Lost your job in this recession?


 p3b

Most people drive through life looking in their rearview mirror and judging the future by the past. They have a really good view of where they have been and mistakenly think the future will be similar to the past as they make decisions based on their previous experiences. Even though past experience gives a base for the future, there are many employability factors to take into account as you plan to grab one of the best jobs in 2010 and beyond. 

The future work world will be even more global. If your job is not one that requires you to physically be in one place, i.e. serving food, washing windows and stocking grocery shelves, you will be competing with bright and hungry workers in India, China, Korea and other developing nations around the globe.  bbon28l

 

 

 

 

Competing in the new environment will require higher levels of competence and necessitate looking straight ahead, not constantly glancing rearview mirror for warm fuzzy feelings about what you have achieved in the past. 

Here are 10 skills to acquire and refine that will increase your professional confidence level and make you more employable in the 21st Century:

1. Constantly adapt to technology. Dependency on technology in the future will increase, not decrease. Spend time learning new computer programs but more importantly, make applications to your daily routine and strive to use technology as an enabler of productivity, not as a neat new toy with tons of cute features that you don’t use. To decide if the new gadget is worth the time, ask yourself, “Does this make time or waste time?” 

2. Embrace diversity. Get comfortable with other ethnic cultures, religions and customs. Be curious about what makes people from other cultures tick. Learn a little about the customs and attitudes that belong to workers from other countries. The time will be well spent as you begin to relate human to human, not human to inhabitant of another country. 

3. Be a life-long learner. When you finished your last college course did you utter a sigh of relief and mumble something like, “Whew, glad I’m finished with my education!” Surprise…the new century will require you to be a continuous learner. Be prepared to reinvent yourself, the pool of information in your brain and your work-related skills every 4-5 years. 

4. Practice impeccable integrity. Employers need to feel your spirit and have the quiet assurance that you are honest. Even one person in an organization who takes advantage of company assets for personal gain causes untold rules and regulations. Taking integrity beyond just simple honesty, however, means that when you commit to a deadline, you are fully committed to producing results, not excuses. 

5. Be a self-starter. Fire yourself up or look forward to being the first to go when bottom lines dip into the red, a recession lurks around the corner or the next merger takes place. Those who learn to work on the optimistic side of life not the pessimistic side of life, are more valuable to the organization as they create a positive work environment that produces higher productivity. 

6. Demonstrate personal discipline. Employers want to hire people who have disciplined work habits and disciplined thinking. The more disciplined the worker, the less time managers must spend rethinking, retracing and reworking…basically worrying if you will be reliable. When you demonstrate personal discipline, you and your manager can spend more time on solving problems and moving the company forward. 

7. Prioritize and evaluate daily. Two of the biggest time wasters in the world are not knowing where to start when you get to work in the morning and working on low priority items. To compete in the global work environment takes meticulous prioritization of tasks and the ability to identify the highest priority item that you tackle first every morning. 

8. Be adaptable. To stave off obsolescence, organizations must constantly change and regularly introduce change initiatives. Often employee resistance derails plans for updating processes and procedures and stalls company progress. To increase employability in 2010, learn to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Ask tough questions that define the future and actively look for ways to support the new change initiatives. 

9. Think creatively and innovatively. Contributing to your organization in 2010 demands thinking outside of the box and looking for creative ways to solve nagging problems, increase productivity or produce a new product or service. When a challenge presents itself, be the first to offer a new viewpoint, discover an alternative or recommend another course of action. Your ideas combined with the creative ideas from other employees will help your organization renew itself as necessary to be competitive in the 21st Century. 

10. Have the Can-Do attitude. Immerse yourself in all the available positive mental attitude material you can find. Negatives are thrown at you the entire day from the news, next door neighbors and the nerd in the next cubicle. Teams face hurdles to productivity which causes dissention among members. Management faces stockholder dissatisfaction and product deadlines. To compound the problem, your mind naturally generates negative thoughts before positive thoughts. You have to train your mind to see the positive, to find the positive and to see the opportunity lurking in the obstacle. If you can master the positive can-do attitude, you will add value to every thing you touch and be more employable in an increasing negative world. 

Some of these skills will be relatively simple and others may be difficult for you to implement. As you improve in each area mentioned above, however, you will increase in confidence and competence and create an environment where you add value to the organization and a need for your personal services. You will have greater job stability.

