You must have heard this quote in finance that “Don’t put all your eggs into one basket.” It simply means don’t invest all your money into one financial instrument. It sounds intuitive and yet many people around us manage their careers with a single-stock mindset. They fail to diversify their skill portfolio, and gradually they lose their attractiveness in the eye of a potential employer. 

It all comes down to their mindset. People who operate from scarcity mindset tend to have fewer skills in their arsenal and people who have abundance mindset have no problem putting themselves in the process of leaning. You need to have abundance mindset in order to diversify your skills because one calling is sort of a myth in this ever-changing world. In reality, life is a series of what works and what doesn’t.

You should not limit or restrict yourself just after graduation because we live in a time where your job could be replaced with a machine or a piece of software at the same time you should avoid spreading too thin and learn few skills thoroughly. There are endless possibilities in skill diversification so you need to make really smart trade off. 

These days the job market has become more competitive than ever. It could appear overwhelming and obscure to graduates who have just entered the market. Finding a suitable job could be more stressful than sitting in exams and the pandemic has only added fuel to the fire. The impact of covid-19 has been felt by businesses worldwide and the news of layoffs and downsizing have become common phenomena. A staggering 250 resumes are received on average by corporates for a particular job opening and only 2% of candidates get shortlisted for the role. Can you imagine the competitive nature of finding a job? When one candidate is selected, a long list of candidates is rejected so it is almost like a ruthless battle.

But you cannot afford to lose hope. Can you? It is tough but it is not impossible because hiring is still going on. Through this episode, you will get to know what you can do from your side to improve the odds of getting the job after graduation.  

In this episode, we are going to talk about roles/jobs that are seeing a sustainable spike in demand in the post-covid period and expected to grow over the period. An emerging job is defined as a role that has seen tremendous growth within a particular region. There may not be a large number of people who hold this job but there is sustained year-on-year growth of professionals who are hired into the role.

The most important conversations you'll ever have are the ones with yourself. Self-awareness is a powerful tool it gives you the power to better understand self, life, and career.
