Guys, hardly find time to update about Collegespeaks these days. We have working with heads deep down on some new features and improving some existing ones.
We had launched the Q&A section sometime in the end of March and haven’t updated that either. A new section brings in a lot of new additional tasks to top the existing ones. The Q&A has been doing well with a good number of questions already on their way..though we sometimes find it difficult to respond to them in time.
With the Q&A section, we have also brought in a platform where career counselors could also set up a profile for themselves and answer our users’ queries. This gives them some projection, helps our users as they get a timely response and also takes off some tasks off our shoulders.
So here we are with the Q&A section (although a month now) to help you with all your silly and wild queries about career and education..
Keep them coming..
Cheers
Vidya

How bad this looks, naah?? We have very recently come out of a very bad phase of malware attack.
As a result, all our routine tasks came to a standstill and we had our head into finding the root cause. Uninstalled our FTP client, cleaned our machines(though all our machines are virus protected), cleaned the script and did everything that we came across and others told us out of their experience.
I think the entire 2-week exercise made me visit all such IPs which were malware affected and am to some extent, a self-proclaimed anti-malware speacialist too
Anyway, when nothing seemed to help, we finally stopped uploading things for sometime. Luckily, the malware issue got fixed, but the flip side, many of you must have come across some errors on the website, some links not working or incomplete access to a page.
I know, I’m too late to address this issue, but believe me, we had a great(read awful) time fighting malware and thought I would better address only when it’s sorted once and forever(keeping fingers crossed).
Eventually, in this whole process, our newsletter release got delayed and so also the joy of the release of QA section and a changed Campus representative page. But, as they say, better late than never, I’m here to apologize for the newsletter delay. We released it last friday and glad the response, though not better, has not worsened. So thanks for keeping trust and coming back to Collegespeaks, as I’m sure, many of you must have seen this big red ugly message on crome and firefox.
We’re now back with NO malware threats, WITH a new section and a new page for the campus reps to tell them about what the freebies and cash rewards are. Will get back soon with more details on these.
See you!!!
