Entrepreneurial Bug Biting Corporate Executives

India is known worldwide for its talented manpower and this is why all the countries import human resources from India. Some of the biggest organizations of the world have Indian employees at managerial aab sabkond directorial levels. Realizing their own potential, corporate executives in India are now beginning to set up their own businesses apparently bitten by the entrepreneurial bug.

Entrepreneurship is the most widespread phenomenon in our country as young professionals believe in utilizing their talent in their own start ups rather than working under others. One needs to have an unusual business idea and should be willing to take risks to start an enterprise from the scratch. For some, the drive starts early i.e. from college years and for others, it takes few years of corporate experience to take the plunge. It is interesting to note that more than 90% of entrepreneurs have worked in an organization before making the move out of which nearly 70% have an experience between 0 to 5 years.

According to the ET-Synovate Entrepreneurship Survey, all those who switch from corporate careers to entrepreneurship already have a business idea in their minds. Almost 85% respondents said that they made the shift when they could no longer hold back their urge to implement the idea and be their own boss. Most of them were pushed to quit either as they had to work on ideas they did not agree with or because it could lose effectiveness if delayed. The major problems faced by the upcoming entrepreneurs were mostly related to funding, convincing business partners and lack of family support. The trends show that even as almost 60% of them got support in form of mentorship or incubation, others preferred being their own mentors. The rapidly spreading bug of entrepreneurship is surely etching various success stories.

Role of brand managers and their increasing responsibilities

Brand managers are generally defined with the roles of managing the image of the brand and projecting it well in front of the common masses. Keeping the products and launches in accordance to the interests of the target audience is something, which always needs to be kept in mind by them. The job of a brand manager is surely of the managerial types, but for actually executing his job; he needs to put himself in the shoes of his target audience. The responsibility of the brand as a whole is on the shoulders of the brand manager. He is accountable for all the activities, which directly or indirectly can affect the image of the brand.

Brand actually corresponds to the name and the fame of the organisation that the company holds in public. Though, it is very tough to mould, form and sustain the public opinion, but it depends on the creativity and the skills of the brand manager, how well he is able to present the news in the form of public interest. The presentation of the product should be in a way, that each and every individual is able to relate himself to the product or services and find a reason to avail them. Marketing and Public relations plays a major role in the commencement of these job duties of the brand manager.

A lot of new marketing techniques and procedures have been seen coming up into practise, with the advancement in the technologies. Internet becoming a great medium of dependency, social networking sites like Facebook, twitter, Orkut, Blogspot, etc. are becoming popular and grabbing the positions of the most advanced and the influential marketing methodologies.

Other than the traditional forms of marketing, now the brand manager is also responsible for the communication processes held on the social networking sites. The increased job responsibilities of the brand manager have lead to more competition and filtration in terms of the most appropriate candidate for the post of brand manager.

Importance of personality development and communication skills

First impression is the last impression, one of the most common quotes, which describes the importance of personality of an individual. This quote has always played an influential role in our lives and we generally tend to follow it. Whenever we go to meet someone for the first time, we wear the best of our dresses with the best of the make- up and accessories matching the dress. And especially in case of some official meeting, it becomes more important for you to have a good and an everlasting impression on the client. In case of interviews you are required to prove yourself the best among the others, a lot of which is contributed by your personality and the communication skills possessed by you.

Jobs help in shaping the overall personality of the individual. But before actually doing the job, you also need to have some skills, which are further needed to be polished. Self confidence, communications skills, way of presenting yourself, are few of the attributes, which helps in defining your overall personality. In an interview you are judged on various parameters. Personality and communication skills, are two, without having which, the chances for you to clear the interview becomes very less.

Jobs are the source of our livelihood, so they need to be grabbed and sustained. There are hundreds of candidates for a single post in companies, but for grabbing one, you need to be highly efficient and capable amongst all the other candidates. Bookish knowledge is what every one have but to clear a job interview, you need to have the traits of a winner, one with a great personality having confidence over himself and his efficiencies. Thus, by being one of those, you can save a good job for yourself in few of the most renowned companies of the country.

Jobs Flooding in India

The industry behemoths are back to business with massive hiring beginning in full swing this year. With the economic revival comes a great year for MBAs as the times of hiring freeze gets over. Even though, the recruitment season at top B-schools commenced with cautious optimism, it surely has ended with a strong economic rebound.

