Being jobless is a widespread phenomenon in today’s world of economic slowdown. It has become quite common to hear about layoffs and unemployment in the present scenario. But, various reports and surveys have confirmed that a huge job market is set to open and absorb hundreds of professionals soon. Jobs in India across various industries will be available in large numbers as a gradual exit of recession can be seen. This spurt in jobs is because of the immediate shortage of manpower being felt after the economy has bounced back to its original state.

Changing Jobs Frequently? Wait and Read on

The materialistic and status conscious world of today has changed the whole scenario related to job stability and longevity. There were times when people would spend their entire career in association with just one company and leaving jobs in search of a better one was quite unheard of. The job market of present times has gone for a makeover since then with constant expansion of employment opportunities.

The flourishing of corporate companies in India and abroad has generated various career opportunities that offer wider options for the job seekers leading to frequent job changes. The attractions leading to a job change majorly are lucrative salaries, growth prospects and higher designation within the same industry. But, it is very important to remember that change of employers should be done very prudently or else you would be quickly tagged as a ‘job hopper’ by the industry.

We all are aware of the fact that companies avoid recruiting candidates who have changed various numbers of jobs in a short span of time. Besides their reservations, it may also leave a negative impression on your potential employers as:
-They may think that probably it was you who is inefficient and was thrown out by the previous employer.
- Every organization, as a rule of thumb, hires professionals with a long-term approach. They only need stable employees who can contribute to the growth of their company for a long time.
- Another reason is that they obviously don’t want to waste their time, resources, money and productivity on training and hiring you.

Make sure that you leave your present job only for very valid and weighty reasons. You will always keep finding a little better options but you have to decide which ones is worth it and can keep you in the long run.

Encourage Women Empowerment !

Women’s are said to be the power bombs! They are not only hot and sexy in their physical appearance but also have a very strong and intelligent mindset. They know it very well, when and how things are to be said and executed. Today, women have excelled in almost all the arenas, whether its work or home, she is the mastermind everywhere. They, have so amazingly handled all the managerial roles in the country, in fact the president of our country is also a woman.

Women has played a significant role in the development and growth of the country, when we talk about top management in an organisation, it is mostly conquered by the women employees of the company. They have left no stone unturned in matching heights with men, in fact, woman today has left men far behind in terms of success and intellectuality. Women like Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi, Kalpana Chawla, Ekta kapoor, Dr. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Swati Piramal, Lalita D Gupte, are few of the examples, which have set benchmarks in their respective fields.

These are the mentions, whose efforts we get to see in terms of company growth and profits, but there are a large number of women work forces working in the rural areas of the country, who work day and night to earn their living. They contribute and manage the responsibility of their entire house, in terms of both finances and house management, with their unusual skills and talent. The contributions made by the Women in the rural areas are left unrecognised, and if seen they play a major role in keeping the tradition culture values alive in the country. The handicraft made by these women adds a lot to the country’s monetary balances.

These all credits to the importance of women empowerment in the country and if the same is motivated and encouraged, the results would be great and much lucrative.

Learn to live life your way !

Fun or adventure is the necessity of life, you or me anybody cannot lead our lives just on the basis of job or studies. The factor of entertainment and joy is very important to breathe a balanced life. I have few friends who just run away from the name of outing or parties, they are so much like bookworms and jobaholic people, I mean, how can one be like this. Doing work whole day, stressing yourself, is so impossible to practise, you need a break at least once a weak, and you need to go out and have fun with your friends and family.

Forget about all such bores, actually I was about to tell you an exciting news, I have recently heard about a profession called adventure sports trainer, they are the people who train you how to perform adventure sports. It means, you need not loose your heart anymore of not being able to practise a sport, as you do not know how to do it, because, now you have professional trainers who will train you about the sport, before you actually perform it.

And moreover, if you are an expert in performing these sports, you can encash your talent by guiding others and helping them to perform an adventure game. Just imagine, it must be so exciting to make people learn different adventurous sports, which they want to perform, but because of scarcity of knowledge and their nervousness towards the game, they are unable to even try it. Also, with the growth in tourism industry, the demand of adventure sports trainees has increased, to add fun and joy their trips and to make them try out different things, which they are afraid of. Such sports, even helps in building the overall confidence of the people and bring optimism in their approach towards life. Different schools, in which one can apply for jobs in adventure sports like rock climbing, scuba diving, trekking, paragliding, water skiing, kayaking, rock climbing, mountaineering, etc are Institute of Skiing and Mountaineering, Kashmir, Atal Bihari Vajpaee Institute of Mountaineering and Allied Sports, Manali, Nehru Institute of Mountaineering, Uttarakhand, etc.

Also, keeping in mind the rising need of fitness and adventure, many corporate have also started organising such training programmes for their employees, to add an element of freshness in their lives. Plans of senior secondary and senior secondary schools implementing such programmes in their curriculum are also coming up, which would be a great excitement for students and would surely add on the reasons for their increase in attendance.

Changing Boss culture !

The country is developing, economy is growing, and so are the job opportunities and responsibilities for a job seeker or an employee. Our country has always got fascinated by the western culture, we get more attracted towards a foreigner, or a foreign culture, and more often we try to adopt it. But the best part is that, we try everything, but we keep with ourselves, which is the finest. I think that is the best of being an Indian, you get to see different people living in different environments, due to it being a follower of unity in diversity.

The same is the case with the working environments, which has been changing with the advancements in time and the technologies. Today, we experience more freedom in terms of work environment, the mentality of the employer is changing, as he is giving more space to his employees to think and be in his own. And the main part, the relation between the boss and the employee is moving towards a casual mode, which is a positive sign. The friendly ties between the boss and his team members have proved to be an encouragement factor for the employees to grow and perform better. Also, this has lead to an increase in the competitive feeling among the employees itself, which at the end results in the growth of the organisation.

The bosses these days, are cool, more helping and understanding, which has reduced the stress levels of the employees, workers are now-a- days more free in coming up with their problems, discussing them with their team heads, rather than lingering it in and letting it affect the work assignments and their work output. The bosses these days are more prone towards providing counselling and problem solving sessions to the employees, to ensure a hassle- free work culture. Also, with the companies wanting to increase the longitivity of its employees, more comfort level and facilities are provided to workers, to keep them satisfied and simultaneously giving them opportunities to grow in the organisation itself.

All these factors have collectively helped in my career growth, and I hope gone are the days, when we used to bitch about our bosses and organisation, because at the end of the day, we as employees want to grow and achieve our dream goals.
