Rahul  /  Saurabh  /  Pranav  /  Vikram  /  Rajeev  :

This is low priority

This is further to my yesterday's note ......The nth richest man  (  Salary  Profile  /  V  1.0  )

-  which , of course , is " high priority " for launch , immediately after launch of IndiaRecruiter ( Jobseeker side )

I felt that while displaying a jobseeker's " Salary Profile " graph ( in ImageBuilder ) , we need to add the following elements :

#   Race  /  Competition

Sport races are  perfect  examples where each and every participant has one / single - minded goal , viz :

-- to overtake all others and come out FIRST

No person without this instinct would ever enter this race

Career-race is no different . In shortest possible time , every executive wants to overtake his Competitors ( co-professionals ) , both in salary and in designation ( hierarchy )

While depicting / drawing SALARY PROFILE graph , we must exploit this element

We must bring it out in an Explicit / Vivid manner

#   Stagnation  /  Frustration

This is a very common feeling / sentiment among thousands of executives , who feel stagnated / stuck-in-the-rut ( groove )

They feel their salaries are growing very slowly or that they are stuck at the same level / position for a very long time

Such a feeling / sentiment is at a subconscious level and rarely shared with others in an open / diagnostic manner

When an executive sees his own SALARY PROFILE in ImageBuilder , I want him to ask ( himself , of course ! ) :

"   Where am I ?    What am I doing here ?   I don't seem to be going anywhere !

    Rest of the world ( read , " co-professionals " ), are passing me by - moving ahead  "

How can we generate these EMOTIONS in an executive, when he sees his " salary profile " ?

See attached  illustration

There will be only one box for Salary Profile ( in ImageBuilder ) , as compared with 3 boxes for Function Profile

This box will stretch across the entire width of ImageBuilder

Inside this box , will be the Salary Profile graph for his " Function "

But with following animation :

First to appear will be a graph for " MID LEVEL " ( in one colour )

After a few seconds , it will disappear and get replaced by a graph for " MANAGER LEVEL " ( another color )

After staying visible for a few seconds, that too will disappear and get replaced by a graph for ,

"  SENIOR  MANAGEMENT  LEVEL " ( third colour )

Obviously , all 3 graphs will be for executives belonging to SAME " function "

I have purposely avoided " levels " of :

*  Top Management

*  Entry Level

The entire cycle will keep repeating

This sequential " fading in " and " fading out " of graphs in different colours , will give an impression of ,

MOTION  /  MOVEMENT,

from left to right ( forward march ).

So , it will resemble a " Race " in which , " Sub populations " of executives are pressing / pushing forward ( to the right ) , towards higher salaries !

It is like a relentless WAVE - following another - WAVE  !

One can even add the figure of a surfer riding each wave ! - and trying to stay ahead of each oncoming wave !

Through this , we have achieved / captured the sentiments of.......RACE

Now , let us suppose our executive ( Mr A J Patel ) is,

*  at " Manager " level ,  and

*  drawing Rs 7 lakh / year

So , at that salary point on X axis , we show a vertical pole , on which a galloping horse , just keeps moving up & down the pole  !

Stuck  !  No horizontal movement  !

I am sure you have seen such wooden horses in small " merry go round " devices on Juhu beach

Small children love this ride . They get a feeling of horse-riding / galloping

But ,

no child is actually " Overtaking " any other child ( - despite galloping ! )

Because all children on all the horses are moving forward at the SAME speed ( keeping same distance between them )

Whole population is moving forward , but the relative positions remain the SAME

This is fine with children but not with grown-ups  !

Could there be any fun , if , in a race , all players,

>   are  " spaced " in advance......and then ,

>   run at the SAME speed  ?

That would be terribly boring !

Through a horse riding a pole , up and down , we want the Executive to read :

>   I am  here

as

>  I am stuck here  !

We have succeeded in capturing the sentiment of...........STAGNATION  /  FRUSTRATION

We have succeeded in getting Mr Patel to identify himself with the horse  !

NOTE :

*  Graphs should not fade away completely . When one is fully bright / sharp / dark , other two should be very light and slightly visible

*  Irrespective of the " Phase : , if the executive tries to " download " or " Email 

" , the appropriate / relevant graph and the horse , must get printed / shown in BRIGHT
