Job hunting, the cyber way
Shveta Pathak
SCOUTING
for a dream job? Muttering silent prayers, hoping to wrangle the
best deal with a six-figure salary and a duplex apartment thrown
in? Or are you just keeping your fingers crossed, till they ache
and the knuckles show, fervently hoping for headhunters to amble
along and roll the red carpet for you? Well, this need not remain
just a pipedream.

SMART SKILLS
Equip
yourself to get a good job
by Usha Albuquerque
TODAY,
the job market has exploded with hundreds of new jobs being created
every day, while there are also many that are fading away. The
unprecedented era of technology has transformed the job market
rapidly, remaking virtually every aspect of the way we work and the
way we live. Fifty years ago, machines ruled only the industrial
sector, but today the impact of the computer chip magnifies the power
of the human mind and intellect.

A window of
opportunity
Window dressing is fast
coming up as a lucrative career choice for those who wish to be
self-employed. The new breed of visual merchandisers are much in
demand in shopping plazas, fashion boutiques, emporia and at
exhibitions. Even five-star hotels hire these professionals to
decorate their lobbies and French windows during festival time,

Fashion your
future behind the lens
Fat salaries, foreign jaunts, the opportunity to scale dizzying
heights and rub shoulders with the bold and beautiful. All these make
fashion photography one of the most sought-after professions. But
there's more to it than just clicking pretty faces.
