FAQs - Search and Apply to Jobs

  • How do I search for suitable jobs at PlacementIndia.com?

    You can search for the job openings posted at PlacementIndia.com by clicking the "Search Jobs" option from Home Page. Subsequently, you'll be taken to a page where you'll be prompted to select a job category. Thereafter, you'll be shown all the jobs available under that category to choose from. To ensure better results, you can specify the keywords, which denote the sub-categories under a category.
    For instance, Computers/IT category can further have several sub-categories like development, designing, project management, and so on. You can search jobs on the basis of location, nature of job, viz.- Full-Time or Part-Time, skills you have and so on.

    Apart from this, you can also visit out Featured Jobs section to have a look and apply to the job openings posted by premium Employers of our website.

    In case, you remember some job number against which you want to forward your resume, then you can also Search by Job Number at PlacementIndia.com.

  • Is resume posting must, to apply for a job opening at PlacementIndia.com?

    Yes, before applying to a job opening in a specific category at PlacementIndia.com, you must have your resume posted in that category.

  • How can I apply for a job at your site?

    Just follow these simple steps:
    • After conducting "Job Search" and finding a job of your interest, all you need to do is to fill the "Response Form for Job Seeker", provided just below the detailed job, wherein you'll be required to enter your E-mail ID and Password with which you have registered at PlacementIndia.com.
    • You can also write a cover letter to be sent with your resume to the Employer.
    • Thereafter, click on the "Apply for the Job" button given at the bottom of the page.
    • After authentication, you will be taken to a page wherein you need to select the resume which you want to forward against that job (in case more than one resume has been posted by you), and
    • Click on "Forward My Resume" button, your complete resume details along with the cover letter (if written) will be mailed to the Employer/Recruiter.

  • Is it must, to write a cover letter before sending job application? What is its significance?

    No, we don't put any obligation on the job-seeker regarding the cover letter. Sending a cover letter with your resume is all a matter of your choice. However, a cover letter essentially helps you build sort of a rapport with the employer. Accompanying it your resume fills the bill of a knock at the door before entering in, or an introduction yourself before you speak to a stranger. No matter how competent and effective resume you have written, it will sound a casual attempt on your part to address the employer if unaccompanied by a cover letter. And since formality is the buzzword in interviews, so it makes sense to go along the lines of the proper decorum and let your intention be known to send your resume to the interviewer.

  • Can I keep track of the jobs applied by me till date, as well as the responses from Employer's side against my job application?

    Yes. You can login to your folder and use the "Status for Applied Jobs" link under "Tasks to Perform" section to get a brief about the jobs applied by you at PlacementIndia.com till date as well as can also check out the replies from the Employers/Recruiters against your job applications.

  • Can I shortlist suitable jobs in a separate section while conducting jobs search and apply to them later?

    Yes, you can. While conducting job search, if you come across certain jobs of your interest then you can either apply them directly from there itself by filling the "Response form for Job Seekers" or you can shortlist these jobs and save them temporarily in a separate section. After filtering out the appropriate jobs, you can login to your folder and use the "View Shortlisted Jobs" link under "Tasks to Perform" section to apply to these shortlisted jobs.

  • Can I apply to the same job, multiple times with different resumes?

    No, you can apply to a job opening ONLY ONCE and that too with a single resume (which you can decide while forwarding your resume against the job).

    This is avoid any inconvenience at the Employer's side, who may get a little confused on seeing multiple resumes or same resume multiple times from the same job seeker.

  • How long does it take to get a response from the recruiter?

    We merely act as a mediator between you and the recruiter and thus we can't urge them for speedy responses, or even to respond to your application for the job. Further, the promptness of the response may depend on the recruiter itself or sometimes on your resume/qualifications.

  • I haven't got any response against my job application. Is there any way to contact the Employer again?

    • Since we don't allow you to forward your resume again for the same job, so all you can do is to wait for the response from Employer's end.

    • May the Employer has not found your resume compatible with the job requirements and would have not felt like getting in touch with you.

    • Sometimes, the Employers shortlist the job seekers only after getting an ample of applications and so there occurs some delay from their side also.

    • You must also check out the space available in your mail box. If your mailbox quota is full then the mails from the Employer's side will be bounced back and you may loose a good job offer.

    • Alternatively, keep checking the "Status for Applied Jobs" section in your folder from time to time, to know about the reply from Employer's side.

  • What is the significance of furnishing Email ID?

    Based on the particulars you post while registering, we find out the jobs matching the criteria(s) specified by you and mail you all such jobs as "Job Alerts".
