Step Plan to Career Change



Most people will change careers at least once in their working life. Job hunting in a new industry can be daunting. Here then, is our ten step plan to help your job hunting on a career shift.

1. Reality assessment. :-
Examine what you dislike about your current job. Are your problems genuinely about the job or due to an annoying boss/co-workers? Once you have figured that out, you know whether you really need a change. A career change is hard in most cases; don’t do it without sufficient reason.

2. Look within. :-
Will your dissatisfaction be lower if you moved to a different role or division in your company? Do look within your company for placements that can help you move to what you really want to do. Many companies are willing to give good employees a chance to switch roles and grow within the company.

3. Research alternatives. :-
Research alternative careers centered on something that is a passion for you. Says Sinha, “Go by what you “love” to do. Choose a field where every morning you want to go back to work with a smile. It’s never too late to shift fields if you are passionate about what you ‘want’ to do! Remember 3 Idiots?”

Meet people who have made the switch, ask them about the challenges they faced, talk to people in the industry you plan to move to, and ask as many questions as you need to figure out whether it excites you.

4. List your transferable skills. :-
Many skills like communication, planning or even certain technologies are transferable between specific professions. Ask a career counsellor or friend to help you list your transferable skills and achievements if you are unsure. This will also help you identify areas that you need to beef up on, for the new profession.

Says Chakrabarti, “Since it is for a different field, one should try and highlight some relevant skills which are more generic in nature. It also helps to highlight the numbers e.g. number of projects handled, number of people responsible for, the level of stakeholders etc. Most companies hire people not only for the current role, but for the potential they show to move up. In such cases, projections are often used.”

5. Re-train. :-
You will definitely need to beef up on new skills if you are planning on a career shift. Short term weekend courses are good if they suffice, or you could consider taking a sabbatical for a longer course if you can afford it. Ask people in the industry about what professional qualifications you need to make the change and follow up on that.

6. Get experience. :-
Whether through short term projects or unpaid internships, be prepared to invest time in the switch. Ask for an internship if possible for a couple of months to get a feel of the industry. It will add to your work experience and show prospective employers that you are serious about the switch.

7. Find a mentor. :-
It won’t be easy, but if you can find someone in the industry you want to enter, who is willing to take time out to mentor you, seize the opportunity. A mentor doesn’t have to be highly placed, but needs to be well connected in the industry to help you find your way in. A mentor can also help you sharpen the skills needed.

8. Make Job hunting a mission. :-
Contact prospective employers and placement agencies. Practise mock interviews and rehearse what you will say about why you want to switch -don’t get caught off guard when interviewers ask you. Tailor-make your resume to highlight previous job experience and skills relevant to the new career.

Prepare a 30 second pitch in case you meet a friend or acquaintance from the field you are looking at shifting to. A vague, ‘I’m looking for a job in your field’ doesn’t help. Go through your contacts list, and call, email or IM anyone you think could help. People are only too keen to help if they think you’re sincere and worth recommending. Be clear about what you need – advice, contacts or referrals and job leads. Be present on social/professional networking sites like LinkedIn. Follow up any leads or recommendations promptly and do not forget to thank those who take time out to help you.

9. Consult a professional. :-
To help you draft a professional resume and a cover letter. It will be worth the money invested.

10. Be flexible. :-
If you have no experience at all that qualifies you for the new job, be prepared to be flexible about everything from your designation, to salary to perks – you need the opportunity.

Malvika Arun, who is with the HR department of a media firm, adds that confidence in oneself is a must. “Typically, people high on confidence and having excellent communication skills tend to make a more positive impact on the recruiter.”

So, find out what you can offer, tell yourself that you have something valuable to offer the new industry and gear up to demonstrate that!

Jewelry Design Careers



ON THE back of a sizzling growth of the organised jewellery industry, striking job openings and exciting entry-level salaries, many specialised institutes catering to the industry have mushroomed in the recent past. It's a fine era to consider jewellery designing as a career preference.

India is the largest gems and jewellery market in the world (the domestic market is Rs 63,000 crore), but largely in the unorganised sector with a significant focus on gold. With the entry of big players like Tanishq, Swarovski, DeBeers, D'- damas, the shifting thrust on gems and stones rather than pure gold is giving a big push to the organised gems and jewellery industry.

Your grandma's old jewellery may be treasured and pricey heirlooms, but they simply do not hold a candle to the existing styles being worn. Jewellery these days is exclusive and contemporary. "People are very image cognizant. They don't want jewellery as a representation of financial security but to make a fashion statement and also as trends wear that suits different occasions."

* Getting Started :-
Previously, the single way to learn this skill was to be an apprentice to an experienced jeweler. But these days, one can take up a diploma course in jewellery design after school. Numerous institutes, all over India, present diploma courses in jewellery designing. A student has to pass an aptitude test and interview before qualifying for the course. One could be from any field. But an art background does help in the long run.

The course gives you essential information on the diverse kinds of stones, colour schemes in jewellery, design themes, presentation and framing, designing individual jewellery pieces, men's jewellery, costume jewellery, jewellery costing, etc. But to a professional in designing jewellery does not need formal training. A professional in any other field can take up jewellery designing workshops and set up a business production house.

