Young graduates can choose from a variety of careers
If you are a fresh college graduate and looking to start a career then frame your resume and go ahead
Looking for a job, as a fresh college graduate, is not easy, but then searching for a job is a job in itself! The best way to start your career search is by collecting all the information about all the jobs available and then zeroing in on what grabs your fancy.
There are some 500-off career choices available today! In an Employability Primer for job seekers, released by them recently the “hot” industries of this decade include
1. Information Technology, which is projected to generate 2.2 million jobs by 2008
2. Telecommunications
3. Banking and Financial Services
4. The BPO market and the KPO segment
5. Organised retailing is estimated to employ about two million Indians by 2010
6. Gaming and animation which are the fastest growing segments of the media and entertainment industry worldwide. Animation alone would require 3,00,000 people by the year 2008.
7. Biotechnology which will see 100 million jobs added by 2012!
8. Insurance which is slated to employ some 1,00,000 people by the end of this year.
9. Tourism which is said to become the world’s largest industry by the year 2010
10. Some 1,80,000 vacancies are expected to be filled in the hotel industry by the next decade.
“The health sector is projected to employ 9 million people in the next decade and industry estimated indicate that 50,000 new jobs will open up every year in the civil engineering sector”.
Not that you know the job options available, the question arises as to how you get access to them. First you would need to know the channels to explore. This includes both the advertised and the hidden job market. About 20-30 per cent of the jobs are hidden and can be really be accessed only through the networking and marketing oneself.
Job channels include training and placement via vocational institutes, advertisements and classified ads, career portals, corporate websites, job fairs, walk-in-interviews, head hunters, word of mouth referencing, corporate recruitment colleges and of course the Internet.
All young graduates looking for jobs should post their resumes at, at least two job portals and search various jobs sites.
“Of late online recruitment has gained popularity as more and more organisations and discovering the advantages of using the Internet to increase their headcount,”
“Visiting a career fair, is another good way to get into a job,” advising to young graduates is to carry enough copies of your resume, dress well, come prepared as “interviews in career fairs last for anywhere between two to three minutes. And last but not least follow up with the company post the meeting.”
