COVID-19 has left a lot of people jobless,
[3]
most are not receiving salaries and rest are
[5]
getting a pay-cut.
[7]
But there are some jobs that have been NOT been affected
[10]
at all during this pandemic.
[12]
Infact, some careers have just gotten better.
[15]
Which is why in today’s video we are going
to see…
[18]
5 coolest careers post-pandemic
[20]
that we must check out, which are..
[29]
But this video is not about this list.
[31]
This video is about what you can do
[33]
to get started with these careers and
[35]
why are these careers 'cool'?
[37]
And towards the end, I’ll give you a Bonus
Tip
[39]
that’ll help you pick a job that’s right for you.
[42]
But before that, if you want us to make more
videos,
[45]
make sure you hit that big fat 'like' button,
[47]
because that just makes us happy.
[50]
And when we are happy, we make more videos.
[52]
Let’s begin.
[59]
This list of 'cool' careers that we've created today, is based on 4 parameters.
[63]
1) The LinkedIn’s India 2020 Emerging Jobs
Report
[67]
2) The impact a career can have on your customer’s
lives.
[70]
3) A hopeful prediction about what jobs can move
to India
[73]
in the future, considering that working
[75]
remotely is the new trend.
[77]
4) And ofcourse, how easily you can learn them
from home.
[81]
If these 4 parameters don’t make a career
cool...
[83]
I don’t know what will!
[84]
So, let’s quickly look at the top 5 careers
[87]
that you must dip your hands into to figure out
[89]
if they are your jam or not.
[92]
Career #5: Mobile Developer
[94]
Now you’ll tell me that you are not from
the Computer Science background.
[97]
Relax, the fact that mass recruiters pick
up graduates
[100]
from Electrical or even Civil sometimes,
[102]
tells you that technology belongs
to nobody’s father.
[105]
So the good news is, irrespective of your background, it can be learnt.
[109]
Now, what do Mobile Developers do?
[111]
As the name suggests, they create apps for
mobile phones.
[115]
Since the lockdown started,
[117]
you would’ve done payment atleast once using GooglePay,
[120]
you would’ve ordered food using Zomato or
Swiggy
[122]
and chances are, you are watching this
[124]
video on an app.
[125]
There is no denying that mobile applications
are here to stay.
[129]
So why not learn it to make some money?
[132]
To learn mobile development, you must have…
[135]
Technical Skills and Soft Skills.
[137]
For Technical Skills, start learning Flutter.
[140]
There is a free Flutter course on the official
Flutter website,
[143]
that covers everything from
[144]
installation to deployment.
[146]
So if you want to become an Android app developer,
[149]
this is the best place to start.
[151]
I’ve left their link in the description.
[153]
The second skill you must have is Soft Skills.
[156]
In software field, technology is the easiest part.
[160]
What’s difficult... is communication.
[162]
This is a meme that is famous in the software field.
[166]
It basically represents how often,
[167]
what clients ask and what Software teams deliver
[170]
are completely different.
[172]
So, it’s important you learn how to communicate
[176]
with both your clients and your colleagues effectively.
[179]
Now, while you are acquiring these skills,
[181]
here are a few things you can do to make a career out of it.
[184]
1) To improve your coding skills, pick up a personal
project.
[188]
Like an app that is as simple as a countdown timer
[192]
or that plays your favourite song as an alarm.
[195]
Next, to earn money from your newly learnt
skill,
[197]
reach out to your network.
[199]
I’m sure you have atleast one friend in
your circle who is building a start-up.
[202]
Offer to create an app for them.
[204]
To give you an example…A friend of mine
decided to make an app for the beauty parlor
[209]
that she used to visit and this app, later
helped her land a job in Google.
[215]
And finally, use all this experience to apply
to your dream company or start-up,
[220]
who will welcome you with open arms.
[222]
Because, thanks to COVID, all companies have realised that
[225]
it is better to be an app on their user’s phone than to be on a billboard.
[230]
So, learn how to code.
[232]
Infact, comment below and let me know if you want to learn app development
[235]
and want me to make a full tutorial about it.
[238]
The more comments we get, the sooner we will make it.
[240]
Career #4: UI/UX Desginer
[243]
These days, it’s all about the user experience.
[246]
And a UI/UX designer is responsible for it.
[249]
UI means User Interface.
[251]
What button goes where, what features get
listed, what is center-aligned, font, colors,
[256]
cross-platform compatibility on phone or laptop.
[259]
Basically, they deal with looks.
[261]
A UX designer on the other hand focuses on
user experience.
