There are a few positions that are always in demand and are hard to fill such as sales representatives, engineers, technicians, drivers, accounting and finance professionals, secretaries and receptionists. Prepping up for these is a good idea if you’re in the transitional stage of changing career paths. When applying for these, it is important to highlight relevant skills in your CV.

Apply:

About one-fourth of survey participants reported that there was a dearth of applicants. This could be the result of lack of perusing opportunities assuming that their resumes won’t even be read nor will they be called for interview.
This is so untrue. The employers not only see the resumes but they also call and have interviews scheduled. So, applying is the first step. So, instead disbelieving and giving up on an opportunity, go ahead and absolutely APPLY! You sure will be surprised at the responses youll get.

Job description – A must read!:

About one fifth of the survey participants opined that they had to rejects the applicants because they did not meet the required criteria such as experience or skill. Although, as stated above, it is important to apply, it is also important to apply only if you have met he eligibility criteria.  If you are switching career paths, make sure you mention that clearly in the cover letter or the resume.

More that 50% of the employers today are investing in training the hired candidates to prepare them for optimum performance. This is an additional bonus cause it gives you an opportunity to add more feathers to your cap that you can flaunt for your next change. This also helps building network if the training is being provided through external sources.

Attractive and Higher Salaries:

According to Mercer Consulting, average pay increase this year is expected to be 2.9 percent.  This is happening only because it is a job seekers market. Employers are willing to pay more not only cause of candidate shortage but they would also make their employees feel valuable and important. Considering the above it can be concluded that it is a fairly good time to explore opportunities.

Perky perks:

With about 27% employers providing extra perks to new hires, this is un arguably the best time to look for a new job.
Along with the very pleasing salary boosting, employers are realizing more and more that it is equally important to provide tasty perks to get a better deal from the resource. This could range anywhere between, free lunches, additional pay-offs,  and joining bonuses.  

So, wait not!


Equip yourself to get posted and make the most out this precious year that holds all gold for job seekers!

10 pro-tips to nail your next Skype interview!

Etiquette of conducting oneself on a Skype interview is very different from personal or a phone interview, but learning to do it right can get you fat chances of making it to the job!

Skype interviews have been gaining immense popularity and significance in the past decade and will soon replace personal interviews. These online/video interviews can actually be the bridge between both worlds; face-to-face interview minus the hectic travel schedules.



Regardless of who is interviewing you, it is absolutely important to be ready to impress the one on the screen!
Here are a few tips:

1. Prepare your surroundings. 

It’s important to see that place you pick is quiet and pleasing to the eye without any distractions or loud objects in the surroundings. A neutral and tidy backdrop is ideal. The only dominant/focal point of on the screen must be you!

2. Dress the part. 

Whether it is on Skype or in person doesn’t really dictate your dressing. Dress professionally as you would for a formal face to face interview. It is very much expected and will not be excused. 

3. Look at the camera, not the screen.

As funny as it may sound this is a real-time pitfall. It’s a natural tendency to watch ourselves or the interviewer, but eye contact is important you see! And the only way to get t right is look into the camera and not the screen. 

4. Practice, practice and more practice.

Skype interviews can a bit awkward and funny specially the first few times and also it Is not easy to look into the cam and not the screen. It makes perfect sense to practice several times back and forth and ensure there are no glitches when you ra e finally doing the real one; come across like a pro!

5. Close other programs on your computer. 

Well, the social bugs that we are, we always have several stations open on the system popping notifications about the updates! This can be trouble maker. Be safe than sorry – Close all other tabs! 


6. Use notes.

The best part of a Skype interview is that you can keep your notes handy and don’t have to be worried about missing important points. It’s sensible to keep your resume handy and some other chits as required that you can quickly refer if need be. Keep them short and not lengthy. Also, use these only if required as it can look very shoddy if you pause at every question. Use them sparingly.

7. Avoid interruptions.

Interruptions by people and pets can be disaster if you are doing an interview from home. Make it a pint to inform everyone at home beforehand about your interview and ensure they will not disturb you. 

8. Keep your profile professional. 

Since you are not there in person, your profile will make the first impression; you got to ensure it’s the best! We mean your profile picture and Skype user name. Avoid fancy names and keep it real, neat and professional. 

9. Watch your body language.

A good and relaxed posture is the key. This is the important thing that pretty much defines your confidence on an online interview. This will only couple with the eye contact we were discussing earlier on. Remember – POSTURE! 

10. Set the audio right. 

This is an important and often neglected point. You don’t want you both to be screaming “do you hear me now?” into the mike, do you? Set the Skype audio before hand  to make sure you both can hear and be heard without any problem.

All organizations, large and small, have non-management employees who act as resume filters because managers don't have time to consider every applicant. This means secretaries and human resource assistants judge your resume first; these people may only have seconds to judge your resume before moving on to the next one in the pile.

In today’s job market, you have to make sure that your resume stands out from the tall pile.
                                             


 Here are few tips to get your resume noticed:         
·    ATS looks for the same keywords as that of mentioned in job postings and will screen the         resumes only if those keywords are included .so you must be careful about mentioning those keywords in your resume.
·         If your resume is posted in websites like naukri.com or some other job related websites keep it updated, the resumes which are frequently updated will be noticed easily.
·         As said First impression is the best, recruiters don’t have time to go through whole of your resume. So, avoid grammatical mistakes or spelling mistakes, hardly an employer looks at your resume for 6 to 15seconds.In that few seconds you need to create a good impression and should make him to consider your resume for further process.
·         Don’t mention “RESUME” on top your resume rather mention your name and contact details there.
·         Don’t use graphics or visual appeals or too many colors, they will make your resume look unprofessional.                                           
·         Do use bullets or numbering for clearly mentioning your achievements or for mentioning your skills.

