A Rare Event ? A Black Swan ?

It is not rare for a website to turn-up on the first page of Google, for a given search-term.

Or, even on the first pages of Google / Yahoo / Bing ( for the same search-term, of course ), - although this is less likely.

But how “ probable “ is it

Ø   for the same website

Ø   to turn-up in the same place ( rank ) on the very first pages

Ø   of Google / Yahoo / Bing

Ø   for the same, long and very generic search-term

Type Recruitment Process Flow Chart/ flowchart ( without commas ) in all 3 search engines – then look-up position # 3.

Is that a “ probability “ of   1 /  [ 151,000*550,000*350,000 ] ?

Witness a rare event ! A Black Swan on winter equinox day ?

A BLACK SWAN?

Author Nassim Taleb, in his book, “ Black Swan “, describes a black swan as an extremely rare event but still possible.

Search engines

RETIRE EARLY? NO WAY!

15 Jan 2011

RETIRE EARLY? NO WAY!

That is what Indians seem to be saying.

French insurer Axa Life Insurance asked workers in many countries, what should be the ideal retirement age. Here are some answers:

·         India  ……………61 years (from current 58 years)

·         Hong Kong/Indonesia … 55  years

·         China  ………………………  54  years

Apparently, residents of Hong Kong seem to be most assured about their post-retirement income, with 55 % of them availing of early retirement and a mere 17 % working till normal retirement age!

Compare this with 70 % of the Indians, who continue to work till their normal retirement age.

And that applies to only 10 % of the 460 million Indians who work in the “organized sector“.

Balance 90 % of Indian workers don’t even know the concept of “retirement “! Happily or unhappily, they start working as a 5 year old child and continue till grave!

CAKEWALK FOR JOBSEEKERS?

Here are some interesting findings from a Nielsen India Study conducted in Dec.2010 (Times of India/Jan 12, 2011):

 Of the 626 Indian male executives surveyed,

·        85 % believe clean-shaven men get to attend meetings and   travel out of the office

·        86 % felt, when it comes to promotion, clean-shaven men have upper hand

·        73 % said women like to accompany clean-shaven men to party

  

Of the 414 women bosses surveyed,

·        90 % preferred clean-shaven men

·        79 % felt clean-shaven men have successful careers

·        66 % believe getting a job is a cakewalk for clean-shaven men

·        66 % prefer taking a clean-shaven man to meet her parents

At least in India, bearded men seem to face a bleak future!

Blessed are the clean-shaven for they shall inherit the earth!

OUTSOURCE TO INDIA, SAVE UK’S NHS

6 Jan 2011

“OUTSOURCE TO INDIA, SAVE UK’S NHS“

This is the title DNA newspaper (Jan 05 2011) gave to a PTI report from London.

According to this report, John Neilson, the Managing Director of Britain’s National Health Services (NHS), said millions of pounds could be saved by outsourcing more NHS administration to India.

NHS is responsible for leading healthcare efficiency reforms in the UK.

As pressure on NHS budgets intensifies, Neilson suggested that the alternative is cuts to services.

Or is he advocating more of “Medical Tourism “?

For the world as a whole, it seems the only option is to evenly distribute “joblessness“ across national borders.
