When I had started to blog for the sake of students, I never thought the act will be so engrossing – so time consuming but yet so satisfying. I never thought that Career Quips will grow-up to be a million page hit per month blog someday.
Yes, just today, Career Quips crossed the important milestone of 10,00,000 page hits in last 30 days. And I have to thank you all for continuing to patronize the blog through your visits and helpful comments.
How did this blog started?
I am associated with a forum called NEPIF (North East Professional Institutes Forum), constituted by technical/ management and other top-notch institutes of North East India. Through the forum, we organize recruitment event for topmost companies in India for these institutes.
When the first recruitment event was organized on 5th/6th February 2007 for ICICI Bank, the students appearing in the event asked me what is a “Psychometric Test” as it happens to be one of the ICICI selection process. To help them, I prepared a small booklet on Psychometric Test which they found useful. I thought than; why not post the material in a website, since this will be required by future students again?
As I continued to think seriously on posting the materials on a website, I felt that a fresher needs some more hand-holding. So I listed out what are the things a fresher need for venturing in the job market and made small articles on the same. Than I thought, a fresher needs not only grooming for job market but also information on job ads from time to time, so that he can apply and appear in the selection process.
It than occurred to me that a blog would be much more useful than a website, as I have to update the contents frequently. That is how this blog- Career Quips was born!
You can find the “Psychometric Test” material which I had posted for the NEPIF students in the “Freshers Job Tools” section at left top part of this blog. In the same section, you will be able to find the other articles which was posted for freshers. On the other hand you can find the info about important job openings/exams in the section “Last Ten articles” at right middle part of the blog, which I keep updating from time to time.
How have I marketed this blog?
It may surprise you, but let me tell you the truth – I have never advertised anywhere about this blog, other than two/three odd mails which I had sent to a few mailing list in which I am a part of. I have not spend a single paisa marketing it. Yet, the visitors keep coming because of word of mouth and also yes, thanks to Google – close to 90% of visit is through Google search!
Who am I?
I am B. Tech. in Civil Engineering, now working as a mid-level manager in a Fortune-500 company in India. I have a wonderful wife and a naughty kid of three, picture of whom you can find below.
What next?
I would just keep blogging… but this will require your continued patronage through your valuable visits. Therefore kindly keep visiting this blog and mention about it to whom you think would find it useful!
In the days to come, I look forward for your feedbacks/comments, some of which lights up my day as shown through few examples below.
Thank you again!
