Optimistic job market for Non-IT Grads

After years of playing second-fiddle to IT graduates, resume of professionals without IT qualifications are looking impressive once again with recruiters offering them a level-playing field. With the job market gathering steam, opportunities for non-IT graduates, particularly with commerce and science specialisation, are on the higher side. "European companies especially from France and Germany have started hiring Indian professionals," says a senior executive of a city-based HR consultancy firm. "This is in addition to opportunities in the US and MNCs in India," he adds. Within call centres, the proportion of non-voice jobs is growing. This means projects related to back-end processing, particularly accounting and salary processing, have increased. While voice-jobs accounted for over 90 per cent earlier, now it has come down to 70 per cent. This means the doors have opened for non-IT professionals, who can handle maintenance and scripting work effortlessly, says Javeed Mirza, president, Taj Software Systems, a US-based placement service. The expansion of the banking, insurance and health sectors also means more opportunities for such professionals. While banking and insurance professionals with experience in PSUs are being picked up by MNCs, prospects for pharmacy graduates and qualified nurses are growing too.

According to Global Placements manager Jose T Alapatt, the health industry is ripe with vacancies, particularly for paramedical staff.
"There is a good demand for professors, lecturers and teachers from African countries. This is compensating for lack of demand on the home front in this sector," he adds. Countries like Eritrea and Ethiopia are preferring Indian faculty, who do not haggle much for pay and perks. Sciences and mathematics are high in demand followed by humanities and social sciences.
