Not a typical job site


In this internet-dominated world, websites are like information hub, where people get the opportunity to acquire diverse knowledge to improve their lifestyle and at the same time modernise work strategy. Nowadays, many job sites are available on the internet to give out career information, provide interview tips and guidelines to job seekers.

In Bangladesh, a similar initiative has been taken up by aiminlife.com in a bid to promote internet-based career hunting trend in the country. Jamil Siddiqui, chief operating officer of aiminlife.com, describes their site as a career portal instead of a job site. He said very soon this site will be a virtual career centre where students will get relevant information on building up their career.

In this regard, aiminlife.com has expanded its affiliation to different academic institutions. Among them U21Global is worth mentioning. U21Global is a online education service which is backed by nineteen world-class universities, including the University of Glasgow, the University of Birmingham, the University of New South Wales and the University of Queensland. Programmes offered by U21Global are MBA, MSC Tourism & Travel Management, Master of Management in Information Technology, diploma courses and others.

aiminlife.com in association with U21Global will develop an e-learning scheme for local students. As a result, they will be able to easily earn global degrees at reasonable price from their own country. aiminlife.com also offers four types of membership-- platinum, golden, silver and corporate.

In the near future, aiminlife.com hopes to develop a sustainable relationship with local universities in order to provide quality service to their students. Ekram Hossain, vice-president of aiminlife.com, told StarTech that soon they will post part-time job and internship information on their website. Apart from these, they also plan to organise career seminars, workshops, training programmes and consultancy services for the students concerned.

Based on the hits, aiminlife.com is upgrading its position day by day and initiators of this portal anticipate more turnout in coming days. This portal also provides information on scholarship to different foreign universities.
