Best Job Sites in India

Here in this post I will try to cover three websites from India, North East India and Assam that provide job vacancies freely to its user. The ranking is based on my personal experience with the sites.

Jobs in India

1) Indian Employment News (http://www.iemploymentnews.com/): The site with Alexa Traffic Rank 983,796 created on 26^th February, 2012. It’s amazing to see its growth. The site generally posts five job vacancies in a day. One of the best features of the website is its geographically and categorically listing of job vacancies and arrangement of the job vacancies in the reverse chronological order of last date of application for easy browsing. Highly recommended for you.

2) Sarkari Naukri Blog (http://sarkarinaukriblog.com/): This is India’s most popular job site with Alexa Traffic Rank 9,918. This site was created on 21^st October, 2009 and perhaps the oldest job site in India (excluding jobs sites run by corporate agencies). It generally posts five job vacancies in a day. The site’s architecture is somewhat puzzling with ads. Recommended for you.

3) Employment News (http://www.employmentnews.gov.in/): This website is created on 27^th April 2005 and Alexa Traffic Rank is: 28,375. The site usually posts three job vacancies in a day. The website does not provide much content to the free users. Not recommended for you.

Jobs in North East India:
In this category I don’t found any site that can be “Highly Recommended for You”. If I miss something kindly let me know.

1) Sakori.org (http://www.sakori.org): The site with Alexa Traffic Rank 268,881 created on 15^th March, 2010. Though it targets to post job vacancies from all over North East India, but in reality most of the posting is from Assam. Generally it posts four job vacancies in a day. Recommended for you.

2) ACS Naukri (http://www.acsnaukri.com/): This website created on 3^rd January, 2011 and Alexa Traffic Rank is 17,294,733. The site generally posts 1 job vacancy in a day.

How to Know When Your Friends or Family Members are in News

Want to know when any of your friends, family members and business contacts are quoted in newspapers or get mentioned on one of the popular blogs?

You are probably aware of a tool called Google Alerts that will send an update as soon as Google discovers a news story or blog post that mentions your friend. You just have to create an “as-it-happens” email alert with your friend’s name and Google will help you keep a tab on him or her.

That’s one of the ways but wouldn’t it be nice if you could setup this kind of news monitoring for a bigger group of people – like your entire friends list?

When your Friends Make News

Meet newsly, an online tool that will automatically discover news articles and blogs that mention any of your friends. It gets you friends list from Facebook and LinkedIn and lets you know when they’re mentioned in news article or blog posts.

Newsly create a Pinterest style grid with all the mentions but you can also choose to receive alerts by email similar to Google Alerts.

Other than friends and professional contacts, you may also use the tool to follow news articles mentioning politicians, celebrities or your favorite people from the technology world. That said, if you friend shares a popular name, be prepared to see tons of useless news articles in your feed.

While we are on this topic, also check out a similar service called uFollow.com.  While Google Alerts and Newsly are good at finding mentions of a person in news articles, uFollow helps you find news articles that are written by a particular person. This is a good tool for tracking stories written by your favorite journalists and bloggers.
