• In addition to the above common elements, each sector has unique considerations.

• Companies prefer people who have experience and knowledge of a particular industry. At zavesti.com we specialize in quickly ramping you up with the key business requirements, unique processes and requirements in each sector so you are ahead of the pack in your job interview and in your resume.

Which Jobs In Which Cities?

• Remember, West (Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad etc) have more jobs than East (Calcutta etc).

• If you would like to find an overseas job in middle east then Mumbai is your destination.

• If you want finance jobs, then Mumbai may be your best bet.

• IT Jobs are still concentrated in the South – Bangalore & Hyderabad. The North is coming up fast though – New Delhi, Chandigarh, Gurgaon and Noida.

• BPO – Business Process Outsourcing jobs – where North American firms outsource their work (IT services, medical transcription, telesales etc) to India – are easiest to find in Bangalore. However, Gurgaon is not far behind.
