E-Commerce Consultant
Keep aside the job profession but in 1989 most of us would have not even heard what E-commence was—thanks to the coming age of the World Wide Web.
E-business consultants are professionals who specialize in analyzing, advising and developing solutions for companies who largely use online technology to run business. Additionally, these professionals advice over finances, marketing and technology solutions to grow revenue, improve production and lower costs.
With the likes of Amazon, Flipkart and other E-com giants making their way into the industry, these jobs now exist in a variety of settings, from independent to large e-commerce consultancies and marketing firms, who hire in-house experts for improvisation on their brands.
Mobile App Developer
As mobile phones have become as important as our wallets in everyday life, development in this area is going on in a very fast pace, which we know didn’t exist 25 years ago.
A mobile app developer is a person concerned with various facets of the software development process. Their work includes researching, designing, implementing, and testing diverse software. And if you have the right set of traits and skills going along then this job can be even better and exciting.
Dino Grigorakakis, vice president of recruiting for Randstad Technologies, said, "A lot of companies really want to be enabled in the mobile platform." “Banks, job board businesses, newspapers—just about anybody you can think of that has a website that gets a lot of traffic—want their websites to function on tablets.” He further added, "There's an extreme shortage of these people, and often customers have to go to consulting firms because they're the only people that have skills available."
