Job market in India: The Hottest Job profiles
As
the global economy suffers from its worst meltdown since The Great Depression,
its effects on growing economies have been far reaching and consequential.
However, Indian economy has responded to this slowdown in a much better way
than most other economies of the world. Much of this revival has been driven by
the growing service sector, which in turn owes its immunity to big corporate
and IT/ITeS firms. This is also reflected in the job market as the most “in
demand” jobs seem to be gravitating towards the IT sector. Other sectors that
are facing shortage of good manpower include FMCG, Real estate, banking and
telecom.
Corporate
firms are on a hiring spree giving the job seekers a reason to smile more than ever. Studies and research by independent sources
suggest that unlike the whole world, employment prospects remain strong in
India, which again is an indicator of the overall optimism related to the
economy. The only pre-requisite is that you should posses the required skill
set and experience, and companies will eventually find you.
