The aim is to boost participation in science and its applications. Some parts of the application are already evident in the last three years where STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) jobs have witnessed a significant rise. The National Science Foundation says that as much as 80% of the jobs in the next 10 years will demand science and maths skills. “With the world experiencing the positive impact of new technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, STEM based job roles are defining the future of work and giving reason for aspirants to pursue a career in related streams. Businesses across sectors too are looking towards the role of data and research as the catalysts for success,” Prateek Shukla, CEO and co-founder of Masai School told Business Insider. According to the job site Indeed, science professionals skilled in analytics, coding, data and innovation can earn as much as ₹16 lakh per annum. Metropolitan areas including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai hire and retain the maximum talent in the field.

STEM jobs: Here are the average annual salaries for STEM-related job roles

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Darren Lewis is an executive staff recruiter based in London, England.</li><li>He recruits nannies, personal chefs, and chiefs of staff to run the homes of wealthy clients, including celebs and athletes, around the world.</li><li>This is what his job is like, as told to freelance writer Chrissie McClatchie.</li></ul>We've all spent a lot of time at home during the pandemic, even the richest people in the world. As a result, there's never been more demand for highly qualified household staff. As the cofounder and director of Pembury Partners Household Consultancy (Pembury), I'm the person some of the world's wealthiest have on speed dial when they're looking to hire executive staff for their private residence - or residences.I wasn't looking to start my own business. For the last few years, I've been at a senior level within the private household recruiting sector. When the pandemic first hit, my team and I were put on furlough, and that became the catalyst I needed. I gave Evie Dakin, a colleague and good friend of mine, a call and told her we should go it alone. It was hard to take that first step, but we haven't looked back since.Pembury officially became operational in June 2020. Our offices are in London's Mayfair neighborhood, although I've been working at home for the better part of the year. For the first six months it was just Evie and I doing everything from business development to accounts and marketing. At the end of last year we made our first hires, a project manager and expert in childcare recruitment. <h2>Currently, we're working with about 100 UHWNI clients, many of whom are celebrities and athletes.</h2>Dealing with the 1% everyday is super intense, especially because all of my clients want to have hired someone yesterday. But that's nothing different to recruiting for the luxury hotel space, where I've also worked before. The UHNWIs (ultra-high-net-worth individuals) of the world want their home to be run like a six-star hotel, too.At any one time, we could be looking to fill any range of roles in a number of locations. For example, we're currently recruiting for a property and assets manager in Azerbaijan, a chief of staff in London, and a palace manager in Qatar. For many people, the past 12 months have been tough for business but for us it's been nothing short of a boon. We've really pushed through COVID and are growing all the time. <h2>We staff for all types of specialty positions, such as performance chefs for professional footballers. </h2>By performance chefs, I mean people that cook the right meals for sportsmen and women, chefs that have formal education in nutritional science and who know what are the key ingredients for optimal athletic performance. It's definitely a growing trend that we're also seeing cross over into the <keyword id="1654120" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="UHNWI">UHNWI</keyword> space - healthy living is the phrase on everyone's lips right now.It's quite a niche market, but once one professional athlete hires a chef, they all want a chef. It's something we've never done before but it's been hugely successful so far.We don't employ staff on behalf of our clients, we're just an introducer and charge our clients a percentage of the candidate's first year salary as a fee. Right now, that's 25%.In terms of salary range, nannies can expect to earn between $55,000 to $140,000 depending on experience, chefs between $70,000 and $350,000, and chief of staffs from $100,000 to $425,000.Although some candidates register with us in response to vacancies listed on our website or on social media platforms like Linkedin, we mostly head hunt. While travel restrictions and local quarantines have been obstacles to navigate, Evie and I have the right knowledge and know the right tools to be able to track down the right pool of candidates anywhere in the world.<h2>Most people we hire must have prior experience in private households, or on superyachts or in luxury chalets.</h2>A stable CV is essential, as is five years of excellent references and a clean criminal record. The vetting process is extensive and to the highest standards. Once we put a candidate forward, they then connect with the principal client or their representative for a face-to-face or video interview.After filling a vacancy, we don't follow up with performance reviews, but I did place a chef in a training camp for a World Champion Boxer who retained his title with one of his best performances, so I like to think that had something to do with it. Feedback is always welcome, although unusual. This week I had a chef on trial with a British billionaire and the female principal client texted me after the meal to say she loved them. That was nice. Because we reference check every candidate we put forward, and they trial with the client, it's rare that anyone is ever unhappy once a placement has been made.