* Opportunities :-
One can work in any of the following sectors:-
1. Jewellery designing house
2. Export house
3. Fashion house
4. Self-employment
5. Freelance designing
If you join an export house, you can see your new designs in the international market. Most of the students start their own business by setting up a production house.

As a freelance designer your job is to draw a design according to the specifications of the jewelers' house. You also need to direct the manufacturing of the jewellery by the craftsman of the jewellery house.

* What it takes? :-
1. There are no specific personality traits for jewellery designers. One can learn everything while getting trained. However, you just need a passion for the profession; otherwise there is no way one can learn.
2. A sense of design is imperative. Precision and attention to detail are also equally important for a successful jeweller. One should be very creative, imaginative and technically sound.
3. It's also important to have a working knowledge about manufacturing.
4.One should be well-versed with the fashion industry on the international front too.

* The Job :-
1. Jewellery designers prepare sketches - by hand or on the computer - to conceptualise the design. After consulting with the customer or the manufacturing team, designers fashion detail drawings, a structural model, computer simulations, or a full-scale prototype.
2. Computer models allow superior effortlessness and flexibility in exploring a number of design alternatives, thus reducing design costs and cutting the time it takes to deliver a product to market.
3. Designs are created on regular or floral patterns and then generate forms by connecting different structures together. The range of raw materials is exhaustive - from economical and easily available stuff like paper, wood, terracotta, jute, to highly priced Swarovski crystals!

Career Options in Fashion Industry

There are many ways to get involved in the fashion industry. For the more design minded, with an eye towards one day creating their own lines, working as an apprentice or an assistant for a professional designer would offer invaluable insight into the industry. In fact, most designers put in their time over the years by working their way through the ranks.

For those individuals who are more interested in a focus on fashion marketing, it might be helpful to get involved at the business level by working as a marketing assistant or advertising intern. Fashion marketers must also have a good sense of the fashion industry, so working for a design house in any entry level position would certainly provide a helpful perspective.

Many department stores and boutiques offer entry-level 'buyer' positions that would be a good way to get involved with fashion merchandising. Fashion merchandising offers many avenues to follow, including the following:

* Assistant Merchandiser, Assistant Merchandise Stylist, or Customer Service Representative for a fashion manufacturer;
* Assistant Sales Manager or Showroom Sales Representative in the fashion wholesaling business;
* Department Manager, Assistant Buyer, Assistant Fashion Promotion/Special Events Coordinator, or Visual Merchandising Assistant for a fashion retailer;
* Buying Office Assistant for a resident buying office;
* Advertising Representative or Stylist for an advertising agency.

Zoologist Career Information

* Job Description :-
Zoology is a broad field of biological science, focused specifically on animals. Zoologists may specialize in the study of a particular class of animals, such as birds (ornithology), mammals (mammalogy) or reptiles (herpetology). Through research and observation, zoologists uncover information about the origins, behaviors and development of particular species. They may conduct experiments in labs or in the field, examining both dead and living animals. Zoologists typically serve as researchers and teachers in colleges, universities and government agencies, though some may work as zookeepers.

* Salary Information :-
In May 2009, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that zoologists and wildlife biologists earned an average annual wage $60,670 (www.bls.gov). The executive branch of the federal government was the highest paying industry, offering a mean wage of $75,690 in that same year. Zoologists employed in metropolitan areas reportedly earned some of the highest average wages - up to $100,560 annually - offered in this occupation.

* Employment Outlook :-
According to the BLS, zoologist and wildlife biologist employment was expected to increase 13% from 2008-2018. It was projected that job growth would be affected by the increase in research and development of biotechnology, and in part to the ongoing struggle to protect the environment. Many research positions during this decade have been funded by the federal government; budget decreases may have offset job growth and increased competition among zoologists seeking research grants.
Zoologist Education Requirements

* Bachelor's Degree :-
The minimum education requirement for a career in zoology is a bachelor's degree. Some colleges and universities offer 4-year degree programs focused on general zoology. These programs typically involve both classroom and lab instruction, and courses may include animal behavior, invertebrate biology, vertebrate anatomy, physiology and ecology. Students may also choose to focus on specializations, such as ecology or cellular biology. According to the BLS, graduates of biology bachelor's degree programs may find employment as research technicians or high school teachers; however, advanced education may be required for some positions.

* Graduate Degree :-
Most field research positions in zoology and other areas of biology require a master's or doctoral degree. Doctoral degrees are generally required for positions in independent research at a university. Zoologists with master's degrees may be limited to teaching or lower-level fieldwork positions, such as applied researchers or research technicians.

While master's degree programs typically take two years to complete after undergraduate work, doctoral degree programs can last up to six years. Graduate degree programs generally combine classroom instruction, lab analysis and fieldwork in zoology. They may also require students to complete thesis projects or dissertations before graduating.

Future careers

When looking for careers in demand for the future, you need to consider what is driving the demand. The people who are part of the Baby Boom are starting to retire. The economy is still having issues. Technology is leaping forward quite quickly in business and personal uses.

