Talentify Rural Employment Initiative

We are pleased to announce that as part of Talentify Rural Employment Initiative we have now started taking online requests for Free Resume Editing. Until now, Talentify has operated in pockets of Karnataka State helping rural undergraduates secure better employment opportunities. Taking a step forward, we want to reach the rural youth across India. We understand that Internet may not be an ideal medium to help rural undergraduates, but we hope that recent Internet penetration in India will change the scenario for the better.

Recently we have garnered more support from the tech community in Bangalore. Volunteers have been trained to review and edit resumes for rural undergraduates. In the coming months, we will also extend Career Guidance through an online platform, which we are currently working on.

This service is extended to only those students, undergraduates and graduates who are from a rural background. To be more precise, to avail this facility you will have to be a current or previous student of an institute based in rural/ semi-rural India. Please do not send in your resumes if you do not meet this criteria.

Rural students and graduates can mail in their resume at: talentify[at]gmail[dot]com with subject: rural employment. As this is a free service made possible by volunteers, please be patient while we respond to your request.

Volunteers who want to help in this noble endeavor can mail us at: talentify[at]gmail[dot]com with subject: volunteer.

Our Dream: 100% literacy and employment in rural India.
Let us work to make this collective dream a reality.
