Career #5:

Mobile Developer, Now you’ll tell me that you are not from a Computer Science background. Relax, the fact that mass recruiters’ pickup graduates from Electrical or even Civil sometimes, tell you that technology belongs to nobody’s father. So, the good news is, irrespective of your background, it can be learned.

Now, what does Mobile Developers do?

As the name suggests, they create apps for mobile phones. Since the lockdown started, you would’ve done payment at least once using Google Pay, you would’ve ordered food using Zomato or Swiggy and chances are, you are watching this article on an app. There is no denying that mobile applications are here to stay.

So why not learn it to make some money?

To learn mobile development, you must have Technical Skills and Soft Skills. For Technical Skills, start learning Flutter. There is a free Flutter course on the official Flutter website, that covers everything from installation to deployment. So, if you want to become an Android app developer, this is the best place to start.

The second skill you must have is Soft Skills.

In the software field, technology is the easiest part. What’s difficult is communication. This is a meme that is famous in the software field. It basically represents how often; what clients ask and what Software teams deliver are completely different. So, it’s important you learn how to communicate with both your clients and your colleagues effectively.

Now, while you are acquiring these skills, here are a few things you can do to make a career out of it.

To improve your coding skills, pick up a personal project. Like an app that is as simple as a countdown timer or that plays your favorite song as an alarm. Next, to earn money from your newly learned skill, reach out to your network. I’m sure you have at least one friend in your circle who is building a start-up. Offer to create an app for them. To give you an example, A friend of mine decided to make an app for the beauty parlor that she used to visit and this app, later helped her land a job in Google. And finally, use all this experience to apply to your dream company or start-up, who will welcome you with open arms. Because, thanks to COVID, all companies have realized that it is better to be an app on their user’s phone than to be on a billboard. So, learn how to code. In fact, comment below and let me know if you want to learn app development and want me to make a full tutorial about it. The more comments we get, the sooner we will make it.

Career #4:

UI/UX Designer These days, it’s all about the user experience. And a UI/UX designer is responsible for it. UI means User Interface. What button goes where what features get listed, what is center-aligned, font, colors, cross-platform compatibility on phone or laptop. Basically, they deal with looks. A UX designer on the other hand focuses on user experience. How users react to the product, how things work. Now, the tools you need to learn for this job are… Adobe XD or Figma It helps to know languages like HTML, CSS, and a little JavaScript. And skills like User Research and Customer Analysis. I would recommend that you read these 2 brilliant books. They bring our attention to designs around us that we often miss noticing. And that’s the point. A good design should just blend with our existing world. If a user needs to open a manual to operate a product or run an app. then the UX designer of that team has failed. And that’s how important this career is. Now, while you are learning these tools, here is what you can do to get your foot in the door.

Think about how you would re-design apps/websites that you already use. Like Twitter, Swiggy or go to our website SkilloPro.com and tell us how you’d like to redesign it. Put all of this work of yours on ‘Dribbble’. Having a portfolio is important because people want to check out your work first before they give you a job. After that, list yourself on Fiverr or Tap Chief. These tiny projects help you build a portfolio that you can later use to apply to better jobs. I’ll tell you why UI/UX designer is on this list.

During the lockdown, a lot of 40-50-year old ‘shave were trying to go digital. People like your parents. But remember, these are people who don’t like technology. and that might be because of Bad UI/UX.

But if you become a UI/UX designer, then you have the opportunity to make their transition to technology better. And that’s what makes this profession so cool. We have also been trying to learn about UI/UX by attending various workshops and we follow a few creators who are UI/UX experts.

Career #3:

Digital Marketing Specialist According to the World Economic Forum… by 2030, about 40% of all purchases will be online. A process that the lockdown would only accelerate. And that’s where Digital Marketing Specialists come in. In simple terms, a Digital Marketing Specialist promotes and sells a product using various digital channels, like… Email Marketing, Company Website, Blogs, SocialMedia Ads, Search Engine Optimization. A few skills to have in your bag to become Digital Marketing Specialist are… Knowing Google Analytics, FB Analytics, and Instagram Analytics to understand your audience. Improving Search Engine Ranking (through SEO and SEM). Understanding how engaging content is created, through content Marketing. Making amazing videos that talk about a brand. And of course, how to engage with your audience regularly. If I had to give you an example…according to me personally, the Netflix India Instagram page does a brilliant job at this. Because they keep asking their audience questions, creating memes and posting snippets from their shows. All this engagement generates excitement for shows that are going to release.

And all of this directly leads to sales. Now, what to do after you have learned these skills? See, Covid-19 has made people forcefully shift to digital transactions. To give you an example… For 5 months, my housemaid Akka has not taken cash, she asked me to Google Pay her salary.

But this digital shift is not so easy for businesses. So, as a new Digital Marketing Specialist, you can first help your local businesses get online. Start with the businesses you know or use. Like the didi who sells cloth material or bhaiyya who sells plants or that small chakra business that you order snacks from. Help them get online.

A lot of professionals who are well-settled, want to make drastic shifts in their careers to photography or Travel, or Fitness and follow their heart. I’m sure you know at least one of them. At least 5 come to my mind. So, help them build an online presence.

You can even help Doctors get online. What do you do when somebody recommends you, doctor?

You google about them. These days it’s important for doctors to appear on search results and have a place where people can see reviews that their patients gave them. I helped one of my Doctor friends set up a Google Form for online appointments.

So, if you know a doctor, turn them digital. Through this profession, you are not only helping yourself, but also directly contributing to the Indian economy. And according to me, there is nothing cooler than that. So, commit to this coolness. and comment below and tell me.
