welcome .................................... boss,

Good luck with your application in India!
Looking for work in India
Looking for work in another country requires more than just the obvious CV translation. You will be confronted with issues
that probably didn't even cross your mind when you decided to go for an international career, but don't underestimate
the big impact they can have on the outcome of your adventure! Think for example about the different rules and
habits regarding immigration, job application procedures, the selection procedures and the management culture.
Expertise in Labour Mobility has prepared practical factsheets to support you in your job hunting abroad. A thorough
preparation will give you a head start in the country of your choice. Here is some info on India:
Work permits in India
• To work in India, you must have an employment visa. To obtain one, your employer has to send a letter
providing information about your qualification to the home ministry in India.
• If your spouse wishes to work in India as well, he/she has to apply for an employment visa independently.
• You need an employment visa to open a bank account in India.
The application procedure in India
• Your first interview may be the introduction to a series of interviews with senior personnel.
• Always bring copies of documents, like educational degrees and visa documents, to the interview.
Writing a CV in India
• The key focus of your CV should be to persuade the employer to invite you for an interview. Therefore, your CV
is a marketing tool, which should be adapted to the market in which you intend to use it.
• The Indian CV should be arranged in chronological order.
• Personal information, educational background and employment history should be included in the CV.
• Always include an application letter with your CV, but never attach other documents, like diplomas or
testimonials.
The application letter in India
• The letter itself should be very brief and written in a very polite and formal style.
• It is no problem to write in English, although some knowledge of the Indian language is expected for most
positions.
• Include a line at the top of your letter explaining the subject of the letter.
• Finish your letter formally with a sentence that shows that you are willing to come to an interview.
Do’s • Look interested – ask questions.
• Ask for clarification if you don’t understand the question you have been asked.
• Pay attention to a formal appearance in India.
• Be able to provide examples to illustrate your achievements.
Don’ts • Be surprised that punctuality is not an issue in India - delays are accepted to a great extent.
• Sit until invited in an Indian application interview.
• Criticise former employers.
• Go over the top – stay calm and stick to the facts.
Management culture in India
• The Indian culture is characterised by a strong need for hierarchy. Every role is
connected to certain responsibilities.
• Indian people work for their manager rather than for the company – it is not unheard
of for employees to leave the organisation if their boss is leaving.
• Meetings are generally unstructured and a lot of time is spent on networking and
personal conversations.
• The traditional way of greeting someone is the ‘namaste’ – both hands are joined
together and the head is inclined forward.

Smile- conquers the world

Nice to hear about ur intrest in India. U might need a citizenship visa to reside & work there.But I don't know what work will be suitable for u there, as all Indians migrate to other countries for good job & income. In india u might get only 1/5th of what u earn in US. So think carefully & then decide.

Good luck !

sam_linen35

i am also a indian, you can easily find a job in a call center.i think and whatever you earn its more then your USA income,i think......

Worried Father

Suzy

call aol...or any other large corp that ships their call centers overseas...for cheap labor so the people that use their products cant get jobs.

rhea

Yeah you definitely can find a good job.
Let me be honest it won't be all that easy, as you need to do some course to have a secure job.

career consultant

Yes of course India is great if you can adapt the culture and people, if hardworking you can mark yourself in career here, there are lot of british and americans i know personally who came here much before even the present economic boom and are having a much exciting and excellent career even more than that they could have imagined in their own country.

Best of all is the standard of living is much cheap, there are no social security thing here but schooling upto high school is as good as free, there are government sponsored free medical services (only for citizens-but for others too is not much costly as in western countries), if you can be more specific which country you are from, it can help more

Check out the aviation industry opportunities available in India, the sector is growing at 25 % since last 3 years and should provide you the platform, check this out at http://www.sristysaviation.com

check out craiglist under indian cities, or classifieds in Indian newspapers such as The Times of India, or BBC India. Maybe a job as an english teacher would be a good start to get there and figure your way around town.

Good luck!!

dvkini

u will get job in call centrers salary starts from 100000 rupes per annum ($2380 approximatly.)

this amount is quit sufficient in india to live with.

I think if you find a corporate in your country interested in the Indian market (A good part of the world is.), you can work out some deal and come to India.

I remember meeting a Canadian artist, who would search for companies interested a country that she wanted to travel to and get corporate funding for painting cultural aspects of that country. That gave her money to travel and do what SHE wanted to do.