[265]
How users react to the product, how things
work.
[268]
Now, the tools you need to learn for this
job are…
[270]
Adobe XD or Figma
[273]
It helps to know languages like HTML, CSS
and a little JavaScript.
[277]
And skills like..
[278]
User Research and Customer Analysis.
[280]
I would recommend that you read these 2 brilliant books..
[286]
They bring our attention to designs around
us that we often miss to notice.
[290]
And that’s the point.
[292]
A good design should just blend with our existing
world.
[295]
If a user needs to open a manual to operate
a product or run an app..
[298]
then the UX designer of that team has failed.
[302]
And that’s how important this career is.
[304]
Now, while you are learning these tools, here is what you can do
[307]
to get your foot in the door.
[308]
1) Think how you would re-design apps/websites that you already use.
[313]
Like Twitter, Swiggy or go to our website
[316]
SkilloPro.com and tell us
[318]
how you’d like to redesign it.
[320]
Put all of this work of yours on ‘Dribbble’.
[323]
Having a portfolio is important because
[325]
people want to check out your work first, before they give you a job.
[328]
After that, list yourself on Fiverr or TapChief.
[332]
These tiny projects help you build a portfolio
[334]
that you can later use to apply to better jobs.
[337]
I’ll tell you why UI/UX designer is in this
list.
[340]
During the lockdown, a lot of 40-50 year old’s
have been trying to go digital.
[344]
People like your parents.
[345]
But remember, these are people who don’t
like technology..
[348]
and that might be because of...
[350]
..Bad UI/UX.
[352]
But if you become a UI/UX designer,
[354]
then you have the opportunity to make their transition
[356]
to technology better.
[358]
And that’s what makes this profession so cool.
[361]
We have also been trying to learn about UI/UX
[363]
by attending various workshops and we follow
[366]
a few creators who are UI/UX experts.
[368]
You can check them out too.
[369]
I have left their links in the description.
[371]
So comment below and tell me..
[373]
What is that one app that you would like to
redesign as a UI/UX developer?
[377]
For example…
[385]
Career #3: Digital Marketing Specialist
[388]
According to the World Economic Forum…
[389]
by 2030, about 40% of all purchases will be online.
[393]
A process that the lockdown, would only accelerate..
[397]
And that’s where Digital Marketing Specialists come in.
[400]
In simple terms, a Digital Marketing Specialist
[402]
promotes and sells a product using various
[404]
digital channels, like…
[406]
Email Marketing, Company Website, Blogs, Social
Media Ads, Search Engine Optimization.
[410]
A few skills to have in your bag to become
a Digital Marketing Specialist are…
[414]
Knowing Google Analytics, FB analytics, Instagram
Analytics to understand your audience.
[418]
Improving Search Engine Ranking
[420]
(through SEO and SEM).
[422]
Understanding how engaging content is created,
through content Marketing.
[426]
Making amazing videos that talk about a brand.
[429]
And of course, how to engage with your audience
regularly.
[433]
If I had to give you an example…according
to me personally,
[435]
the Netflix India Instagram page does a brilliant job at this.
[439]
Because they keep asking their audience questions,
[440]
create memes and post snippets from their shows.
[443]
All this engagement generates excitement for
[446]
shows that are going to release.
[448]
And all of this directly leads to sales.
[452]
Now, what to do after you have learnt these skills?
[455]
See, Covid-19 has made people forcefully
[458]
shift to digital transactions.
[459]
To give you an example…
[460]
Since 5 months, my house maid akka, has not
taken cash,
[463]
she asked me to GooglePay her salary..
[465]
But this digital shift is not so easy for
businesses.
[468]
So, as a new Digital Marketing Specialist,
[470]
you can first help your local businesses get online.
[473]
Start with the businesses you know or use.
[476]
Like the didi who sells cloth material
[477]
or bhaiyya who sells plants
[479]
or that small khakra business that you order snacks from.
[482]
Help them get online.
[483]
2) A lot of professionals who are well-settled,
[486]
want to make drastic shifts in their careers
[488]
to photography or Travel or Fitness and follow
their heart.
[493]
I’m sure you know atleast one of them.
[494]
Atleast 5 come to my mind.
[496]
So, help them build an online presence.
[499]
3) You can even help Doctors get online.
[502]
What do you do when somebody recommends you
a doctor?
[505]
You google about them.
[506]
These days it’s important for Doctors to
appear on search results and have a place
[509]
where people can see reviews that their patients
gave them.
[513]
I helped one of my Doctor friends
[515]
set up a Google Form for online appointments.
