With the onslaught of recession, the recruitment drive in India was hampered to a certain extent especially for fresh lot of graduates.

The Global Meltdown brought many changes in the way Indian Job Market was perceived. While USA became vocal about anti-outsourcing and came Obama's famous speech. In May last year also, he had said American companies’ shipping jobs overseas will be required to pay more taxes, and that tax-deferral benefits for such companies will be ended. "It’s a tax code that says you should pay lower taxes, if you create a job in Bangalore, India, than if you create one in Buffalo, New York,"
But, Yes Recession is Over, and has come up with some positive and negative effects.

The job Market in India is now focusing on lateral entry though recruitment of freshers though it's in slow mode.

 

Some of the top recruiters in India however opined that due to economic slowdown salary levels in sectors like software, travel and hospitality have taken a backseat. In some sectors, professionals are paid far below the national average.

 

The sectors which are opening up with lots of job opprtunity coming this year:

 

BPO/ITES: With the establishment of outsourcing centers in the metropolis of the country, many jobs have been created in the BPO sector. Some of the top ten recruiters in BPO sector are HCL Technologies, Genpact, Tech Mahindra, Intelenet Global and Citigroup Global Services. Compensation package in BPO sectors have improved a lot.

 

Public Sector Banks: Even the government offices are now on a hiring spree. The Public Sector Banks including SBI and it's Associates, Indian Overseas Bank and other major banks have recruited thousands of posts both at the officer and clerical levels.

 

Airport Authority: The Airport Authority of India (A.A.I) recently organized a special recruitment drive for the posts of- Junior Assistant (Fire Service), Junior Attendant (MT) Auto Mechanic, Senior Assistant (Civil Engineering),Senior Assistant (Statistics).

 

Indian Police Force: The Indian Police department will soon go on a hiring spree as there are plans to recruit nearly 150,000 at the lower level of police administration by the end of March 2010.

 

This definately is a good initiative and would boost the present state of deplorable condition of police force.

 

Bioinformatics:

Top recruiters in India are now also focusing in areas of genomics and bioinformatics. Genomics Quality Control Centre in Delhi and Hyderabad's GVK Bio-Sciences are some of the companies which are on lookout for qualified pharma-biotech freshers.

 

The automobile Industry has held very good growth track in India even during recession. This Industry is hiring & also their is salary in double digit. The industry's fortunes have been helped by market leaders Maruti Suzuki(cars), hero Honda(motorcycles) and Mahindra & Mahindra notching up good growth. Maruti added more then 750 people last year and they will hire more then 940.

 

Export House: India's exports rose by 9.3% for the second consecutive month, after 13 straight months of decline.

 

Manufacturing House: India's manufacturing sector grew at its fastest pace in almost one to one-and-a-half years in January 2010.

 

Before you go ahead; If you are Job Hunter wishing you a very good luck for your job hunt!!

What's stored in for Job Hunter's for 2010

  It was Sep 15 2008 when world woke to a shock to which it has not yet recovered- The Lehaman episode !!

Lehman Brothers Holding Inc. was a global financial-services firm until declaring bankruptcy on 15th September 2008. Lehman had to filed for bankruptcy because of the massive exodus of most of its clients, drastic losses in its stcoks and devaluation of its assests by credit rating agencies. Lehman Brothers was a primary dealer in the W.S. Treasury securities market. Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America under distresses circumstances during the 2008 Financial Crisis.

From then onwards we heard news of layoffs, job loss. The worst affected were dreamy eyed fresh graduates who were waiting to join world of work and start a new journey of life for which they were preparing for more than 16 years!
Here are list of few companies who layed off its employee during the time of recession.
  • Google number search Engine had to revealed 24,400 employees.
  • Microsoft Corp first time in its 34-year history, cutted more then 10,000 jobs as demand for personal computers slowed down during those period.
  • Seagate world's largest maker of computer hard disk drives, reduced their work forced by 10%
  • Beijing-based company, the world's fourth-largest PC maker Lenovo Group layed off about 11 per cent of its work force.
  • Sony slashed 5 per cent of its global electronics work force.
  • Oracle Corp, the world's No. 3 software maker, fired more then 5000 workers.
  • Sun Microsystems Inc removed as many as 6,000 jobs
  • AT&T Inc is layed off 12,000 jobs, about 4 per cent of its work force.
  • It Major IBM fired 24000 workers & Intel 8000
  • Yenepoya University, Mangalore
  • Time Warner Inc's AOL reduced 10 per cent of its workforce.
  • Nissan Japan's third-biggest automaker to slashed 20,000 jobs, or 8.5 percent of its global work force.
  • Industrial conglomerate Emerson Electric Co cutted its workforce by up to 14,000
  • Even Steel-making giant ArcelorMittal fired 10000 workers.
  • Dell cut more than 18,000 jobs last year
  • Investment Banking like Bank of America reduced their head count 46000

  • Hexaware fires more then 500 employess.
  • Satyam fraud threatened to dent India's Image and its FDI inflows. After breaking out on January 7, 2009, its was PMO who directly looked into these and saved careers of more then 30000 employees. Later Satyam was purchased by TechMahindra
Job market is nothing but demand and supply game. As demand will increase companies will hire more and vice - versa. Everyone is heard saying recession is over. Have a look at the hiring trend this year:
  • TCS plans to hire more then 15000 employess and they have started their process.
  • Infosys is also hiring more then 10,000 employees.
  • Wipro is also in queue to hire more then 10,000 job
  • TechMahindra and Satyam Mahindra has plans to hire more then 5000 employees this year.
  • IBM will be recruiting more in India then in any other countries.
So, Freshers and Job Hunters remember depression and desperation don’t sell but poise and confidence do!!

So prepare for Interview. Know the interview pattern & make their resume more attractive. For more information on how should you go about it have a look at our job hunt section.
Freshers in start do not look for higher package. Try to enter Companies, get experience & after that think of better opportunities.
 
All the Best !!! :)

Case 1:



You were the most intelligent student of yourclass; you had never seen a second rank ever in your education life.You always scored 100 out of 100 in Mathematics in your school.Besides, you also received the best student of the college award.




Case 2:


You were always a mediocre student who barelymanaged to pass in you Mathematics paper in school. You always dreamtof receiving the best student award trophy but you know its a dreamthat it is never destined.


It Can Happen:

Campus placement time comes. But hey,what is happening here? The student described in case 2 gets shortlisted in every company he gives interview for and the case whenstudent takes time to find over.

Why? Because sometimes we forget that its equally important to have good interpersonal skills.

Institutions today understand the need and importance of having goodinterpersonal skills, and parents should also encourage their wards indeveloping soft skills. Communication is the greatest skill set in theworld today. It's been said “half the problem is solved, if communicated properly." so, readers with your report card's As alsokeep testing and enhancing your interpersonal skills.