All the major national and multinational companies seem to have launched a recruitment drive. From technology giants, Infosys Technologies and Cognizant to finance companies, ICICI Bank, Citigroup and YES Bank; from BPO majors, Genpact, Wipro to national companies like Tatas, Hindustan Unilever, Procter & Gamble, ITC, Britannia, and Johnson & Johnson to international consulting biggies like McKinsey, Accenture, Deloitte and Boston Consulting Group (BCG)-all are hiring.

Though experienced MBAs were preferred, even first-timers were able to land with many opportunities. The rise in salary packages could be noticed too with a hike of 25% on average for the Class of 2010.

As preferences and demands of recruiters have changed over years, a shift in student’s attitudes could also be seen this time.

Indian cities offer the advantages of high-quality talent pool, lower operational costs, development speed and access to a huge market.

They are now slimming down operations in US and Europe and reinvesting in Asia across India, China and Japan. Indian companies are definitely best at research and innovation but they need to sell themselves more effectively as solution providers.

The bent towards India for technology related matters like cloud computing, research and development is bound to result in huge fruitful collaborations. This will not only lead to significant upsides for partnering firms but also help the Indian technology industry to grow by leaps and bounds. High margins, easier cash flows, environment support, etc. are some of the features of Indian industries that attract foreign investors and corporations from all over the world.

Vacation time for teachers

Vacation is the time which every one waits for, whether it’s you or me; holidays are the most awaited time period. In the life of a service person, it becomes really difficult for him to spare time for his family and friends. I know like me, everyone of you must always be waiting for the weekend to come and the time to arrive when you can enjoy and lead life according to your own rules and definitions. But I hope you would agree with me that these two holidays are just not enough. Just think about those teachers who get two months off as summer vacations. God! They must be damn lucky to be in this profession.

Summer vacations are the biggest advantage a teacher gets, in her profession. It is actually a gala time for her in the whole year, where she spends two entire months with her family. Enjoyment, relaxation, cheering, holidaying must be the adjectives, which these teachers get to implement in their lives, during this vacation period. I m really getting jealous, this must be the time like, we as students use to spend in our summer holidays. It’s actually a bliss for them. But anyhow, I think this rest is must for the teachers as they are the tools, which helps in shaping and defining our career in the right direction. In fact they are the basis, on the teachings of which our whole life is based.

It’s our personal option, which career field we choose, so I think being jealous is the only thing we can do. Jokes apart, every profession has its pros and cons and one should try and be happy with what he gets. Being satisfied and working harder to achieve the targets is the best thing to progress in your career field. Rest we all can only hope that those who are in this profession i.e. having their job in the teaching sector, get to enjoy their holidays to the fullest and spend an amazing time with their family members.

India is the most sought after market globally in terms of manpower and the advanced technology practices. It is surely set to bring in the revolution in the world.

Why do you need a job??

You must be thinking I am asking such a silly question or have raised discussion on a very stupid topic. But, if we actually give it a thought it’s a pure valid question. Look, this is a very well known fact that every Indian at the end aims to be become an entrepreneur. He is happier with owning a business rather than himself being owned by someone as other's property. Then in such a scenario, the question why do you need a job sounds quite logical one. I asked the same question from myself also, that at the end I too want to have my own agency, then why am I doing this job, why am I wasting my years working for some other company and adding to its growth.

The answer obviously came from me, inside me, which stated that you need this job, because you need stability in your life and moreover you want to gain expertise in the field before actually implementing it in your own projects. And i am sure; these are the basic reasons why during the very first stage of his career a student opts for a job in his respective field. Other than stability anderience, the person is also entitled with family responsibilities, and a job is a work place, which provides financial security to his family and life.

A fixed income is what seems to be the most promising factor, why students go for jobs. Also, jobs these days are the best source to way off tensions, which generally get hailed due to personal businesses. Family peace and a smooth lifestyle are also few of the elements, which contributes to the high growth rate of jobs in India. Well, I can conclude now that we should first try and make our lives stable by opting a renowned job, then slowly and steadily can shift towards our dream business or doing that simultaneously is also not a bad option. Because in that case the only thing required extra would be hard work and hard work is the second name to success!!

India among Best Talents in the World

Shortage of talent is not much a problem in India as in other countries of the world. According to the annual talent shortage survey conducted by HR Solutions firm Manpower globally, nearly one-third employers around the world find it difficult to fill in key positions in their organizations. Though the problem is severe in Asia Pacific region, India fares quite well on the talent availability front.

