So the markets are down and are falling lower each hour (even as I write this!), and there is a global meltdown. After Jet Airways firing off staff and then taking them back again, there is a certain uncertainity among everyone. “Is my job safe?” is what everyone is wondering. Bad situation. I am particularly concerned about students who are in the middle of no where with their career decisions. Hospitality, Aviation, BPO, Banking and Finance – what is safe and what is worth it? Confusion Confusion Confusion. And obviously I am concerned about IT. I did some online research and let me share a few articles with you here, that I really liked a lot. The basic message is that the IT indstry is considerably safe- various factors considered, of course. The growth has definitely slowed down, but the hiring will not stop. Here are the links:
