Bangkok--6 Mar--Jobcenter The Jobcenter website (www.jobcenter.co.th) highlights its Multimedia Resume Technology; it provides a blank space for pasting the job applicant’s photo as well as its collective online video jigsaw for interconnecting between the job owner and the applicant. It’s the fastest system suits with the current digital epoch. The newborn Jobcenter website highlights an efficient form of job application with Multimedia Resume (MMR) Technology. At present, over 3,000 job seekers directly take the Jobcenter website as their information center in dealing with companies with vacant positions. This is an alternative for ones who look for jobs as it is the most convenient, time-saving and effective shortcut for both the job owners and the applicants. It is expected that within 3 to 5 years from now the online job application will increasingly play important role in both government and private sectors. Miss Onsuda Puangsombut, Maketing Executive of Jobcenter and E-Commerce Co., Ltd., revealed: “Our company has realized the growth of online job application in Thailand as it is a very interesting classified ads website good for developing firms. The Jobcenter website provides its incomparable spectacle and it is a unique business that provides diversity while some of its competitors promotes only on their technologies and some on the types of work. Although this newborn website was just launched by the end of last year (2007) but it has compiled more than 3,000 job applicants and more than 2,000 associated companies with over 10,000 vacant positions. The most attractive point of the website is its Multimedia Resume (MMR) Technology which comprises a blank space for the applicant’s photo and his/her few-minute-long video clip answering six standard questions as well as the video clip showing his/her references of experience/expertise or the slideshow with audio file (PowerPoint presentation). We have invested multimillion baht in server, network, information back up, software, firewall and database systems, excluding the leased line system and specific technical personnel/experts. The website functions as an information hub for both the job owners and the applicants. Its outstanding advantage is that it can lessen difficulties and provide facility rather than the walking-in system i.e. a job owner can enter the website and check the applicants’ resumes and qualifications matching with its requirements, then select interviewing only the eligible ones. In case the applicants take the walking-in system for job application their qualifications may not meet the job owner’s requirements and that’s a waste of time. Saving the applicant’s resume on Jobcenter website therefore guarantees rapidity and information matching with job description. We visualize the current IT business as an opportunity and facility maker. It saves time for both the job owners and the job applicants, especially the information hub of the website. It’s no need to search for classified ads of each job owner like what we did before. Thus, the Jobcenter website is just like the applicant’s assistant.” Miss Onsuda added: “It’s so easy for an applicant to save his/her resume on the Jobcenter website. He/she only follows the instruction given on the webpage and his/her MMR making can be done online or making it at our company. With the latter way the applicant will get a USB flash drive as a compliment from our company.” She looked forward that the trend of professional website within 3-5 years from now would turn to online application for both government and private sectors. In such case, the state-owned database might provide information to private enterprise subscribers because everything was already arranged for online use but no information sharing for common utility of all parties so far. She hoped that this business would be more widely opened as it would be the usefulness in various ways and to all parties, especially the job applicants.” “Online business in developed countries is much more advanced than that of Thailand. We must learn their disadvantages and improvements in order to apply them more efficiently. One of our constraints is the location of job availability i.e. most Thai applicants prefer local websites”, she came to a pondering end. “However, the initial marketing and public relations plan of Jobcenter website is aimed at the publicizing via mass media: websites, newspapers and road shows at job fairs.” For more information, please contact: Miss Mutjatika Komethong, our public relations personnel Tel. 08-6376-5517
