There may be a downturn in the recruitment scenario, but for those who know where to look, opportunities continue to exist.
If you are a student about to graduate and have been reading stories on job losses every day, you probably are worried. But there are multiple reasons for you not to, as opportunities still exist, if you know where to look. With the sixth pay commission tipping the scales, the public sector comes with the added advantage of job security.
An indicator of the popularity of government jobs is the number of subscribers to the Website ‘Sarkari Naukri’, which lists government jobs in India from Central and State governments, public sector units, courts, universities and banks. It is nearing 128,000.
TheSarkariNaukri is the India’s leading web site devoted to helping individuals in finding the jobs they are seeking in the public and government sectors in India and worldwide. Sarkarinaukri provides job resource information.
The categorises the job listings under different categories such as Faculty/Teacher Jobs, Latest Bank Jobs in India, and IT and Engineering Jobs in India. Most jobs nowadays are for engineers, management trainees,Finance and HR are popular areas.
With the IT industry maturing, numerous areas beyond software programming are emerging, says Sriram V. Rajagopal, assistant vice-president, HR, Cognizant. What is noteworthy is the continued emphasis and need for strong communication and soft skills in these areas too.
IT infrastructure is one such area. It deals with providing clients the ability to optimise, continuously monitor and enhance the performance of their entire IT infrastructure backbone — ranging from server and database infrastructure to email, he says. It also involves managing the IT operations, IT help desk support, systems integration, platform migration and upgrades and consulting services such as IT infrastructure assessment.
Any science or engineering graduate can work in this sector. In some areas, a diploma holder in Computer Science is also considered. While companies usually provide their own training, a recognised certification course in the respective area is valued, he says.
