Popular blogger and editor of JAM Mag - Rashmi Bansal launches JobOkPlease.com

February 22, 2007 · Posted in Default, Entrepreneurship, Tech tidbit 

Rashmi Bansal, author of the popular blog Youth Curry and editor of JAM Magazine has launched a job portal called JobOkPlease. As per Rashmi, JobOkPlease aims to target an underserved niche category:

A job site whose USP is opportunities for students and fresh graduates.

True, there are many job sites in the market - and they do a great job. But if you are a young person looking for a part-time/ freelance or summer job, these sites don’t necessarily serve your needs.

With the popularity of JAM Magazine, I’m pretty sure they wont have any problems in marketing and content generation. And considering the market that JAM Magazine currently serves (youth), I think such a job portal would be a perfect extension for them. However, portals targetting part-time, freelancing jobs often tend to get cloaked with the spurious looking ‘Mystery Shoppers Wanted’ variety. I already noticed several such listings on the site.

Such a portal would be a strategic, sensible buy for big players such as Naukri, Monster India etc. My gut feeling tells me that the portal will get bought in an year or so - assuming the hit the right nerve with the target audience.
I wish Rashmi and the JAM Mag team all the best in their new endeavor.

    Hey, thanks for mentioning Jobokplease on this site. Just a small clarification. ‘Mystery shopping’ is a genuine job from a genuine company. It’s a form of market research where folks are employed to visit shops, hotels and restaurants anonymously and rate the service quality/ salesmen/ hygiene etc. You can read about it here: http://www.jammag.com/careers/n/showart.php?art_id=63 (an article on mystery shopping published in JAM some time ago!)

    Hi Rashmi,

    Its just that ‘mystery shopping’ has been so much abused by companies in the US, promising big bucks, free merchandise,designer wear and what not - that the term has pretty much acquired a negative image in my perception.

    Good luck with JobOkPlease !!

    Yes, mystery shopping is a legitimate way to make money. However, it may be difficult for people to make a living at it. It’s a great part-time job though! The following article discusses the legitimacy of it: http://www.become-a-secret-shopper.com/is-mystery-shopping-legitimate.html

    Hey.
    I don’t know of any mystery shopper companies in India, but if I do, I will post them here. I currently am a mystery shopper in Canada. It’s not going to make you rich, but its a good part time job for me as I am a student. I now have a website(http://secret-shopper-review.com) to share some of my tips and advice from my mystery shopping career. I just posted an article on the site with some stats about mystery shopping. It’s a whopping 800 Million Dollar industry in the US!