The survey found out that barely 16% employers in India out of 1,700 respondents had difficulty in accessing candidates with appropriate. After all, India has not become an off-shoring and outsourcing hub just like that. It is believed that since the employers have become more specific about the combination of skill sets they are looking for, it may be a problem to hunt for the fully equipped candidates.

The employers today not only seek technical capabilities, but also additional qualities that will help drive their organization forward. This may be upsetting the job seekers who will need to be more skilled and responsible in order to land up with a favorable job as well as for the employers who find it laborious to get the combination.

The survey covers 35,000 employers across 36 countries and also lists countries facing an acute talent shortage. The countries like that of India, US, UK and Norway are among those where shortage of skilled labor seems less problematic. 14% employers in the US, 9% in the UK and 11% in the Norway reported a brush with talent shortage. This figure grew as high as 40% for countries such as Australia, Mexico, Peru, Taiwan and the Hong Kong in China. The overwhelming shortage of talented manpower was reported in Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Singapore and Poland where 50% or more employers said they could not find the right talent for their businesses.

India, an Outsourcing Hub Forever!

India has been an outsourcing hub for all gargantuan brands all over the world who come to India for cheaper yet highly skilled workforce. The trend has taken a higher toll ever since recession struck the global economy with numerous companies nearly shutting down their headquarters and outsourcing jobs in India.

The latest in the league is outsourcing mortgage underwriting and other administration jobs in India. After Kent Reliance, Ipswich Building Society is contemplating transfer of its back office operations to reduce radically administration costs. Many mutuals have started sharing back office tasks and outsourcing their administration to India in a bid to lower overheads.

Building societies are eager to drive down the costs as the sector struggles under the pressure of greater regulation and a shortage of liquidity. Newcastle Building Society runs IT systems used by other mutuals while Skipton Building Society owns a company that carries out auditing and administration jobs for its rivals. The consideration to move administration jobs to India clearly emphasizes and reinforces the possession of talented pool of professionals by the country.

This news brings with it a positive sentiment in the Indian job market, promising generation of thousands of administration jobs. So, admin professionals looking for better employment opportunities with a multi national have a new door open to them. Job market in India is now flooding with both government and private jobs in national and multi national companies. The attrition rates across the country are also expected to grow higher with various companies coming up with mega deals to provide benefits to the employees.

India is the favorite outsourcing and off-shoring hub that helps in not only generating jobs but overall development of the nation. But presently, the great news is that job market is reviving and preparing to offer better packages.

Approaching Your First Job

It is that time of the year when students are graduating from their colleges and ready to kick start their corporate career. Some have landed with a job already, some are busy choosing from among the options available and some are still pursuing the hunt.

The inexperienced graduates or freshers should always begin with a company that gives them maximum exposure. The job should be interesting and should give humungous scope to explore your abilities and capabilities. The focus for first timers and new beginners has to be learning and knowing the work well over money. If possible, get attached to a veteran and see how he wrestles with the situations and customers. Being a youngster, you should respond to the sheer fun and thrill of responsibilities you are endowed with as this makes you conducive.

The new recruits must be ready to unleash your potential on the organization as there is a lot of entrepreneurial scope even in the early years of working. The first job has to be about much more than just the first salary as it helps shape your attitude and spirit for the rest of your professional life. In words of S. Giridhar, Head of Programs and Advocacy at Azim Premji Foundation, salaries are funny animals and it is impossible to plot or predict the salary graph. The first job is important as it has the life-defining potential to somehow calibrate an individual’s appetite for initiative and risk taking, hard work, humility and respect for colleagues.

A good first job is like an umbilical relationship that can never be replaced. It is crucial for you to give yourself a full chance in the first job by being positive in thought and deed. Don’t worry about the organization being small or big, just give the best of everything you can.

Hiring and Firing

Hiring and firing seems to be rhyming words, with the only difference in their initials. But, mind it; these initials have the power to make or ruin your future. These words can make the person shed tears of happiness as well as sadness. I know you would agree with me on the fact, that these days, jobs have become the priority for everyone. After completing education, they want to earn their living and prove to the world their ability and strength. A hell lot of competition is seen inside the family, relatives and colleagues which makes the person more aggressive and makes him look for a better job than his mates in the social circle.

