
changing the year
( in the " date " ) to 2018 / 2019 / 2021
You will not be too far off !
* But if you
are a " Data Scientist " , you may want to borrow from me a database
of 2+ million job advertisements
compiled from leading job portals over the past 8 years ( and covering job
advertisements released by 50,000 + employers ) , and subject this data-set to
BIG DATA analytics , to predict :
# WHO (
which company ) , will advertise
# WHAT ( vacancy name ) , and
# WHEN ( almost , to a day ), for posting in
# WHICH ( city ) , and needing
# WHAT ( Skills / Edu Qualifications ) , offering
# HOW MUCH (
salary )
You will be doing a great service to not only the
Jobseekers but also to Policy Makers / Educationists / Economists / NITI Aayog
/ HR managers / Trade Associations / Industrialists etc
If , based on search-terms used by billions of surfers
every day , Google can accurately
predict an outbreak of flue in any part of the world , then , surely Indian
software geeks can predict jobs !
I am surprised why Naukri / MonsterIndia / TimesJobs etc are not publishing such job related analytics on their web sites in a dynamically changing fashion , given their enormous databases
They , have even captured , BILLIONS of search queries by :
* Jobseekers searching jobs , and
* Employers searching resumes
These portals are , literally , in possession of ( what John Battelle - author of book " Google " may have said ) , " Database of Intentions " !