Christmas Happiness and Psychological Health Through Giving:


Christmas is a time for giving and giving is the act of generosity. It nourishes love in our relationships and builds the human spirit. Research shows that people who give without expectation and who do not feel diminished by the act of giving are the most psychologically healthy in our society today. Here are seven benefits of giving: 

1. Builds Relationships - giving reinforces appreciations and acknowledgement of each other and thus is an important ingredient for building relationships. 

2. Deepens Relationships - by sharing past and future thoughts we give of our selves in an intimate way. It can be a wonderful ritual such as at Christmas to come together and openly give and share feelings, experiences and wishes for the coming year. This deepens relationships as we share and express more of who we are. 

3. Expresses Feelings - giving is a way to express and show feelings especially if you are not comfortable expressing feelings through words. Giving is an opportunity to express a whole range of feelings such as gratitude, appreciations and thanks. 

4. Creates Memories - through giving we have many ways to create and leave lasting memories. Our willingness to care, show interest, give time, loyalty, honesty and by going out of our way to do something extra for someone else such as preparing a special meal, writing a special verse on why we love and cherish someone or making a special gift as a symbol of our love, are some of the ways we can give and create lasting memories. 

5. Creates Predictability - we all love predictability; especially children as it gives them a sense of security. Through the predictable act of giving especially at birthdays and Christmas celebrations, the expectation of appreciations, acknowledgement, love and being made to feel extra special is created by the ritual of giving. 

6. De-stressor - giving is all about looking outside of ourselves with no expectation of anything in return. It is putting others first for concentrated moments in time. The ritual of giving takes the focus off ourselves and our stresses in life are handled with a more balanced focus. 

7. Creates Miracles - connecting into the community by giving has huge benefits. It reinforces love in all our lives. It creates leverage which creates miracles when together we give for the greater good. 

Giving is an expression of our love. We give in many ways with our supportive words, our listening, attention and giving of our time and of course through material giving too. Giving materially, emotionally and physically is the glue that holds people together and is a way to renew our love for one another, create lasting cherished memories, deepen relationships and create psychological health and happiness for ourselves! 

Wishing you all a very happy christmas!!

SANTA SAYS, "TEACH THE CHILDREN"

Just a week before Christmas I had a visitor. This is how it happened...I just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed, when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room and to my surprise, Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree.

He placed his finger over his mouth so I would not cry out. "What are you doing?" I started to ask. The words choked up in my throat, and I saw he had tears in his eyes. His usual jolly manner was gone.

Gone was the eager, boisterous soul we all know. He then answered me with a simple statement. "TEACH THE CHILDREN!" I was puzzled; what did he mean?

He anticipated my question, and with one quick movement brought forth a miniature toy bag from behind the tree. As I stood bewildered, Santa said, "Teach the children! Teach them the old meaning of Christmas. The meaning that now-a-days Christmas has forgotten."

Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR TREE and placed it before the mantle. "Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round, depicting the everlasting hope of mankind, all the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven."

He again reached into his bag and pulled out a brilliant STAR. "Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a Savior for the world, and the star was the sign of fulfillment of His promise."

He then reached into his bag and pulled out a CANDLE. "Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see this great light we are reminded of He who displaces the darkness."

Once again he reached into his bag and removed a WREATH and placed it on the tree. "Teach the children that the wreath symbolizes the real nature of love. Real love never ceases. Love is one continuous round of affection."

He then pulled from his bag and ornament of HIMSELF. "Teach the children that I, Santa Claus symbolize the generosity and good will we feel during the month of December."

He then brought out a HOLLY LEAF. "Teach the children that the holly plant represents immortality. It represents the crown of thorns worn by our Savior. The red holly represents the blood shed by Him."

Next he pulled from his bag a GIFT and said, "Teach the children that God so loved the world that he gave..." "Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift. Teach the children that the wise men bowed before the holy babe and presented him with gold, frankincense and myrrh. We should always give gifts in the same spirit of the wise men."

Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a CANDY CANE and hung it on the tree. "Teach the children that the candy cane represents the shepherds' crook. The crook on the staff helps to bring back strayed sheep to the flock. The candy cane is the symbol that we are our brother's keeper."

He reached in again and pulled out an ANGEL. "Teach the children that it was the angels that heralded in the glorious news of the Savior's birth. The angels sang Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace and good will toward men."

Suddenly I heard a soft twinkling sound, and from his bag he pulled out a BELL. "Teach the children that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell, it should ring mankind to the fold. The bell symbolizes guidance and return."

Santa looked back and was pleased. He looked back at me and I saw that the twinkle was back in his eyes. He said, "Remember, teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put me in the center, for I am but a humble servant of the One that is, and I bow down to worship Him, our Lord, our God."

