Jobs: ITES/BPO sectors need fresh graduates

[24online]

The IT-Enabled Services (ITES) and BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) sectors are one of the fastest growing sectors in India, today.
They remain a popular choice for the young generation and offer numerous job opportunities for graduates from various backgrounds.
Though ITES in India has become almost synonymous with call centres in public perception, it encompasses much more. The term ITES can be defined as outsourcing of such processes that can be enabled with information technology and covers areas as diverse as finance, HR (human resource), administration, healthcare, telecommunication, manufacturing, etc. Thus, IT enabled services refer to all those services provided by companies to customers using technology. For example, call centres enable organisations to provide information and support services to its customers using voice, email or chat. The data can be moved across the organization to all its internal and external customers quickly and effortlessly.
This contracting out of non-core duties and expenses to an outside provider is done to achieve some cost savings and perhaps improve productivity.





"The IT enabled services that India provides are medical transcription, customer interaction services, technical support, Business process outsourcing, HR services, back office operations, etc," says Manish Arora, 28, an independent recruitment consultant based in Pune.

^^But heard that employers not count experience on BPO.... Is it true??

[ilugd]

freshers are ok, but if you have bpo experience, they take you fast. pretty fast.

But what if u want to join a software company later as a programmer/Software Engineer , will BPO experience still get counted or will it be taken as negative???

I m asking this because I m a final year student of IT engineering and currenly have offer letters of leading BPOs. Should I join them or not ???

[phreak0ut]

^^Yes, even I have the same question in mind.

[~Phenom~]

^^aah!!!and I thought someone replied to my question...

[Tech.Masti]

^^^ no answer yet

[eddie]

If you want money, you can join BPO but the experience will not count when you will apply for a job out of this sector. It will not be taken as anything negative either so there is no risk. Such questions are answered lots of times in HT and TOI's magazine sections like Horizon and all

Well thanx for the reply eddie .

[Tech.Masti]

Thanks eddie....

The good thing about BPO experience would be that the new company will know that you have the knowledge of Work environment and if you have worked for some time in the BPO sector, u can ask them to see your consistency as well. I mean if you workedfor 1 year in 1 compnay and thats all, it can be a great point.
