NEW DELHI, January 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Validate and Certify Your Profile With the new Profile Endorsements Feature on TimesJobs.com That Enhances and Updates Your Profile With LinkedIn Data and Facebook References What do Scott Thompson of Yahoo, David Edmonson of Radio Shack, Rob Kalin of Etsy, Marilee Jones of MIT, Ronald Zarrella of Bausch & Lomb, Jeff Papows of Lotus Corp., have in common? They are high profile professionals who "creatively enhanced" their resumes over the years - and then paid a dreadful price. The most well-known fall from grace due to resume fraud last year was Scott Thompson, Yahoo's ex-CEO. The former president of PayPal graduated from Stonehill College in Massachusetts with a degree in accounting - but he also claimed he had a degree in computer science. Turns out the college didn't offer that degree until several years after Thompson claimed he earned his! Nowadays, with a competitive job market and fewer jobs, recruiters are taking extra precautions against resume fraud, and this is where a validated profile gives the jobseeker that extra edge in clinching that interview call. Why seek endorsement? Endorsements add credibility to the candidate's profile, and research has shown that 86% recruiters prefer endorsed profiles over non-endorsed profiles. Here is the feedback receieved from recruiters: A Connected Profile is an Active Profile - The jobseeker is seen as having an active interest in his career An Updated Profile is a Useful Profile - As LinkedIn information is systematically updated to the profile it helps the jobseeker maintain freshness and recency. A Verified Profile is a Valid Profile - When qualifications, and work experiences are verified by classmates, peers, colleagues and bosses - it ensures the reputation of the candidate "Vetting a candidate thoroughly is costly and time consuming, but it is worthwhile for the long-term health of the organization. TimesJobs.com profile endorsements provides significant reliability and value to resumes," explains Avnish Anand, Product Head of TimesJobs.com. So, use the power of your social connections in getting a job of your choice. Get your profile endorsed today! Watch this video to understand the endorsement process. It's easy and very quick. - http://blog.timesjobs.com/screen/endorsement.htm

Bromium, where the old Xen team now lives, says it’s made it 105 harder for hackers to compromise a PC.
CTO Simon Crosby says that means the bad guys would have to shoot an arrow through an apple on a kid’s head at the distance of 100,000 miles to penetrate a PC endpoint and that, in...
I have to say, this was a refreshingly easy to read book. It focuses on the business of search, and not just the technology, which is refreshing. And I say this when I am a technologist first and all other things later.

Metacloud plays hardball.
It has no patience with pilots or proofs-of-concept. It’ll only do production Infrastructure-as-a-Service installations, which is kind of uppity for a start-up that only hit the radar last October – even if it did come out of the closet with an unidentified ...
Red Hat made its power play Wednesday. One it’s been itching to make for a couple of years. One that it hopes will ultimately jam a stick through the spokes of VMware’s front wheel. And to make sure that happens it’ll be telling everybody who’ll listen that its widgetry is a third the ...
