Your First Job During Recession

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0400

If you are a fresh graduate looking for your first job, the times could not have been tougher. The global economic downturn and its impact on the job market is for all to see. While companies across sectors across the globe are cutting jobs to control costs, there has been little or no hiring in companies. Some companies that are still hiring are doing it only on strict need basis. Thus, for graduates looking for fresher jobs, it has become very tough to land a job to launch their career. Barring a few, engineering colleges and B-schools across the country are finding it tough to place students. The placement cells in colleges and university campuses are working overtime to invite companies and arrange jobs for the passing out batch. People who are already employed are hanging on to their jobs and attrition levels are at an all-time low leading to no fresh hiring. There may have been no increments or promotions but people are getting a pay cheque at the end of the month which is enough to make them stick to their job. **End Summary** Topics: firstnaukri.com]]> firstnaukri]]> fresher]]> freshers]]> jobs]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Geetika Jain writes on behalf of FirstNaukri.com, a leading job portal for fresher jobs in India.

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0400

As a fresh graduate out in the job market looking for suitable job opportunities for freshers, you will realize that there are many candidates for the same job and some get an advantage over the others. So, what is it about some candidates that let them have an advantage? It is the soft skills. It is these skills that set two candidates apart from each other and make one more employable than the other. Jobs for freshers have increased manifold in India over last many years, yet it does not guarantee a job for every fresh graduate. The problem lies in the skills gap. Even qualified and degree-holding graduates may not be employable because they do not have good presentation skills, good communication skills or a good knowledge of computers. These thing are not taught during formal education so it is important to upgrade your skills by signing up for a course that teaches you all this. A personality grooming course or a language course or a basic course in computers is all that you may need to land that first job in your career. The undergraduate education in India is not such that it churns out immediately employable graduates. **End Summary** Topics: firstnaukri.com]]> firstnaukri]]> fresher]]> freshers]]> jobs for fr]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Geetika Jain writes on behalf of FirstNaukri.com, a leading job portal for fresher jobs in India.
