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.

The TCP/IP Protocol Suite - Computer Networking Training in Chennai

The TCP/IP suite of protocols provides a set of standards for how operating systems and applications communicates and how networks are interconnected. The TCP/IP suite of protocols maps to a four-layer conceptual model known as the Department of Defense (DOD) model. The four layers are as follows:

Network Access Layer – The network access layer is responsible for placing data on the network medium and receiving data off the network medium. This layer contains physical devices such as network cables and network adapters.

Internet Layer – The internet layer is responsible for addressing, packaging, and routing the data that is handed down to it from the transport layer. There are four core products in this layer: IP Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)

Transport Layer – The transport layer protocols provide communication sessions between computers. The desired method of data delivery determines the transport protocol. The two transport layer protocols are TCP and User Datagram Protocol(UDP).

Application Layer – At the top of the model is the application layer, in which applications gain access to the network. There are many standard TCP/IP tools and services in the application layer, such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Telnet, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), DNA, and so on.

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.