<h2>We may get a call at 5 p.m. on a Friday afternoon asking for someone by Monday morning. </h2>Evie and I don't work fixed hours, as is usual in the UHNWI space. If I'm working for clients on the west coast of the US, I'll adjust my hours to be on their time for as long as required.There is one rule I abide by as much as possible, however, and that is to not work on a Saturday. I'm Jewish and practicing so I keep from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday as my protected family time. For the other six days, there's no holds barred, and I'll pick up my phone 24/7.It may sound draining but my job does allow me to work from anywhere in the world and be with my family. In August we will visit Israel for the month. I'll work early before my children wake up, and then we can spend the morning together, probably at the beach. I'll work for a couple of hours when it's really hot in the afternoon and then we can go out at night. At home back in London, I usually break up the day with time on my Peloton.<h2>I deal with household names daily, so the expectations are high (and some egos are extremely big).</h2>It's fascinating working with UHNWI and celebrity names, but in the end it becomes normal and it's not really something I talk too much about with my social circle. Of course, NDA's prohibit me from sharing too much detail, but, in any case, many of my friends wouldn't understand the world I live in and the inner lifestyle of UHNWIs.<div type="image" title="Darren Lewis" height="934" width="1242" msid="82771120" hostid="261"></div>My wife and I recently celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary during Britain's COVID-19 lockdown. Since we couldn't go out to mark the occasion, I asked one of the best private chefs around to come and cook our anniversary meal. Vegan cuisine is his speciality, and he's previously worked for Claudia Schiffer and Stella McCartney. Later this month it's my birthday and weather permitting, I'm hosting six friends in my garden and will have a private chef come and cater our meal. I guess you could say those are definitely the "perks" of the job.

I recruit nannies, personal chefs, and even palace managers for the ultra-wealthy. Here's what it's like to deal with the 1% every single day.

But being labelled a ‘fresher’ in a viciously cutthroat environment offers a sudden reality check for most wide-eyed, hopeful aspirants, bringing up real-world challenges and barriers that can be hugely dispiriting. Freshers have the odds stacked against them—employers logically seek experience, people who can get going right from day one, and personnel with proven track records. From an economic and viability standpoint, companies look to invest in reliability, as the long-term benefits of skilled employees outweigh the immediate low hiring costs associated with freshers. Up-and-coming hopefuls also lack inside perspective; you don’t simply learn organisational dynamics in a classroom. Intuitiveness comes from experience, and it’s little wonder graduates find it difficult to land their first jobs once out of college. Freshers also face the dreadful proposition of encountering a slow, uncertain post-pandemic job market that is still finding its feet as global volatility and economic unpredictability loom large. Companies and MNCs are either rescinding their offer letters or delaying their recruiting in the backdrop of new, more austere hiring practices, causing an onboarding bottleneck that’s proving challenging to get past. But, thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom. Freshers can appeal to hirers, brush away more accomplished competition, and possibly skip bottlenecks by skilling up, reskilling and building a <keyword id="27676" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="portfolio" source="Orion">portfolio</keyword> of attractive abilities. A recent report by <keyword id="6559242" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="great-learning" source="Orion">Great Learning</keyword> has shown that professionals who invest in upskilling early on in their careers earn twice as much as their peers and receive significantly higher increments than them. They also gain financial independence much earlier than those who do not. The modern job market regards upskilling and reskilling very highly, as it is a way to stay up to date with a dynamic environment. Here are some steps that can help guide young professionals ready themselves for the job market: 1.Select your industry domain – Knowing which basket to keep your eggs in is crucial when it comes to an ever-changing environment. Traditionally, industries such as finance and technology have been regarded as high paying. With growing digitalisation, technology has emerged as one of the hottest sectors, especially with regard to new-age technologies such as data science, AI, ML, blockchain, etc. A Great Learning study found that in 2022, building skills in data science was likely to take salaries of professionals to 57.9 lakh per annum by 2040 - 3x that of peers who haven’t upskilled. Similarly, a marketing professional who upskills in 2022 will earn 100% more than her peers over a period of 10 years. 2.Build the right skills – Enhancing your skill sets can open up unimaginable new opportunities and streams of revenue for you. It can introduce you to a sea of domains and skills demanded by recruiters across the globe. For example, a software engineering professional with new-age skills can make up to 4x as much as her peers who have traditional knowledge and the same level of expertise. A professional who hasn’t upskilled will be able to build her retirement corpus only by the age of 60, whereas an upskilled professional would have accumulated her retirement fund by 50 years of age. This is because the industry recognises and pays a premium for relevant skills as compared to legacy skills. 3.Choose the right learning platform with research and a data-led approach – There are innumerable ways through which you can increase your knowledge capital. However, the focus needs to be on building capability rather than just receiving certification on paper. To achieve the highest aaknowledge. Many upskilling platforms have connections with hiring companies and provide dedicated placement assistance to help you make the best of your cutting-edge expertise. 