Need of the hour


We've grown so used to accepting mediocrity, that when something good is setting out, people just don't trust anything is possible any more.


The team back at base camp need a serious dose of energy to help us break through. Let me give you a look into the inside workings of Look Beyond Resumes to give you  an idea of the task we are facing. We can use all the help we can get!

Ok, so here goes.
- Redwood Associates is an independent start-up.
- Look Beyond Resumes has been developed by a terrific small core team that has collectively decided to risk it all for a better tomorrow.
-We have NO FUNDING, we're putting our own capital into this project.
-We have NO TIME for looking after our social lives, but our work itself is social. So it works out eventually.
-Our competitors are ginormous! Most people would turn a blind eye if they see the size of the mountain we're trying to scale. Facing muscle power of 400+ Crore doesn't quite give you a cushion to be anything less than absolutely awesome.
-We're all working incredibly overtime. We're stretching ourselves to the limit on a daily basis.
-Family getting anxious about the lack of time we have for anything but our work. This gets pretty demanding at times, and really makes one question their resolve.

I'm sure you can all relate to that. We all dream of a better tomorrow, but how often do we act? It's taken a whole lot of energy to get this far and will take a whole lot more before we can relax a bit.

So here's how you can help.
1. We know we don't have enough jobs out there to give to every one of you.
2. What we do know however is: Where there are enough number of people, the jobs will automatically come. So the fastest way to get a whole lot of jobs in, is if a whole lot people come here and demand for them!
3. Use Look Beyond Resumes as a long term journey, not a one time fill and forget stop. The more time you spend thinking of a better career, the higher your chances of being able to do anything about it. This has another benefit. In a short while, your profile will come alive and start truly reflecting the insides of who you are and wish to be in the workplace. This doesn't happen overnight, but with a slow constant process. You are far too complex to reduce to a 15 minute survey. Agree?
4. That's it! You use our services regularly, invite your friends over, and soon enough we'll have enough of you, that the people with the jobs can't ignore your wishes too much longer.

If this makes sense to you, then log in right away! Thanks a million guys.
