Outsourcing to India Creates Jobs in London as Indian IT Firms

When British Unions made off-shoring / outsourcing of British IT jobs to India a major issue of national concern, they had not taken into consideration Indian jobs that were coming to Britain as a result of the off-shoring / outsourcing trend. An interesting trend that saw many big name Indian IT companies like Infosys returning favour by setting up headquarters, creating new jobs and employment opportunities in countries that had off-shored / outsourced work, helping them grow into companies with an international presence. And, nine years ago, London benefited from having off-shored / outsourced IT work to Infosys, an Indian IT firm who set base in the capital making it the largest IT sector in Europe. Infosys, an Indian company with offices and a 37,000 strong workforce worldwide, tangible proof off-shoring / outsourcing works, benefiting all, a two-way street with many advantages.

Case studies conducted by London's official foreign investment agency confirm several Indian IT companies have invested in London by setting up offices and hiring locally. Think Infosys, a company that hires 115 full-time staff and 800-consultants on client sites throughout Great Britain. Presently, in the midst of relocating from Croydon to CanaryWharf to establish a greater presence, Infosys in London is the positive off-spin of off-shoring / outsourcing.

In 2003, BITS Infotech UK another Bangalore based company joined Infosys, came to London and set up its European headquarters on the east side with a staff of seven, and plans to expand over the coming years. Cygnus, Fusion Infotech and Intas Pharmaceuticals, all Indian companies followed suite establishing London offices and offering employment opportunities to the very British who made such a hue and cry about job loss to countries like India.

The moral of the story is: "What goes around comes around." By off-shoring / outsourcing work, helping small Indian companies to grow into international giants with a worldwide presence, the good deed has come full circle with Indian companies creating and offering employment to Americans and Europeans. No doubt, this will allay the fears and unrest about job loss as a result of off-shored / outsourced to countries like India and others.

A long-term blessing, let's roar the huzzahs roar for off-shoring / outsourcing

Tips on finding a Job!

 

Below are tips to help you with any job search.

 

Network: Most people find jobs through word-of-mouth. Talk to the people you know, including relatives, friends, professors, and former co-workers.  Let them know that you are looking for work; ask their advice; seek out introductions to people in the field that interests you.

 

Customize: Create a custom version of your resume for each job or industry that interests you. Your resume is usually an employers first contact with you. Make sure it highlights your skills that relate to the job that employer is seeking to fill.

 

Know yourself: Identify your skills. Work on communicating them effectively. You need to be able to lay out your skills, and explain how they relate to the job you're seeking. 

 

Organize and prioritize: Make a list to help keep track of your job search efforts. Preparing a list also helps you to organize your priorities and keeps you focused on your goal -- finding your perfect job.

 

Do your homework: Read the newspaper and trade journals to remain current on developments in your field of interest. Knowing the latest trends and mergers will help set you apart from other candidates in an interview. 

 

Practice, practice, practice: Preparation is the key to a successful interview. Know your skills and be ready to illustrate how they relate to the job in question. Practice with a friend to get comfortable with your responses and to formulate strong answers to questions you might not anticipate. Remember you are selling yourself so practice being a great salesperson.

 

Follow up: Follow up on all leads as soon as possible. If you don't, your competition may. Try and fallow up at least once to twice a week. You want to stay fresh in their mind and at the same time show how much you want the job. And, following an interview, always send a thank-you note the same day.

 

Keep your head up: Looking for a job can feel like a job in itself.  Don't let it get you down. With patience and hard work, you will find the right job.

 

Last but not least: Dress the part! Always dress professional. Now, you may not want to wear a 3 piece suit when applying for a position as a forklift operator but at the same time never apply or ask for an application wearing shorts, T-shirts,  flip-flops...and so on. Be well groomed, wear nice clean cloths and always remember that you only have one opportunity to make a first impression.
