Ten Best Jobs in India
Here we would like to talk about some of the best jobs in India.
Working in government organizations like state or central government offices is good as well. The thought of your pension money getting accumulated from the time of joining eases a lot of tension. There are very clear set rules with regard to leave, salary, deductions, medical claims etc. Added to all these facilities there is job security. So people feel safe to work in these organizations in India.
One can work in an MNC IT company. These are also at par with government offices because of the overall privileges they provide to their employees. One can continue in the same company for several years. Hence there is a job security similar to government jobs.
One can own a grocery. This is self-employment and also provides employment for others. Groceries are everyday needs for a human being and hence it is a must in every locality. Going forward that can even turn into a super market with many more items and deals every month.
Catering food to offices is a booming job with more and more women getting employed in this profession. It may become troublesome for women to complete their cooking before they leave for their jobs.

Running a private financial firm is also a good option. When more and more people are earning, they tend to think about financial planning and hence they need diligent advisors to guide them.

Houston, November 12: India has huge potential in legal outsourcing, with the number of jobs in the field increasing to 79,000 by 2015, a study by an American research firm has said.
Though India had earned over $6.7 billion in US-based outsourcing services such as software and call centers till March 2005, the field of legal outsourcing was largely untapped, the study conducted by Forrester said.
The study estimated that jobs in the field which was poised to increase dramatically from about $80 million annually to approximately $4 billion, would grow to 29,000 in 2008, 35,000 by 2010, and 79,000 by 2015.
Outsourcing would reduce costs for US customers as the rates for Indian legal workers were about 10 to 20 per cent of their American counterparts.
"Indian outsourcing offers the following economic advantages: a significant wage differential with Indian firms report paying legal researchers around $12,000 per year. There are also savings in perks, overhead, and working conditions," the study said adding time zone differences allowed for overnight and 24X7 operations.
So far, the legal services work consisted of paralegal, secretarial, and litigation support. However, according to the financial consulting firm, fulcrum financial inquiry, Indian firms now offered more valuable services, including contract review and monitoring, document review for due diligence, patent drafting, simple filings and legal research.
The most important challenges to legal outsourcing to India included concerns about data security, conflict of interest rules, and the need for Indian lawyers to pass US bar examinations.
Legal talent was being schooled in the US, but American education visas allowed these students to stay in the country for only a short time after graduation. Many who studied in the US came back to work for legal outsourcers, the study said.
Participants in the study included law firms, in-house law departments of multinational firms like GE, Bayer and outsourcers having a legal group. |
