Are you looking for a Secure Job?

February 6th, 2012

A large section of the population of India is classified as middle class. A government job, for this section of the Indian society, is a dream come true. Jobs in India include working for both public and private sectors of the economy. However, if it is a secure job that the Indian youth is aiming to get, only the government sector can completely ensure that. The capital of India, Delhi, is the preferred destination for job seekers young and old to apply and start work for the government sector.

The most pertinent question that comes in the mind of the Indian student after he has completed studies is – will I get a job?What job will be good for me? Students are also confused as to which sector of the economy, whether public or private, they should work for, so that their skills are properly utilized and there is sufficient career growth.

Benefits of Pursuing Government Jobs over Private Jobs

A survey conducted in the year 2011 shows that more students today want to work in the public sector that the private sector in India. There are several reasons responsible for this phenomenon among the Indian youth.

  • The sixth pay commission has led to lucrative salaries to employees of the public sector. The pay package offered to an employee working in government jobs in India is today higher when compared to the salary of an employee of the private sector working in an equivalent position.
  • Every government organization provides after retirement benefits like LTC, pension and provident fund plans. These are sometimes not available in a private company.
  • There is no fear of shutdown of a government organization, whereas a private organization can close its doors with changing scales of profit.
  • A person can choose to work for a public organization till his age of retirement. A private sector organization can choose to terminate the services of an employee for reasons like cost cutting, poor performance or lack of profit.
  • Promotions and hence appraisals take place on a regular basis in a government company, which cannot be assured in a private company.
  • The government of India provides emoluments like gratuity, bonus, housing loans, house rent allowance, salary arrears, dearness allowance and medical facilities that are offered by only large private organizations.
  • These factors not only bring monetary security but also mental security. nlike the private sector, government jobs in India bring assurance and peace.

How you can make full utilization of your time?

January 30th, 2012

Though finding time out from work is a luxury for most of the professionals working in the public and the private sectors, this is not considered to be such a big deal for students these days. College students who are pursuing their undergraduate degrees have a lot of time at hand when they return home after classes. Most of them either spend their free time watching television or playing games on the Internet. The same goes for housewives and retired personnel. The latter find it all the more difficult to sit idle at home after having led very busy professional lives. As far as the housewives are concerned, most of them cannot go out to work as they have children to look after. So, how can they spend their time in a more constructive manner? Well, data entry jobs in Hyderabad might just be the answer.

Requirement for the Data entry Jobs in Hyderabad:

Hyderabad is a city that is buzzing with IT companies and the growth of organizations is resulting in the growth of jobs in India. The continuous rise in the number of IT companies is creating a scope whereby online management of data is found to be extremely useful. To further this purpose, a lot of data entry operators are being hired. The most important advantage of the data entry job is the fact that the employees can work from the comforts of their homes and get some additional income at their end, which can be anywhere around INR 5,000 to INR 15,000. All they need is a stable internet connection and the amount they earn is going to be dependent upon the amount of work they do. There are no additional qualifications required for this job.

Benefits of Data Entry Jobs:

Data entry jobs in Hyderabad are a good source of pocket money for students who are still studying and cannot afford to find a full-time job due to time constraints. As far as the retired personnel are concerned, they find it fitting because it does not involve any running around from home to office and at the same time, they can get back to their old habit of a desk job. Perhaps the most important beneficiaries are the housewives who can utilize this job to get some extra money without having to be away from their domestic responsibilities.

Depending upon the agreement that the prospective employee makes with the prospective employer, the working hours can be sorted. In some cases, the companies give the employees a certain time limit within which the job has to be completed. There is no need to work for eight hours a day if the employee has enough speed and can meet the deadline comfortably. The money saved due to no transportation cost and luxury to wake up late in the day can be added bonuses.

Future of Private Sectors
With Healthcare, Education, IT and Hospitality fields burgeoning, it wouldn’t be over-optimistic to think that the scenario of private jobs in India is soon to change for the better. While IT companies including HCL, Cognizant, Wipro, IBM and TCS have geared up their recruitment process both off-campus and on-campus, the hospitality sector is not left behind either. Hotels like Oberoi, Taj etc. and hospitals including Fortis and Apollo are looking forward to provide greater job possibilities to both experienced candidates and freshers.

It is reported that about 50% of people who had resigned last year and undertaken the survey are likely to come up with better job opportunities by the first quarter of 2o12.

Outlook of the Government Sector in 2012

The health department aims at increasing the job vacancies by 40% and train more health practitioners and nurses so as to cope with emergencies like natural disasters, wars, terrorist attacks etc. With air travel turning out to be all the more common, the government is also expected to improve the airport capacities. Now, this action certainly calls for additional number of air and land staff members. Besides, an increase in ground transportation jobs is also expected considering the need to keep off from traffic congestion. A number of civil servant and defense force jobs are also anticipated to go high by this year. By introducing an increasing number of job opportunities, the government aims at luring the overseas troop back to their home country.

Tips to face Salary Related Questions in a Job Interview?

December 28th, 2011

The most important part while hunting Jobs in India is when the HR manager asks you about your expected salary. Depending upon what you ask you can actually overvalue or undervalue yourself. So, it is most important to be aware of your true market potential to ensure that you don’t miss the job opportunity.