These days, job is something, which one cannot do without. It is not only the mode to earn money, but is also the main source to show off in the society. Being associated with the top brands of the country is surely a matter of pride for the person, as well for his family. And at the same time, having no job, or with a job, which is of less value, makes a person face the situation of shame in front of his family. Also, because of the commencement of talented and capable labour in the job industry, hiring and firing are the two most common terms, which one gets to hear during his working days.

Performance counts, you need to be highly capable and efficient to grab and sustain the job with yourself. If the other candidate performs better than you, then the company says good bye to you! It is somewhere right also, because at the end the organisations want the benefit, and if the employee is not producing profitable results, then its better to lay off the employee. Rather than being this rude to the employees, the companies can also consider the option of shifting the under- performing employees to some other departments, in which they are able to give their best and contribute towards the organisation’s growth. Thus, you as an employee, have to be extra careful and put in more than required, in terms of work performance, to shed off the word firing from your professional life, and earn fame in your work arena.

Indian companies having big hiring plans for 2010- 2011

Recession is gone, that is sure, and to prove the fact, the majors of the Indian market, from almost all the industries are planning to hire a large number of employees in the year 2010. If this comes, true, it would turn out to be great news for all the students passing out this year and candidates who have been in search for jobs from long. Acquiring a job is the dream and need of every man these days, and moreover jobs in the most renowned companies of the country are surely a golden opportunity for the candidates. Don’t worry, I am not trying to make a fool out of you, whatever I am writing is according to a research report by E&Y & Kelly Services, the global consulting firms.

According to the reports, a total of around 5, 00, 000 jobs opportunities are expected to knock the doors of candidates in India from the fields of IT, Telecom. Healthcare and banking in the year 2010-2011, with the bifurcation as mentioned below:

Also, according to a study done by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India, the jobs in the manufacturing industry is going to add 28 million job opportunities for the aspirants in the field of IT and technology.

All these facts, surely leads to a hope in me that the future job market in India is expected to grow and to a large scale, with the consumption of all the skilled but unemployed labour of the country. Also, the growth rate of the Indian economy as a whole will also increase, leading to more developments and advancements in the country. So all the ambitious job seekers, keep yourselves and your resume updated, because very soon you are going to get a job worth your talent.

Economy’s Revival, a Harbinger of Job Switch

Indian job market is buzzing with jobs as economy begins to bounce back after the slowdown. With economy’s revival comes the load of immense expectations from both job seekers and employers. Professionals are waiting to move out of their present jobs and industries to switch to a better one.

According to a recent survey, more than 40 % of over 20,000 surveyed plan to quit their current jobs within next six months. Employees across the age and experience groups all over the country in various organizations, functional areas and industries are ready to switch their jobs both within and outside their own industry.

A tough road of attrition has been clearly indicated at by the survey. The disillusionment of recession times had left everyone fretful and disturbed but in the current scenario, new hopes have raised. Middle and lower levels were the most affected and so, higher attrition rate is expected from these levels. Professionals at these levels have no qualms about leaving their current jobs for better profiles and salaries in wake of growing availability of better opportunities. .

Most of the professionals from all major cities such as Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, etc. were found eager to change jobs. Around 60% of the workforce currently employed with Manufacturing, Automobiles and BPOs is planning to change to jobs outside their industries. However, those working with Construction and Information Technology (IT) companies were looking for job change within their own industry.

This pace of attrition is quite amazing but not really unexpected. Professionals in almost all the companies, big and small alike had not received any increments or benefits last year. Their expectations are high this year but if they don’t get good enough appraisals, they would naturally like to move out of the company.

Are you a Foodie?

Good News for Foodies… Eat and Get Paid!

Are you a foodie? How About Getting Paid for Being so!

There is good news for all you food lovers. Your dream job lies ahead and what makes you a potential candidate is your love for food. You can be paid a whopping 24,000 pounds if you have a big appetite and can happily allow an intake of 400 extra calories every day. Yep, that’s the only qualification!

Similar to ‘mystery shopping’ where people are paid for shop and eat, companies are now willing to pay lazy individuals to do nothing but eat more. These positions are currently open in Proactol Ltd. to both men and women and the ideal candidate should not be on a diet. He/ She should be eating a healthy balanced diet of carbohydrates, fats and proteins and be willing to increase the calorie intake by 16% a week. The candidate would be required to eat fattening foods such as Chinese, fish and chips, pizza and burgers.

Could you believe that someone would pay you hefty amounts of money just to do what you regularly do or more precisely to eat. Well, I could not when I read about it in the paper this morning but then, this is obviously not without reason.
