Hello all,

In the last few months, I have seen many people posting status and updates on Twitter, Reddit and LinkedIn about their job search struggle.

I have been thinking very hard on how I can possibly help them find a job. At the same time I have been using Linkedin, hacker news, producthunt and indiehackers a lot.

So I thought of building a platform which combines hacker news and producthunt like voting system but for job seekers for endorsing them to find a job.

My mission is to help 3000+ people find a job by 2020.

Here's the link. https://www.jobroz.com. If enough people (around 1000) are interested, I will launch the full version of the website.

I am sure there must be few startups which will take a long time to scale to emerging markets and probably someone interested can have a shot at it by blatantly copying it.

I am interested in Ycombinator Startups launched in last 2-3 years.

Recently I came across a marketing framework term called as KLTE which means Know, Like Trust & Engage.

1: Know - Things you do for people to know you

2: Like - Things you should do for people to like you

3: Trust - Things you should do for people to trust you

4: Engage - Things you should do for people to stay with you

I think this framework is pretty useful for all internet startups and especially SaaS startups. I am preparing an exhaustive list of all channels. Would appreciate if you people can join in making this a wonderful resource.

I have suffered a loss of $10k due to an extremely unbelievable case of my client's as well as my own email domain was hacked.

–----

So, I run a very small pharma export company in India. I have a client in Ontario, Canada with whom I have been doing regular business.

2 weeks ago I got an order worth $10000 from them. So as usual I dispatched the material to them and then raised the invoice with my bank details from my email address called "abcde@mydomain .com".

Now on the next day my client received an email from "abicde@mydomain.com" stating that there is a change in invoice and revised invoice is again sent which had bank account details of a UK bank account.

Now an email like "abicde@mydomain.com" doesn't exist at all.

My client asked me for a confirmation email again but this email never reached me. So the client made the payment and the money is already deducted from his account.

Also, what makes this even more strange is that I received a fake email from my client's company with 3-4 times about not asking for payment as it will be delayed.

I got this email from an email address like "klye@clientdomain.com" instead of "kyle@clientdomain.com".

Now $10000 in an extremely huge amount for survival of my company. I want to know what are my options and is there any way of recovering it.

I am exploring an idea of a job portal where video resume would be a key aspect. Before I plunge into the development side of it, I want to know in general on how comfortable people are with a video resume.

I have two specific questions.

1: As a potential job seeker, are you comfortable creating a video resume and will you create one? 2: As a potential recruiter, will you prefer receiving a video resume along with a text resume?

I saw that many people submit their profile for getting jobs on the "who wants to be hired" section of Hacker News.

Unfortunately searching a profile in that section is very difficult. So I am building a completely new website for people to submit their profile for a Job search.