·         Use simple fonts and minimum readable size for characters.
·         Give enough space between each line, so as to make it visible and clear.
·         Update your resume with relevant skills to that those of mentioned in job description.
·         Simply, don’t send the pre-prepared resume for all jobs ,for example if you have a resume prepared for the post of software developer don’t send the same, if the job posting is for the post of software tester do change the skills With those related to testing and then apply for the post.
·         Mention achievements, whatever you have achieved must be mentioned because it gives recruiters idea about what you can do for the company and it also lets them know how passionate you are about things.
 ·     Avoid technical problems, like if you have saved your resume in word format immediately change it into PDF, to avoid technical problems like formatting of text when recruiters open them.

Time Management - An important aspect that leads to success

                               Managing time is an important aspect that you should actually care about .managing time doesn’t mean you need to work longer but it means to work smarter in turn reduce stress and increase productivity. It’s an important factor in life, whether you are working or self employed or looking for a job or a student whatever your profession is you need effective time management.
                              If you are unable to complete any task by the time you have to complete them, don’t say you didn’t have enough time. You have exactly same number of hours per day that were given to other people. You can’t make excuses rather say you didn’t organize things properly.
If you are the person who doesn’t have enough time to complete your tasks, here are few tips for you to organize time:

1.       Make to-do list: plan your day before it unfolds. Make a list on paper or on computer or anywhere you feel comfortable. Just note down the things you need to complete for that day, it will help you to have overview of how the day will plan out and also helps you to remember things.

2.       Prioritize tasks: As you have made a list of things to do for the day now prioritize the things from the list. It may not be possible to get all the things done but you can finish the most important tasks and urgent tasks first. It’s helpful to number those tasks like 1, 2, 3 or ABC etc to mark their priority.


                                                                     

3.       Have buffer time in between: when you rush from task to task, take breaks in between they will help to keep your mind fresh and you will be able to return with better focus. While taking a break, go for a short walk or take a power nap or any other exercise to refresh your mind.

4.       Multi Tasking: Multi tasking is not a skill that all of us possess. Realize whether you are that kind of person or not. If you are, that’s great. If you are not don’t even bother or try to do that because, eventually this leads to many tasks being started but left unfinished. So, if you are a multi tasker you should know when to multi task and when not to. If you have mundane tasks to complete multi task them.

5.       Learn to say no: your time and resources are limited you can’t say yes to every request. So, learn when to say no.

                                        


6.       Stop procrastinating: Don’t think I have a lot of time will do it later when ‘m free or don’t give excuses like ‘m busy or I have done enough for today. Complete the work as per schedule and set time limit for every target that will make you more focused.

7.       Get a good sleep: Everyday 7 to 8hours of sound sleep is important for every individual. Your brain needs rest to perform its best. So, if you have still things to do keep them aside you can continue with them next day. If you don’t get sleep it will affect next day’s schedule too.

                                                        



Being organized or following schedule will definitely help you to save time, relieves from stress and depression. It is necessary to manage time in whatever profession you are. So, follow these few tips and make your life tension free.

Significance of Soft-Skills for Job Placements

Have you ever wondered why people who have less or not even minimum technical skills are hired but not those who have sound technical skills? There are many points the recruiters consider, one of them could be their soft skills.

Why soft skills are so important?
Let us first see which skills are considered as soft skills in general perspective…..

1.       The ability to communicate with people effectively, communication is the key to get hired, as you progress in your career or even if you are at the basic level you need to communicate with different people they could be from front desk people to anybody at the manager level or if it’s a start up or tiny firm may be there would be a need to even communicate with firm’s CEO. So, communication skills play an important role to get you hired.

2.       Problem solving ,plays an important role as many recruiters at the time of interview try to analyze how do you respond to particular situation by posing different questions and try to put you under pressure, they want to check how well you can handle a situation, even if you don’t have the least idea about it.

3.       Adaptability, as the technology is emerging every day you need to keep yourself updated with the latest trends related to your field. Adaptability at your work place is also expected.

4.       Teamwork, you can call it even cooperation but it’s one of the key aspects which should be maintained as an employee moves forward in career. Working collaboratively with team also determines how he can work with different from people from different backgrounds.
                                  
                                              

                                         

Importance of soft skills:
                               One needs to be good at these basic skills to climb the corporate ladder as these are the key skills even if you have technical skills these soft skills play important role to get you job placement. People with only Technical skills will be able to survive in the team but people with soft skills along with technical skills will have more chances to make path in the corporate industry. Organizations are looking for people who have good soft skills and people who can maintain good relation within the organization and with its clients. If you are a fresher or experienced you just need to have these skills if you want to have a career growth in the IT sector. Not only in corporate sector in any sector you have to posses these skills to be successful. Most people especially fresh graduates lack these soft skills definitely they have good technical skills but not good soft skills. So, from their college days they themselves have to inculcate these skills so that they don’t have to face rejections in job placements after they graduate.

                              


Difference between Technical skills and soft skills:

                                  Technical skills are those skills which you learn in your college or at training institutes which provide you only with technical knowledge related to your field for e.g. you are a software developer you will be having technical knowledge related to software programming like C#, ASP .NET, Java or Hadoop etc. If you are into testing you will be having technical knowledge related to manual testing or automated testing these technical skills vary depending on your profession. 

Along with these technical skills you need to have soft skills because when a recruiter has to choose between a person with sound technical skills and sound soft skills he will prefer person with good soft skills. Soft skills come to your rescue when you need to explain a non technical person some complex technical problem which is one of the main things which recruiters are looking to provide job placement.
                      



                    So, it is better to be prepared before hand by taking soft skills training or by practicing them so that you don’t need to rush at the last moment.
