The use of modern technology and social media can strengthen the youth to a great extent. Innovation is also paving the way for future growth. Meanwhile, social media is proving to be a good option these days for job searching in India and abroad alike. It is estimated that more than 80 per cent of employers search for new workers on social media platforms. According to a recent report by Jobcast, 93 per cent of employers use LinkedIn for new hires. Similarly, 66 per cent of employers use Facebook for this purpose, while 54 per cent recruiters depend on Twitter to fill their vacancies. If we talk about job seekers, only 36 per cent of people are on LinkedIn, 40 per cent are on Twitter, and the most are 83 per cent are on Facebook. LinkedIn has also recently launched its Hindi service and for this initiative the company is doing promotion through full page advertisements in leading newspapers of India and also through radio FM channels. Clearly, LinkedIn is now looking for Hindi-speaking users in India, as companies around the world are looking for Indian talent and they see a lot of potential in India.
Through social media, such people can easily get jobs, whose profile is impressive, as well as whose name has been referred to by other professionals. This also makes it clear that job seekers should not post senseless or double meaning content on their social media and they should post meaningful content which can enhance their image and personality. Posting intelligently and image-boosting content can make a big difference in job getting. Infosys founder N R Narayana Murthy says that there are many opportunities available in all sectors. Education, health, agriculture, manufacturing, retail, insurance, housing, tourism, hotels, nutritious food, are the few sectors which are full of opportunities for future growth and employment. There are opportunities in all fields. He says that the responsibility of the government is not to provide jobs to all the people, but to provide an environment where job creators are encouraged. At the same time, government machinery should not interfere in any new enterprise till it earns a profit of Rs 50 crore annually.
On the other hand, Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani has made two big predictions about the future. One – India will soon be among the top three economies of the world. Two – Reliance Industries will be one of the strongest and most prestigious Indian multinational companies (MNCs) in the world. At Dhirubhai Ambani’s birthday program, Ambani said that “we are entering the second part of Reliance’s golden decade. The future of our company looks brighter than ever to me.” There are also good signs from the Tata Group regarding the bright future of the country. Reports suggest that the Tata group will focus on digital, new energy, flexible supply chain and healthcare in the coming years. Tata Sons chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran said in an open letter to employees that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected India’s economy to grow at 8.5 per cent, which is much higher than the world’s estimated 4.9 per cent growth rate. The company expects that it can play a role in fulfilling India’s ambition of becoming a $3 trillion (about Rs 225 lakh crore) economy by 2024.
