Nasscom Report IT Industry Trend - Product or Project?

If you are searching for a job in the IT sector, you may be wondering how is the Indian software scenario. You may also be wondering if you want to join a product-based company or project-based company. What is the difference between a product and a project? A product is something the company develops internally with its own specifications. A project is done for an external client.

Addressing the ninth edition of product conclave, NASSCOM President Som Mittal said the product landscape has exponentially grown in India over the years. This is because the focus has now shifted from the services sector to products. Som Mittal said "And in an effort to pursue this vision, NASSCOM is making representations with governments across levels, recommending them to set up an entrepreneurship mission, change in procurement guidelines and access to funding."

NASSCOM predicts that the year 2013-2014 will be very good for the software industry. The software exports from India will meet the 11-14 percent growth in the current financial year. NASSCOM says the IT sector, which crossed USD 100 billion mark last year, will clock at least double-digit growth this year. The 'NASSCOM AWSME India Survey 2012' released at the event said technology and software providers are considerably interested in the Indian SME market because of the immense rise in numbers and growth potential of this category.

Team Building Game

Team building is developed by making the participants to get into some games or activities. There are several games for Team Building. Let us look at one such game. 

 

Coin Logo

Time Required: 5-10 minutes

Begin by asking all participants to empty their pockets, purses, and wallets of any coins they may have and place them on the table in front of them. If someone doesn’t have any coins or only has very few, others in the room can share their coins with them. Instruct each person to create their own personal logo using the coins in front of them in just one minute. Other materials they may have on them, such as pens, notebooks, wallets, etc. can also be used in creation of the logo. If there is a particularly large group, people can be broken up into teams of 3-6 people and instructed to create a logo that represents them as a team or the whole room can gather to use the coins to create a logo for the organization/group/department/etc. Each solitary participant can explain their logo to the group or if the room was split into groups, the leader can have each group discuss what led to the team logo and what it says about them. Not only does this activity promote self and mutual awareness, but it also enables participants to get to know each other on a more personal level.

The MCSM - Microsoft Certified Solutions Master Certification Courses Training in Chennai

MCSE and MCSD certifications are prerequisites for some of the Microsoft Certified Solutions Master (MCSM) certifications. These certifications better prepare you to pursue an MCSM certification by validating the full range of skills and abilities required to be successful at building technology solutions. MCSE and MCSD certifications also validate more difficult skills than the Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) and help to bridge the gap between the MCITP and the level of knowledge required for Master-level certifications.

Microsoft Certified Solutions Master (MCSM) certifications validate skills that are deeper and broader than those validated by MCM certifications, skills that are required to build solutions both on-premises and in the cloud. Microsoft added recertification requirements to ensure that IT professionals who hold our certifications are up-to-date on our continually evolving technology. MCSM certifications require recertification every three years.

SLA Career Tips: What not to tell at your Job Interview...

As a fresher or a job-seeker, you will be looking out for lot of jobs. But you need to know how to handle an interview and what not to do at an interview.

Don't tell the employer that you are nervous. The employer already knows candidates are nervous for their job interviews. If you fumble during your interview, don’t use nervousness as an excuse. Pick up from where you left off and speak with confidence.

Never ask about salary during the interview. This is a topic the interviewer will bring up at their discretion. Once the interviewer explains compensation and benefits, you may ask questions regarding the topic.

Trash-talking your boss during an interview shows a lack of professionalism. Never bring up a past experience during your interview that would cause you to speak poorly about the person or job.

The employer realizes you are applying for the job because you are searching for employment. They don’t need to know exactly why you need the job or any personal details. It isn’t necessary to state how desperate you are for the position and you don’t need to say anything that would cause a red flag for the employer. 

While you are concerned about advancing your career, it’s important not to tell the interviewer this position serves only as a stepping stone to better employment. Employers want to know how you can help their company – not how their company will benefit you.

Always research the company before the interview. Make sure you know what the company values and if there are any awards they’ve received. 

Interviewers will ask details about your internships and previous jobs. Be prepared to share accomplishments from each experience and how the skills you gained relate to the position.

Before you even apply for the job, make sure you understand what the description entails. During the interview, you will be expected to explain how your background relates to the position. If there were some details you were unclear about when you applied, bring a list of questions to the interview.

By avoiding these mistakes, you will already be ahead in the interview process. As long as you are confident and educate yourself about the position, you will increase your likelihood of landing the job. 

Do you want to be well prepared to face an interview? Do you want to equip yourself with both technical as well as soft skills. Then join SLA. If you want to be a part of this wonderful learning experience, join SLA now! For more details visit SLAChennai or dial (91 44) 4200 5050/90.