4.Network for the win – An often-overlooked component of upskilling is developing the right set of social and professional contacts to unlock potential career moves. Once a candidate has updated her skill sets and zeroed in on an industry domain, the next stage is to connect with the industry through its peers and influencers – leverage employment-focused online platforms and engage with mentors and like-minded professionals; build a social network that is privy to your interests, profile, skills and creativity and caters to nurturing your professional relationships. Having the skills alone might not suffice, you’ll need to advertise them and show people why you’re qualified. Take advantage of the tools available, join groups and forums, and participate in events, connecting with a global network of established members. You stand to gain specific insights and tidbits you otherwise wouldn’t. And if you capture someone’s interest, you might find yourself at the receiving end of a recommendation or a possible job opportunity or two. Complement your networking by participating in industry-relevant programmes and live projects like hackathons and summits. They further provide an understanding of the inner workings of particular specialisations and are a great way to meet industry partners and stakeholders with similar goals and attitudes 5.Curate a relevant portfolio – A portfolio is your identity and speaks on your behalf before you’ve even personally met a prospective employer. As such, take a lot of care in ensuring that your portfolio is fresh, contemporary, and offers an inside view of your talents and abilities. Detail your experiences, don’t shy away from showcasing your wins, highlight tangible outcomes you’ve effected in projects, and give a sense of progression and your hunger to succeed. Update your CV with the skills you’ve picked up and let hirers know you’re up to the brief and have what it takes to work in the industry. And finally, prepare for interviews and possible curveballs and participate in career fairs to get a sense of the job market and what companies are looking for. The bottom line is to make smart choices, put in the effort, and ensure that the effort is aligned with your goals and the larger industry ecosystem. Investing in learning and building the right skills is a foolproof way to secure your position in the future. This not only guarantees access to more appropriate opportunities and prepares you for the most demanding moments of your career, you also draw better benefits and are always a couple of rungs above the rest of the contenders on the highly challenging and immensely crowded employment ladder.

Skill up and stand out: How to crack a demanding job market in 2023

Partner salaries average more than <a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/McKinsey-and-Company-Partner-Salaries-E2893_D_KO21,28.htm">$800,000</a> in total pay, according to job-review site Glassdoor.One of your first chances to prove your value to this uber-competitive management consulting firm is through a cover letter. As stated on <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/careers/students/tips-for-advanced-professional-degree-candidates">McKinsey's website</a>: "Your application (i.e., cover letter, CV/resume) is our first and primary evidence of your written communication skills, so present it in a thoughtful and compelling manner."While the company's website notes that a cover letter isn't required in an online application, "unless you wish to alert [McKinsey] to an unusual circumstance or to provide information on a reapplication," recruiters emphasized that it's still an important part of the hiring process."McKinsey recruiters expect to see applicants with elite problem-solving and leadership abilities who can articulate their achievements, accomplishments, and diverse experiences concisely," said Caroline Stokes, the CEO of executive search and coaching firm <a href="http://www.theforward.co/">FORWARD</a>, who has experience recruiting and coaching job seekers for many top firms, including McKinsey. "A person's leadership style and executive presence can be determined from this letter alone, so it needs to fully represent how the person would operate in this management consultancy environment with other high-performing talent and clients."Portia Kibble Smith, an executive recruiter at <a href="https://karat.com/">Karat</a> who has four decades of corporate experience and has placed many candidates at McKinsey, added: "The single biggest reason for a cover letter is that when I talk to hiring managers, they're probably reviewing each resume for 10 to 30 seconds. They're shuffling through them so quickly that you need some way to make the strongest part of your resume pop. That's what a cover letter is for." These experts and others shared their best tips for writing a letter that gets a hiring manager's attention.<h1>Emphasize leadership, an entrepreneurial drive, and a passion for client-facing work</h1>Smith said you should first make it clear that you're interested in working with clients - not just interested in working for McKinsey. "Demonstrate your passion for client-facing roles, and that you have the tools to hit the ground running on day one," Smith said.Second, Smith pointed out that the cover letter is your opportunity to pull out the single-most impressive part of your resume and bring it to life. "Draw them in with a compelling story so they know your resume is worth more than half a minute of their time," she said. "One example of this is from a candidate that I helped place, who went into detail about their experience leading teams in the telecommunications industry and the value they helped create in a client-facing role."Lastly, she advised not shying away from your background, but instead leaning into it. "If your MBA is from KU [University of Kansas] and not Harvard, the hiring manager already knows this, so there's no need to hide it," Smith said. "What opportunities did you have in Lawrence that may not have been available in Cambridge? Is there a unique perspective you're going to offer to the clients that they can't find anywhere else? That will get you noticed." Will Bachman spent four years at McKinsey after business school as an engagement manager, plus another year at the firm during his pre-MBA tenure. Within his management role, he was involved in recruiting for the firm - specifically vetting prospective MBA students