Even the most seasoned and experienced professionals face challenges in answering salary-related questions in an interview. To help you deal with the tricky questions better, following are some suggestions to deal with salary-related questions:

Some tips to answer salary-related questions

Be honest: When you are asked about your compensation in your previous organization, answer the question with honesty. Today, there are many ways for the recruiters to verify the salary of a prospective candidate.

Research: Come prepared for a job interview and research about the market value before appearing for the meeting. This will also help you answer questions related to your salary expectations.

Avoid direct answers: Avoid directly answering the questions. You can cite examples of the market conditions and discuss about industry situations for the answer. Highlight the factors that have interested you in applying for the position. Also ask about the factors which can have an impact on your salary.

Be flexible: Salary negotiation can actually make or break your opportunity to get the job and hence, do not negotiate salary before receiving the job offer. Also let the interviewer know that you are open for discussion about compensation.

Be comfortable: Sooner or later in an interview you’ll be asked questions regarding salary. So, don’t look uncomfortable in discussing about compensation. However, you may avoid bringing up the question yourself.

Be patient: Do not rush to answer questions about salary. If you are asked a direct question, take your time in framing your answer before replying. Also look out for tricky, indirect questions which can lead to salary discussions.

Know the company: Before appearing for an interview, learn about the company. This can give you a fair idea about its payment structure. However, established companies have their fixed remuneration structure which may be hard to negotiate.

Carry documents: Some recruiters may ask you to carry documents regarding your salary with you for the interview. Be prepared with your documents that have your compensation mentioned in it. If you also earn incentives and performance bonuses apart from your salary, carry documents to substantiate that.

Given below are some of the common questions about salary that are asked during an interview:

  • How much are you earning in your current company?
  • What were your first and last salaries?
  • How much do you expect to earn from this job?
  • What are your salary requirements on short-term and long-term basis?
  • Have you earned any performance bonus or incentives in your previous organization?
  • Why or why not do you think there is a salary hike last time?
  • Are you flexible in negotiating your salary?

Today, there are many websites available online for professionals to have a fair guess on their market value based on the industry, experience, skills, qualification, location etc. These can help one in dealing with salary questions better.

Job Opportunities in India in the first quarter of 2012

Job Opportunities in India in the first quarter of 2012

With fears of economic stagnancy hitting the country every now and then, it would be being over optimistic if surveys suggest that the New Year is anticipated to bring in stability in the recruitment scenario. It is true that as of now, the industrial output is in a declining mode and as per the information penned downed by Confederation of Indian Industry, it can be said that the declining job market can affect the livelihoods and employment across the nation. Further, in October, the industrial output was lowered by 5.1%, chiefly because of the sheer decline in capital goods, manufacturing and mining sectors. This isn’t all, even the government has also lowered its GDP growth rate to 7-7.5 %, which was formerly fixed at 9%, so as to slowdown the economic expansion and prevent the job market from suffering further. But then, Manpower India pointed out that in spite of uncertainties in the job market, things are supposed to take a U-Turn and recruiting plans will possibly bounce back after a minor decline in the last three months of 2011.

What Surveys Speak?

Of late, Manpower, a worldwide renowned global HR company came up with a job survey report, wherein it has clearly mentioned that Indian employers are most optimistic when it comes to recruiting. More specifically, it had conducted the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey across 41 countries, but then, the most favorable results were generated by India. According to the survey, 6 out of 7 industry domains in India are expected to come up with a positive result within the first quarter of 2012. From the survey conducted by Naukri.com, a similar idea could be derived. According to the Naukri Job Speak index, the recruiting activities will speed up across all the industry domains by the first three months of 2012.

Booming Industries in 2012

With the unemployment rate expected to fall below 5% by the first quarter of 2012, there will be room for plenty of jobs in India. According to the reports of PlastIindia Foundation, the plastic industry is expected to enjoy an annual turnover of INR 100,000 crores. On the other hand, the communications sector plans to recruit as many as 10 million people by the same time while the Indian Agrochemicals Industry expects a growth rate of 7.5%.

How to Hire New Employees?

December 13th, 2011

With the increasing Jobs in India, the trend of hiring employees have changed over a period of time, while hiring for new employees Employers now need to look upon other factors as well apart from their experiences and educational background. Some of the points to be kept in mind are:

Identify Attitude, Intelligence and Energy:

Never judge an employee with his experience, this is something which you can give while training and development, so its better to find the kind of attitude a person carries and then try to match the current profile requirement with that. Test the intelligence level and the energy level of the employee which will help the organization in a better manner.

Go for someone who is hungry, not starving:

Always hire an employee who is eager to work in your organization so that they can show their zeal and enthusiasm but if you will take a person who is starving, he will just jump into the first thing which is in hand

Learn about their past:

Find out what best and worst happened in their life, simple questions with which you can judge the personality of the person and as you know that history repeats itself

Keep the probation period of 90 days at least:

During this time you can make out how enthusiastic the person is and how you can actually take the best out of him and moreover a person can not fake for so long.

By taking these point into consideration you can actually find a better employee to work for you.
