  • vignesh asked:
  • Careers360 answered:

    Vignesh, it is important that you first earn a graduate degree. For most companies, a basic degree is the first and prime requirement. Do not get carried away by advertisements which promise the moon if you earn one certification or the other. Each of the industry certifications, have value, only if the company you seek to work uses that technology or application or has clients who do.

    In general, a specialised certification like SAP module would add value to you provided you have developed some amount of experience in coding or have gained substantial experience in the functional domain.

    So first go or for a basic degree, may be pursue a part-time MBA  and try and grow in the vertical. After you have gained some functional experience, if IT still interests and excite you do think about the certification.

  • vaishnavi asked:
  • Careers360 answered:

    Vaishnavy, careers in a core sector is not only challenging, but with the rise in competition for good engineers, it is rewarding as well. It is a myth that corporations do not prefer women engineers.

    Though a  bias did exisit in early 60s or 70s ( remember the story about Sudha murthy, who was intially rejected by Tata Motors?), it no longer applies. With the war for talent hotting up, corporations do not give any weight to to your gender.

    In fact with the increasing awareness about inclusivity, they go out of the way to increase the number of women in their technical workforce. All they would look for is, whether you are capable of working under streneous conditions, especially in heavy electrical industries. Electronics sector does not have the same level of physical rigour. So go ahead and apply.

  • Reema Olivera asked:
  • Careers360 answered:

    Reema, normally the diploma you have earned, is sufficient to begin work as a merchandiser, because you would already have learned about, fabric, construction, costing and  production. What you may not have learnined in depth is the nuanaces of export marketing as well as skills in documentation, which is a crucial part in export/ import business.

    Ideally if you have the, time and energy, you must go for the international business degree offered by  Insititutes like the IIFT. But that would mean first going in for an undergraduate degree. Another option is to pursue a diploma in export/import managment offered by many universitiies in distance learning mode.

    Work for a few years in smaller export firms, get some experince even while registering for a undergradate degree in correspondence. If you are working, go for some easier subjects like english literature. But a commerce degree might be more useful.

  • Ashish asked:
  • Careers360 answered:

    Dear Ashish, thanks for your question. You can pursue a media course after Class 12 or graduation. After Class 12, you can do a graduate degree in media, which is called the Bachelor of Mass Media, which gives you a basic exposure to various aspects of the media ie journalism, advertising, market research and film-making. You can get an entry-level position as a trainee, with a BMM. The second option is to finish your Bachelor's and then a post graduate degree or diploma in video production, journalism, market research and other specialisations. There is a rigourous entrance test for the best PG programmes in the country. See links below for more information. Good luck!

  • jasim akram asked:
  • Careers360 answered:

    Dear Jasima, thanks for posting your comment. Take heart that many people from a Hindi-speaking/ vernacular background have done very well in their careers (read stories posted below). There are several ways to improve your English. One, it's a good idea to read an English newspaper everyday. Circle the words you do not understand and clarify their meaning from the dictionary. Two, find someone who speaks good English and practice speaking with them everyday. Ask them to point out your mistakes as you speak. Don't feel embarrased when they do, as the only person to gain from this exercise is you! Three, watch the news in English everyday, especially channels such as BBC and CNN. Four, read a lot! If you can afford join an English language programme by a good institute such as the British Council. However, learning from the best is a must, or else you will need to unlearn it. Good luck in this journey!

  • ABHIJIT DUBEY asked:
  • Careers360 answered:

    Dear Reader, Do not get unduly worried about what you would do two years from now. If you have decided to pursue your postgraduation in construction managment, go ahead adn do it with full vigour. Do your studies well, reserach about intership and summer project opportunties and perform excellently. Corporations, especially in this field are acutely short of manpower. If they find you good, they will jump at the opportunity to grab you. So focus more on developing your capabilites. Rest would follow automatically.

  • saishrinivas asked:
  • Careers360 answered:

    Dear SS, at an M.Tech level you must be fairly more focusses. while power and control systems is largely focuses on a particular vertical power sector, a discipline like advanced control system or embedded systems engg has a much more wider scope. Each disicpline has its own advantages and disadvantages. In general infrastructure investment in India would be on the rise for the next decade or so if the India growth story remains intact. So you definitely have good opportuntiy for power sector specialists. But we are not sure about the relative merits of one college versus the other. Also Indian corporations are not very enormoured by UK degrees nowadays. Unless it is from a highly rated UK university. Check for the Reserach and Assessment Ratings ( RAF) of your university in the domain you have selcted. Also you must consider, the possibility of scholarship.