and conducting interviews - before he left to cofound <a href="https://www.umbrex.com">Umbrex</a>, a global community connecting top-tier independent management consultants.Bachman emphasized that McKinsey evaluates applicants on four dimensions: personal impact, entrepreneurial drive, problem-solving skills, and leadership abilities. As a result of this focus, he said that all successful candidates must meet the high bar on all four dimensions, and need to be absolutely distinctive on at least one of those four - which should come out in your cover letter."McKinsey consultants are taught to 'lead with the answer' when creating a presentation, and applicants ought to do the same in a cover letter, opening with a powerful anecdote that illustrates one of those four qualities where the candidate is most exceptional," Bachman said.He also advised not diluting your message by trying to demonstrate competence on all four; instead, you should wow the reader with a story that shows how you are amazing on one of these dimensions.(Finally, he shared that at McKinsey, the consultants like to capitalize the word "firm" when referring to "the Firm," so for extra credit, you can adopt that practice in your cover letter.)<h1>Don't just rehash your resume, and keep it short, sweet, and prompt</h1>Atta Tarki is founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.eca-partners.com/">ECA</a>, an executive search firm in which 10 out of their 11 managing directors are former consultants themselves with experience at McKinsey and other top consulting firms, and formerly spent six years as a management consultant at <a href="https://www.lek.com">LEK Consulting</a>. As such, Tarki works with hundreds of McKinsey consultants aiming to transition out of the firm a year, and has placed consultants with eight out of the top 10 strategy consulting firms.Tarki advised focusing on something unique in your cover letter that's not in your resume to make your note stand out. "Most cover letters are just checking the box and rehashing the resume," he said. "In the extremely rare event that someone looks at it, that [approach] won't help you, and instead it should try to highlight some of your hobbies or things that make you interesting as a person/for the role." Tarki added that in the age of Twitter, less is more, whether you're talking about your cover letter, resume, or other communications related to your McKinsey application. He also hammered the point that it's important to get the basics right when applying, such as keeping your emails to HR brief and professional, not having any typos in your cover letter or other parts of your application, and being very responsive when communicating with the firm. "Within hours is great and within the hour is excellent," Tarki said. "Within 24 hours is acceptable. Anything slower than that raises yellow flags."He also emphasized making sure every single sentence in your application adds value. "Don't replace quality with quantity," he said.<h1>Not sure what this looks like in practice? We asked these experts to offer some samples of great cover letter lines.</h1>Bachman suggested that your cover letter to McKinsey could begin with something like this opener, which he wrote himself:[Partner's first name],I'm interested in joining the [name of practice] as an experienced hire.Recognizing the value the Firm places on entrepreneurial drive, I thought I'd share the story of how I conceived of a new revenue stream for my current employer, developed the business case on my own time, managed to gain alignment among senior managers to approve funding, and then, as the head of this new service line, built a $50 million annual revenue business with a 22% EBITDA margin ...Here's another example of an opening paragraph of the kinds of notes that stood out to him when vetting candidates:[Partner's first name],I'm interested in joining the [name of practice] as an experienced hire.Recognizing the value the Firm places on personal impact, I thought I'd share the story of how I built a nonprofit that has distributed a free interview suit and interview coaching to 3,000 low-income residents in my city ...If you know a partner at the firm, then your cover letter should be addressed to that person. Bachman suggested that in this case, your cover letter could begin like this:[Partner's first name],I've thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to get to know you and your colleagues over the past several months, and as we discussed at [venue] on [date], I'd like to be considered as a candidate to join the [name of practice] in the [desired city] office …Smith also shared the following cover letter template that she uses to help her candidates craft their introductions to McKinsey:[Partner's first name],Delivering exceptional results for clients isn't rocket science - it's a lot harder. It takes a genuine desire to understand a client's business and goals, from both a granular and big-picture perspective. It takes insight into the client's business trajectory, products, market trends, untapped opportunities, and competitors. It takes critical thinking, robust analytical skills, leadership, and a passion for strategic problem-solving. It takes someone who can partner with clients and colleagues to find innovative approaches to problems and work as a key member of the team to develop impactful recommendations. These are the things I truly enjoy doing. I use a systematic approach to problem solving that includes analyzing the issue, defining desired outcomes, asking the right questions, looking at the challenge from both creative and strategic viewpoints, and brainstorming in a team environment to form possible solutions. A brief example of my success in problem solving is [example, including results for company or clients].As a recent graduate of [school] with a [degree] in [major], I am eager to work with an organization like McKinsey, where my education and experience in [area of experience] will add value to both clients and the firm. It would be a privilege to speak with you about a consulting role with McKinsey, my qualifications, and a potential match. My resume is attached for your review, and I look forward to the next steps in the selection process. Thank you for your consideration.Sincerely,[Your name]