[517]
So, if you know a doctor, turn them digital.
[519]
Through this profession, you are not only helping yourself,
[522]
but also directly contributing to the Indian economy.
[525]
And according to me, there is nothing cooler than that.
[528]
So commit to this coolness..
[530]
and comment below and tell me...
[531]
What is that ONE thing you are going to do to become a Digital Marketing Specialist?
[534]
For example...
[542]
Career #2: Data Scientist

Data Scientists are people who understand trends.
[547]
All this time that you are spending online..
[549]
somebody is collecting that data…
[550]
from your smart phones, social media posts, even emails.
[554]
They take all this unstructured data,
[556]
make sense of it… and store it.
[558]
So that other people like Digital Marketing
Specialists,
[561]
UI/UX designer, App Developers
[564]
can use that data to ‘improve’ customer
experience.
[567]
Some skills you need to learn to become a
Data Scientist are..
[577]
If you are already a programmer,
[578]
Data Science is one of those skills that you can add to your resume to
[581]

[583]
And because now, we are more online than offline,

Career #1: Educational Content Writer
[668]
Okay. I might be biased …. but hear me out!
[670]
When I was in college, the craze was...
[672]
’Main roadie banonga’.
[674]
Today’s craze is…’Main Youtuber banunga.’
[677]
Let me be clear…
[678]
Being a Youtube Creator as a profession is
like having your own-startup.
[681]
Unless you work on yourself first,
[683]
gain some experience in a field and have enough knowledge
[686]
to atleast teach beginners..
[688]
being on Youtube adds no value..
[690]
neither to you monetarily nor to your users.
[693]
Now why is this Career #1?
[695]
Because these days our memory is like a goldfish
[699]
and our attention span is…
[703]
Basically, our attention span is less than 10 seconds.
[706]
And it takes immense hard work to write an educational script.
[709]
So, the job of an Educational Content Writer
[711]
is to make complicated topics simple and interesting.
[715]
And the only way to learn it, is by practice.
[718]
Skills you must get under your belt to become
an Educational content writer are…
[731]
Trust me, we have gone through 100’s of profiles,
[733]
conducted interviews, given paid assignments
[735]
which are then reviewed so that they can learn and get back…and still…
[739]
couldn’t short-list even one person who could do this job.
[742]
So if think you have these skills, then come
work with us.
[746]
We’d love to have you in our team.
[747]
But if you don’t want to work with us…
[749]
then create your own online courses,
[751]
host it on multiple ED-Tech websites.
[753]
Or, just hire..
[755]
a Digital Marketing Specialist, a UI/UX Designer,
[758]
a Data Scientist, an App Developer…
[760]
and create an Ed-Tech platform of your own.
[762]
So if this excites you…
[764]
then comment below and let me know..
[765]
What are you going to do to become an Educational Content Writer?
[768]
For example..
[776]
Before I give you the Bonus Tip, if you want to know
[778]
how to use all these skills and make money online…
[781]
then don’t forget to 'subscribe' to our channel and hit that 'bell' icon because..
[785]
we make Career, Finance and Communication videos… regularly.
[793]
The problem with today’s companies is that
[795]
they give you a job only when you have experience.
[798]
But to get experience you need a job.
[801]
The only way to break this deadlock is to
[803]
work for your friends and family.
[806]
No matter the profession you pick, broadcast in every whatsapp group
[810]
that you are ready to work for free.
[812]
Everybody needs skills that we have discussed today…
[815]
Managers need to prepare PPTs,
[816]
Startups need to design landing pages,
[818]
Influencers need help with social media,
[820]
companies need help with press releases.
[823]
You might find more leads in your whatsapp
groups than anywhere else.
[827]
And when you are a fresher, it’s okay to work for free.
[830]
Somebody trusting you enough to give you some
work, itself is an opportunity.
[834]
Your job is to learn from these opportunities
[836]
and build a portfolio that you can later use
[839]
to charge people money.
[841]
And yes… all of this is hardwork.
[844]
So today’s Bonus Tip is this…
[846]
‘The coolest career for you, is the one..
[849]
..that you won’t mind sweating for.’
[853]
Because if you feel like giving up easily,
[855]
then that’s not the career for you.
[857]
So, go and find out, for you..
[858]
which profession is worth hustling for.
[861]
For me, it’s working on Skillo.
[863]
And I hope that while you and I are together (virtually)..
[866]
you’ll figure out yours too.
[868]
I am Taskeen, this is The Urban Fight..
[871]
and I’ll see you in the next video.