Wishing you all a very happy christmas!!
With love

CAREER OR DO VALUES SUCH AS SERVING THE NATION ALSO COUNT FOR SOMETHING?


IS MONEY THE BE-ALL AND END-ALL OF A CAREER OR DO VALUES SUCH AS SERVING THE NATION ALSO COUNT FOR SOMETHING? FLIGHT CADET TANMAYA NAIK AND CALL CENTRE ASSOCIATE GIRISH BABLANI INDULGE IN A WAR OF WORDS


Flight Cadet Tanmaya Naik is a Thane resident. She is currently undergoing training at Air Force Academy (AFA), Hyderabad.

POINT:
I believe that choosing the career you want is your right and working towards it is a challenge. As a kid, I always dreamt of soaring in the skies but during my formative years, there was no awareness about opportunities. Back then, I was almost about to forgo my dream and 'go with the flow'. However, in college, I made some friends who were in the NCC Air Wing.Through them, I came to know of this option and I realised - I can turn my dream into reality!

Whenever the topic of a career came up among my friend-circle, the options discussed would always be conventional ones such as engineering,business,law,etc.I concede it was tough to break away and pursue something completely different,yet which I loved very much. But it's only the will to make a difference that can get you through.

My parents were totally supportive of my decision to join the Indian Air Force (IAF) and backed me throughout.Truly speaking, there is nothing unconventional about the IAF. It has been home to thousands of air warriors since 1932. A career in the IAF is like any other challenging profession. If you have the grit in you and are prepared to dedicate your life to the forces, if you dream of a career full of challenges and adventure and want to lead a disciplined and healthy life, then I must say that IAF is the right place to be.

To get in, you must qualify the Service Selection Board (SSB) examination as also meet other required criteria like medical, educational qualifications and age. IAF offers you a vast spectrum of career options either in the 'Ground Duties Branch'or the 'Flying Branch'. In the ground duties, we have logistics, accounts, education, administration, meteorology and aeronautical engineering. In the flying branch can be a pilot or a navigator. Irrespective of any branch, the Air Force Academy (AFA) is the Alma Mater of all the air warriors.

Since I am in the flying branch, I will focus on that. People in the flying branch, after successful completion of the rigorous training imparted at AFA for a year, are trifurcated into 'Transport','Choppers' and 'Fighters'branches for further training at Bangalore and Hyderabad.They then get commissioned as 'Flying Officers'in the IAF. Here, everyone is given an equal opportunity to prove himself or herself without any bias.You get to see different places in India and it teaches you to adjust and accommodate to different cultures and people. Apart from giving you a sense of satisfaction and achievement every single day, the 'job'comes with many perquisites for you and your family. Like they say,'The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war'. Of course, being a pilot comes with a risk factor attached which is eliminated if you are good at your skills.

Just as I was leaving for training at AFA, a friend said to me,"You could have led a relaxed life had you taken up a conventional job with a fat pay packet."I asked him,"Will that fat pay packet be enough to buy the pride of serving the nation as well as the satisfaction of realising my dream?"

Girish Bablani is a Mumbai-based Call Centre Associate.

COUNTERPOINT:
I'm an English-speaking graduate.I don't wear a uniform.Thousands of people have the same designation as I,and it is easily gotten.I'm a Call Centre Associate.I don't have the traditional social life as I work nights and rotating shifts.Why? Survival.I could go on acquiring qualifications with no rewarding employment in sight.At least this job pays.And let's get real; we live in a materialistic world.Ideals sound good in speeches and look good on paper.That's it.I need money.And money is what this job gives me.If the money is good,what else matters?

You're told about great people who didn't make it to the IAF and other defense forces:President Kalam, Amitabh Bachchan,Rahul Dravid...But have you heard of any great people rejected from call centres?

In a civilian job, you're giving a certain number of hours for your salary. In the armed forces, you're giving your life.You can't claim your Fundamental Rights.There's a separate set of laws for you.

Compared to the defense services,civilian jobs do have fatter pay packages.What they don't have are the perks.For defense personnel,CSD canteens provide subsidised rations.Military hospitals have some of the best doctors.Children of army-men get preferential quotas in reputed government schools.Officers indulge in expensive pursuits like polo,paragliding, etc as compared to plain old hiking and river-rafting in the civil arena.In a civilian job,you may get the odd foreign junket,but compare this to lucrative postings for army officers as Presidential Escorts or even,postings abroad.What gets more respect - a well-earned uniform,or an easily-available executive suit?

