3 Off-Beat Jobs That Would be Fun to Do

If surfing, just roaming around in your city or gardening is what you want to continue doing, you could just be the candidate that corporates are looking for.

If sitting behind a desk all day is not your idea of work, consider these new career options mushrooming in the corporate world. 

“With increased relocations and greater internet penetration, companies are on the lookout for specialized skills that address their immediate requirements. Several of these would have not been looked on as a serious job at all a year back. But today they are much in demand,’’ says Upender Walia, CEO, WinfoTech Communications. 

Take the case of a title like CLO, it stands for Chief Listening Officer, and  job is to listen to what people are saying online about the brand, the products and the services.

It is different than tracking online forums and conversations, as it is primarily focused on customer redressals and other issues with regards to the company’s products or services. 

“The first CLO was hired about a couple of years back in the US, for a well known online shopping site. And today with its entrance into the Indian market the requirement for this job is increasing as more organisations depend on social media platforms to market their products and conduct research,’’ says Walia. 

Relocation or Mobility Consultants

This is an excellent job for those who are familiar with their city, and enjoy handling a plethora of responsibilities associated with relocation.  These include looking for homes in areas as per specifications, helping get admission details from schools and organizing parent-child and principal meetings if required, help organize maids, chauffers, et al. 

“As more and more professionals are open to relocation, families are often forced to move to new and often unfamiliar cultures. And this is not restricted to non-Indians alone. Often the families of expats or NRIs return to a city that has dramatically changed.  And this is where the Relocation or Mobility Consultant comes in handy,’’ says B. Karthik, COO, PassionConnect, a company that promotes alternate careers among the youth. “It is the job of the consultant to make the transition and relocation as smooth as possible.’’ 

The Greens Manager and Consultant

Companies have greenery, indoors and outdoors. Also several companies in Bangalore encourage employees to adopt a plot of land in the premises and grow plants. In the last couple of years employees have opted to grow vegetable gardens in these areas.  As the name suggests the Greens manager or consultant is responsible for the greenery. 

“The primary job of the employees is to work for the company and not do gardening. So while the employees are at their jobs, it is the Green Consultant’s responsibility to see that the gardens, (kitchen or otherwise) are well maintained, grown organically with suitable fertilizers and pesticides, with close interaction with the relevant employee,’’ says Karthik. 

“All these jobs have only one thing in common: a passion to do the job the individual loves over and over again. Recognizing this and hiring suitable people who fit the bill is the key,’’ he continues.
