Get Your First Opportunity

Careers are changing dynamically... With the changing attitude and the ambitions of our young generation it may be difficult to say " I am from XYZ stream in my graduation and I would like to go in this field only". It may be right to start, but makes it difficult after some time with changing dynamics of Information received from various sources by the Aspirant.

Most of the Graduates would like to be in a Management function in the future and its important that you should pickup any job after your graduation. You need to understand one thing that by actually working on some of the assignments... you are making yourself acquented to the organisational environment, understand the dynamics of organisational culture, understand working with teams, understand your manager, understand the business cycle and ofcourse understand yourself to explore further.

This experiential information would help you build confidence and test yourself in the organisation. After a typical 2-3 years of exposure to the organisation move on to do your MBA (I would still say that by that time if you feel you need to have an MBA degree)....That would always be the best....

Go ahead and pick the right first opportunity (ofcourse evaluate briefly) and keep moving... one piece of advise... please stick and do it for atleast 1 year to gather some mass of understanding.

OR

If you have any inclination to be on your own... pickup any assignment from companies as freelancer or on franchise like exposure to kick start your work... I shall write more on this in later stories...

All the Best and beat the recession with a quick start... or else your juniors would be in race....

All the best,
Reddy GR

HOW DO YOU SECURE JOB IN TODAY'S TIMES : SME'S WHO CAN AFFORD YOU



Continuing with my comments on August 23rd 2008 on www.1stjob.blogspot.com… GR works with Husys – HR Function Management Company based at Hyderabad.

Its almost an year and we are here at a stage exactly what is predicted on that day… Some of the observations and hints that I would like to share at this point to get you to your first job comfortably.


World of SME’s
What we have seen changing in the SME’s World :
- There are hiccups interms of the money flow but it never deterred the SME’s to take this challenge and stand against the odd. The strength today is going to give 10% of the SME’s would emerge as large organizations of future.
- The Ability of the SME owners to keep investing into the new areas of business to bring the productivity.
- Lucky enough that the overhead & infrastructure costs are lower for all of the SME’s. It may have been due to the cautious behavior of hard earned rupee and also awareness of the ground realities.
- Small & Medium – Retail, Hospitality, Health Care, NGO’s, Various Services businesses
- There are many ventures making inroads into the Educational space. There is space for everyone. The more small and focused institutes with value add to the students would make their mark in this space.

What a Student/First Job Seeker to Do now:

- Forget what one expects you to do…. You are unique to yourself…. Define your own path….
- For a moment and few weeks let your parents don’t advise/tell/force you… Take that free time for yourself from what you know from others(friends etc.,)
- Review your critical capabilities interms of
o Your Interests
o Your Focus for Future
o Your Ability to Reach the desired level
o Your ability to assess and seek relevant support
o Your ability to define a path ( which may not be always the way everyone things)
o Your ability to innovate/experiment should be out
o Your ability to forget what you did… but what you acquired beyond grades/certificates
- If you have done the above…. Now you are ready to do different things than the other 99.99999999% of people do…

In this episode I would focus on one of the way to reach the SME’s :

After reading the following steps if you ask yourself “ Is this possible with me” don’t attempt to use this method and remain what you are…. If your mind says “ Challenging but let me make an effort”….that’s enough for you to move towards your goal.
- Identify and study the business of about 10 SME’s in different Segments (This is not easy task, but if you do it you are 50% through your search)
- Seek an appointment after your initial background study
- Understand the challenges of those SME’s currently and what’s there in future
- Create a channel to offer services to the SME in consideration by you or your group (A Team )
- Create a service product of offerings so that the SME would listen to you based on your ground work and different ways of looking at things… they know that you don’t want to be a burden to them than building support for their business.
o Eg. A team of young graduates with excellent communication skills could work on a Customer Data Gathering and arranging appointments for an organisation’s Sales Managers. This would help in building business for the organisation. Get paid based on the income generated out of your efforts.


Wish you all the best... please do write your comments for improvement and more information....

Those are paid better as long as the resource perform at improvise contribution every time.

High acceptability when your wave length match with the Business thinking and linking/ Interpreting to your functional Skills and deliver with expertise: This challenge is normally at the mid level manages However company trying to reduce the fat at the TOP and Mid Level and build teams at the entry level to balance the delivery challenges of execution and its an opportunity for the fresher to gain but when you can start thinking about the company business.

Come into the Reality and keep your shoes in the Present Business Situation- Come out of Social influence of brand image for your Job to showoff to your friends, it is important to be adaptable every odd work that come on your way along with your actual responsibility. Never expect someone would come and push/ train you to delivery better or blame your manager for not able to spend time for grooming you to deliver your task. Its important to take a foot forward to stretch all your body, mind and soul to support your manager for giving the best out put.

Time for defining career goals steps with clarity as the cost of mistake is too high compared to the previous Job market and thousands of people are behind you to take the Opportunity.

Human Resources – Recruiter, Employee Relations Manager, generalist HR, C & B Specialist, Training Specialist, etc,

Future of IT Segment for Freshers and their First Jobs in India

Dear Friends,

You must be noticing that the change in the economic condition of US and all over the world is showing on the IT segment recruitments now a days. If you notice on any of the new cost cutting initiatives the following are adapted by large companies.

1- Stop the Recruitments (Unless emergency which may effect the revenue)
2- Training Initiatives are cutdown
3- Differ the recruitments of fresh graduates little later..
4- Look for freshers who can produce with least training investment by the companies

The current cost cutting would continue for some time to come... So all the graduates passingout and looking for opportunities to be aware of this phenomenon and plan accordingly.

Here are the few suggestions(not exhaustive) you may like to ponder to place yourself.

- Identify the other Industries growing and find the relevant position in such companies at the entry level
- Find the small and medium size organisation who have more domestic projects which may not get effected by the Economies around the world.
- Any new and innovative product development ( may be startup or small in size) who may want to start with a cost advantage (means low cost with high potential in people)
- Also try and work with companies which have a local presence and not big - the place where you can have a great exposure and someone is there to support you continusouly. Where your presence is more important for them.

Please do add your comments on how you would like to approch to this issue... Also read some of the inputs shared on this Blog of GR Reddy.

Thanks and All the Best.
