Call center’s have been very famous and most of us has run into a call center either with your post paid calling card or a service that’s not working. These are set by the companies to resolve issues of the customers. Here is a something new for us. TeamLease has started up call center which helps you find a job. Yes you heard that right. You dial a number, tell them what your qualifications, age and skills are. They will do the rest for you. This is best suited for people who have vocational skills and has completed minimum educational requirements. Other companies who have started this service are Dial@Job and DailaJobin.com Pvt Ltd (for web savvy. number to call 6999-6999).

Job search through web, walk-ins (by reading the papers) and referrals are the most common ways to search a job. There is one thing common to the three methods above. Reach. Web is not easily available and it has a learning curve, referrals are not easy to come by for the rural youth and walk-ins might not be available on the day you have read the newspaper. There is only one media which can reach the unemployed. That is the phone.

It could be your regular PCO(these are fast becoming extinct) or your mobile phone which is so ubiquitous. Pick up the phone and call me, that’s what the company says. This method is for unemployed who live rurally.

For a country like India innovations like these will help a lot. Urban India has already arrived. It is the time for the rural India to get onboard. Mobile (oops phone) is the medium for that.