In spite of the obvious answer,I made my choice.I prefer my freedom in the call centre,the freedom of being able to chuck this job if I don't like it.I'm not into adventure sports anyway.And what's the point of subsidised rations when I can afford the best foreign brands? I prefer pleasant air-conditioned environs to chilly mountains and blazing deserts and lonely jungles.No armed forces for me.I'm happy right here.

Lastly, I have the freedom to chart my own success. Learning on the job, gaining process knowledge, perfecting the easy procedures, I can grow to the managerial level before I'm 30.Which other job gives you that kind of growth? I can work out at gyms that my employer has tie-ups with. Every quarter, we have our 'Rewards and Recognition' programmes.The company pays for us to have fun, celebrate achievements. If I perform really well, I may be posted abroad. I can pursue higher education at subsidised rates within office premises. So what am I missing? Nothing. I work in pleasant environs and earn well. My life rocks! What about yours?

AFMC Entrance Exam 2009 scheduled on May 3

The Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC),Pune will conduct an entrance exam for admission to its MBBS Course on May 3, 2009.

Aspiring students will have to appear in a competitive written test of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Intelligence, Logic, Reasoning, English Language and Comprehension.

South Indian Students Eager To Fly To UK


25,000 engineering graduates, in Bangalore alone, are produced every year. But a recent survey shows that more than 30% of them are not skilled enough to be employed. In other words, they don’t know what they’ve studied or why they took it up in the first place.


There may be several reasons for this such as parental pressure, and so on. But the Indian education system is one of the prime culprits.


The story behind all this is that a teacher invests about two hours per subject to cram in the facts, figures, and derivations concerning it. But very little is being done to introduce the subject in a holistic sense. The relevance of the subject in the real world is hardly being emphasized.


Considering the fact that the student does take pains to understand the subject on her own, more often than not, she meets a dead-end called exam, which reinforce the adage: curiosity killed the cat.


Some solutions to this are: Reduce the number of hours. Perhaps about one and half hours must be devoted to dwell on details concerning subject, and spend half an hour explaining its larger purpose and motivate them to study it.


Exams must be made as unpredictable as possible. Standard question patterns in exams is a deterrent to learning. In reality, its ignorance that kills the cat but curiosity gets framed. Grades must bank on project work, interviews, interaction with peers and professors and, most importantly, on classroom discussions.

Game Designer Education - The Facts


If you want to become a game designer then you will need to gain the appropriate education. While some game designers have gained stable employment by simply showing their portfolio, this situation is becoming increasingly rare. Nowadays employers want to see where and what you have studied and where you received your degree. Of course, they will also want to see your portfolio which means working on games in your spare time or as study projects is the best way to present yourself to an employer once you've received the proper education. Most good game design schools now incorporate work experience into their courses and as such you will leave school with real world practical experience as well as the knowledge learned at school or college.

Where to Get a Game Design Education

More and more game design schools are popping up around the n so knowing which to choose can be difficult. Some of the better schools and colleges include:


International Academy of Design and Technology
The Art Institute Online
Full Sail University
Westwood College Online
Ex'pression College for Digital Arts
ART CENTER COLLEGE OF DESIGN
Savannah College of Art and Design
Johns Hopkins University
Pratt Institute
Animation Mentor
AGA Digital Studios, Inc.
University of Texas at Dallas Arts and Technology
ITT Technical Institute
Digital Media Arts College
Collins College

The above colleges, universities and schools focus on game design and development in specific courses dedicated to the subject.

The Collins College has a Visual Arts degree program where students can major in Game Art. It also involves game audio and project management and uses tools like 3D Studio Max and 3D Modeling. They have top class facilities like computer labs, animation labs and video labs. The degree takes about 2.5 years to complete full time and upon completion, will allow you to search for work as a Game Designer.

The Savannah College of Art and Design is located in Savannah, GA and was ranked by 3D World magazine as one of the top 3 animation schools in the USA. They train students using a wide range of tools including After Effects, Anime Studio, Pixar Renderman, Flash and more.

You can choose from an associates degree or a bachelor's degree at many of these programs. In addition, many game design schools also offer certifications instead of a full degree. You will need to decide what fits best into your plans. Many game designers choose to begin with a certification as they are often quicker and then if they choose to do so later, complete a fully fledged 4-year degree. It really depends on where you're at now and what your plans are.

Computer game design is a growing industry and as such more and more skilled people are required to fill positions. Computer and console games are becoming more complex as time goes by so by improving your skills and gaining employment at reputable gaming development companies will ensure that you are in a great position to make a career out of this exciting work.