All of this has a long-term impact on the jobs that will come out of the current situation. When looking at top careers in the future, you need to look at the areas where demand is highest. Certain categories of jobs have better futures than others will. By looking at the categories, you can see the jobs of the future.

Sales are the first of the top careers in demand for the future. If you have a talent for sales, you can likely have a job in hand within a few interviews. Any company that offers products or services to the public must have sales representatives of some sort. You can work on direct sales to people or on the continual emergence of online sales.

A sales representative is not a glorified customer rep. This person knows the products and services and works with customers to find the right fit. They focus on selling their company’s products by building relationships with their customers. A repeat customer is gold in the sales world.
Importance of technology to future careers

Another area of demand is technology. Many companies are using overseas companies to do programming. However, tons of companies here still need technical experts for analysis, design, systems engineering, and other computer work. Large corporations will have a continuing need for technical experts to keep the company’s data and systems secure.

With a bit of training you can start as a programmer and with experience and further education, you can move into areas with more responsibility. Security and engineering aspects of computers are areas where growth will continue to climb.

Number three of the list of top careers in demand for the future is teaching. Education drives much of the future economy choices. Many baby boomers are starting to retire. Many teachers are among that crowd. That means many teaching positions will start opening up at the elementary, secondary, and college levels in the next few years.

Technology is driving this need as well. Online instruction is an emerging opportunity in this area as well. Many teachers can setup classes one time and students can access them when they want. That will likely grow well into the future.

Health care is another area with the top careers in demand for the future. Baby boomers are aging and that drives up demand for gerontological specialists in nursing. However, there is also an increasing demand for technical specialist in radiology and other specialties.

Financial services ranks as number five in the list. Baby boomers need help with retirement. Their children and grandchildren are in the work force. It all means that financial advice is a necessity. And with recent economic difficulties, financial planning is even more important. Looking to the future shows that there are several paths to success.

Alternate Careers For Software Testers

1. Software developer / engineer: Aside from werewolf hunter, this is probably the most obvious career alternative, as great testers will eventually acquire the skills and understanding needed to succeed as a developer. But as a blog reader recently brought to my attention, this works both ways. He said that at his former place of employment, developers aspire to be testers, NOT the other way around. He writes, “ the Tester/QA path is the destination/pinnacle of the career path in SW development. You start out as a Jr. Programmer then… Sr. Programmer then… eventually Architect/System Designer…then…you eventually make it to Testing. Their thinking was that you can’t adequately test until you have proper understanding of the development process. In other words, you are truly considered an expert by the time you get to that level.”

2. Detective: Much like a detective, a tester’s bug-hunting prowess will depend largely on intuition – i.e. knowing the right questions to ask and having a sixth sense for odd irregularities. Testers are already possess the other traits found in successful detectives, including sound logic, analytical skills and patience. The only thing they are missing is an assistant named Watson and a trench coat. Both are available on Craigslist.

3. Journalist: There’s a very thin line between a tester and an investigative reporter. Like their journalistic counterparts, QA professionals must ask tough questions, dive deep into complex issues and report them to the layman in a clear, concise and objective manner. The hours stink and the pay is terrible, but there is some downside to the job however.

4. Actuary: As an actuary, it’s your responsibility to prepare and protect your client from risk in the financial world. Replace “financial” with “software” and you’ve got yourself a tester. Like QA pros, actuaries evaluate and quantify possible outcomes in order to minimize losses associated with uncertain undesirable events (like showstopper bugs). In this profession, you’ll need analytical skills, an understanding of human behavior and of the vagaries of information systems. Does that sound like it’ll be a problem?

5. Demolitionist: Sometimes, software testing really is about “breaking things.” So if testers can thrive while breaking web, desktop and mobile apps, it’s not much of a stretch to see them enjoy wrecking houses, office buildings and stadiums. And like real demolionists, testers must wield the virtual wrecking ball carefully, so as to not damage the surrounding structures.

6. Professor: As evidenced by the thousands of blog posts, forums chats, webinars and other mediums, testers have shown an amazing willingness to pass on what they have learned. A few notable testers who have already served in this role of professor (or course instructor) include James Whittaker, Cem Kaner, James Bach, Michael Bolton, Gerry Weinberg and dozens of others.

7. Architect: The same traits that would enable testers to thrive in demolishing buildings would also help in constructing them – that being knowledge of safety standards, usability and design, functionality, etc. As they say, “If you can build it, you can break it.”

8. Psychologist: Testers are often masters at understanding the mindset of their users. Not only do they know how the typical user will navigate a website; perform certain actions; respond to error screens, etc. – they know why they are likely to do it. So if you ever become bored with the mind of the everyday software user, perhaps you could try your hand at the mid-life crisis guy or those suffering from Apeirophobia (fear of infinity). For this job, you’re going to need a more comfortable couch.

Instead, one just needs to have a high school diploma, along with prior experience in customer service and sales, so that it is easy for him to deal with a variety of clients. However, many banks do require training in federal banking regulations, for the banking aspirant to have an idea of the kind of work he or she is going to deal with. Lastly, he should be well-versed with all the banking bits and nuances, with the ability to deal with multiple clients at the same time.
