Let us start by saying what Guru Shishyaa is not about. It is not like the old Guru Shishyaa way of learning and acquiring knowledge where there is one Guru who is the embodiment of all knowledge in the world and the Shishyaas learn by serving the Guru. Our Guru Shishyaa is about knowledge sharing where everybody is a Guru and at the same time everybody is a Shishyaa too. Why the name Guru Shishyaa? Guru Shishyaa is like a pen name (”punai peyar”) for all the folks who contribute to this bog and other parts of ChennaiJobSite.com. It also helps that one of superstar’s (you know who we are talking about, right?) a movie has got a similar name

All of us would have come across this star guy/girl who stands out in a group of friends as the person who somehow seems to know where exactly the job opportunities are and the right things to do to get that job. May be you are the star in your group! In which case, you need to read this even more carefully! The idea behind Guru Shisyaa is to bring the knowledge of all these stars together and combine it with advice from professional recruiters and employers and present it in a nice and simple way to the community of Chennai and its job seekers.