INDIA, A POTENTIAL EDUCATION HUB


For a culture that traditionally values education, it is only natural that India should become an education hub. An average middle-class household in India spends 15 to 20 per cent of its income on education/careers of children. In fact, education takes the second position after
food in the spend hierarchy, with clothing and housing following it. Fuelled by the popular dream of a foreign degree, the Indian education market is on the verge of a boom. Pursuing a course abroad is not always possible because of the inhibiting expenses involved. Since there aren’t as many scholarships as aspirants, foreign education, often an entry point into the West, remains a dream. Realising the huge market potential, foreign institutes are entering into partnerships with Indian institutes or companies.

And it's not only the lesser known colleges that are trying to hardsell themselves to prospective students here. Ivy League institutions such as Duke University from North Carolina and Columbia University from New York were among those who participated in the October 2004
road shows conducted by the United States Educational Foundation in India and the Institute of International Education in several Indian cities. The others involved Georgetown University from Washington DC and Tufts University of Massachussetts.

Going by US News rankings for America’s Best Colleges in 2005, Duke is at 5th place, Columbia at 9th, Georgetown at 25th and Tufts at 28th. Not only American, top colleges like McGill and York from Canada and Oxford University of UK are increasingly reaching out to recruit Indian
students, especially in newer courses like management and masters in financial economics.

Clearly, the Indian student is in demand. As Stephan Chambers, head of MBA programmes, Said Business School, Oxford University, said: “We will be in India in mid-February 2005 to promote our school and courses. Our reasons are very simple: To attract the best students from around the world and some of them come from India."

A study reveals that at least 131 Indian institutions have collaborative arrangements with foreign universities. The study titled "Foreign Education Providers in India" and conducted by the National Institute of Fuelled by the popular dream of a foreign degree, the Indian education market is on the verge of a boom.Realizing the huge market potential, foreign institutes are entering into partnerships with Indian institutes or companies.

Educational Planning & Administration (NIEPA), reveals that Tamil Nadu has the highest number of Indian institutions with foreign collaborations.Tamil Nadu is followed by Maharashtra and Delhi in that order. While NIEPA admits that the survey was not exhaustive, it gives an idea
of the extent of the education market. The number could actually be close to 250 with an estimated number of 10,000 students enrolled incourses of this nature.

A majority of these foreign partners are from the US and the UK, the biggest players in the education export market worldwide. For instance, the British Council-supported site Edulinks, which helps foster Anglo- Indian partnerships in education and training, lists 57 collaborations
between the UK and Indian institutes across areas such as business, engineering, medicine and fashion design.

Of the 131 institutions identified, a majority of foreign collaborations are in professional and vocational courses. About 107 provide vocational courses, 19 technical courses and only five offer general education. About 80 per cent of these foreign endeavours are in business and hotel
management. This is because management is in huge demand and requires minimum infrastructural investment. For Indian educational institutions, this is an opportunity to build their brands as well as harness the financial strengths of the foreign universities.

It is evident, education now spells big business. One indicator of the growing education market is that educational institutions have emerged as the largest ad spending category in print media in 2004, up from the 6th position just a year ago, according to Adex India, a division of TAM
Media Research. They spent US$48.48 million on print media advertisements in 2004.

In May 2005, the Indian Institute of Planning & Management (IIPM) emerged as the highest advertising brand in the print medium with an ad spend of US$1.18 million. In comparison, its April spend amounted to US$647,329. IIPM’s campaign, which sells its MBA courses offered in eight cities, is well timed and is directed at students who are in the Education now spells big business. One indicator of the growing education market is that educational institutions have emerged as the largest ad spending category in print median 2004.

Stanford University will set up its first campus in India soon. Yale University from the US has formed a joint venture with Great Lakes Institute of Management
(Glim) of Chennai to set up a management research centre INDIA, process of deciding on the educational options available to them.A study of advertisements by foreign universities, conducted by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), reveals that they are increasingly zeroing in on India. The study conducted in 2000 found that of the 144 advertisers, 53 were from the UK, followed by Australia (40), the US (24), Canada (7), and New Zealand. The
other universities are from Bulgaria (2), Cyprus (1), France (2),
Hong Kong (1), Ireland (1), Mauritius (1), Nepal (2), Romania (1),
Russia (1) and Switzerland (3). While 117 institutions are seeking to attract students to their countries, the rest are offering programmes in India. These
programmes are predominantly in the high-demand management
and engineering faculties.

So guys why go there and study when most of the Top and A listed university from around the world are coming to us.
