| The time has never been good
for fresher jobs in India. With so many
companies offering offshore outsourcing
services and many other sectors booming,
the demand for fresh minds is on an all
time high. Based on your qualifications,
you can take your pick from BPOs, call
centers, banks and insurance institutions,
IT companies, media companies, ad agencies,
and a lot more. With the advent of a lot
of new kind of services being offered
out of India, companies are always on
a lookout for open-minded and enthusiastic
graduates who could be trained on new
processes and technologies. |
| |
| The choice is easy
for qualified professionals |
|
| If you have any professional
or technical qualifications, then the
task is easier for you as you have already
picked your field and many companies would
be willing to take you in as a trainee
and even offer a decent salary. Many companies
hire candidates directly from their college
campuses. |
| |
| Four steps to pick
the first job for candidates with general
college education |
|
| The problem that fresher
candidates who have basic graduate qualifications
face is that they do not have any idea
about what they want to do in future.
If you are one of them, follow these simple
steps to reach where you want to be: |
|
1. Open up any newspaper with job
ads or any job search website and
start eliminating the jobs that you
obviously don’t want to do.
After the elimination is complete
make the final list of your short-listed
jobs.
2. Now, look for openings in those
areas and read the job description
carefully and see if it is something
you want to do. This will help you
in eliminating a few more from your
short-listed jobs.
3. You would now have two or three
fields in your consideration set.
Apply for fresher or trainee jobs
in those areas and attend the interviews.
During the interview probe the interviewer
about the exact nature of job, so
that you can decide if it is to your
liking.
4. Finally pick a place that fits
your qualifications, has a mentor
who can train you, and provides good
working environment for trainees.

|
| Please do not worry too much
about your salary while looking for your
first job. You should just negotiate enough
to get industry average pay which could
be anywhere between Rs.4,000 to Rs.15,000
as per your qualification and the industry
you are in. Consider your first job as
a learning opportunity. The things that
you will learn in your first job will
help you throughout your career, so make
sure that the company has good policies
for employees and you have a good boss
who is willing to train you. |
| |
| The focus has shifted
from employers to employees |
|
| Due to this radical shift,
companies are offering great training
and learning opportunities to its employees.
In your first job, learning as much as
possible should be your top priority.
Also find out about the HR policies and
work culture in the company you are planning
to join. The advantage of joining a company
as a fresher is that you will be on probation
for at least three to six month. If you
do not like your job at all, you can leave
the company without any obligations and
start your career all over again! |
