The number of employed women is on a significant rise, and this trend is not only visible in the metros but across India. However, we are nowhere close to being the leading nation in terms of women in the workforce. We have not moved out of the 'it's a man's world' phase yet because job opportunities are generally concentrated in a few cities and localities and work hours are generally fixed. For many female students, it is very challenging to travel long distances late evenings after college to get work experience necessary for applying to jobs later on. For many women with families to look after, leaving the house and kids to work in an office for eight to nine hours in a day is an impossible task.

Now, imagine if you didn't have to do that! Imagine, the couch in your home is the office chair, your travel to a corner in your living room, and your kitchen, being the office pantry. We're not saying this makes life more comfortable, but it could help make it a bit simpler to get to work. Here are 3 job opportunities that help women strike a balance between working and studying or any type of responsibility because they can all be done from home.

1) Wonk Tutor

If teaching is your dream, then here's how you can make it a reality starting today. Wonk is a platform that helps parents find tuition teachers, known as tutors, for their children. A Wonk tutor job involves teaching an individual or group of students virtually, at their home or your own home. You pick the subject you are an expert in, be it maths, a language, or even dance. The best part is, you can work as per your schedule and convenience.

2) Sheroes MARS

Sheroes Mars is a platform that helps connect women with work from home opportunities in the space of Customer Support and Telemarketing for larger companies. Mars stands for Managed Remote Solutions, and this program analyses your availability, skills, readiness, and interests and gives you access to opportunities after a certification process.

These Inspirational Stories from the Glow and Lovely Careers Will Motivate You to Create Your Own Path

When we think of success, it means different things for all of us. For some, it is fighting against the odds to complete college graduation, for some, it is becoming the first woman in the family to get a job. For others, it may be to qualify and attain a scholarship that will help further their dreams. In a country like ours, a growing number of women are looking to work and are making their own success stories in the process.

Glow & Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair & Lovely Career Foundation) scholarships have enabled several women to pursue their education and move a step closer to their dream of having a career. There may be a number of reasons why someone might be in need of a scholarship. We have as an example, the case of Arshia, who was a B Tech student, to see how scholarships help students. Arshia was in the first year of her graduation when her father passed away in an accident. To support the family, her mother began running a small shop. As the oldest in her family, Arshia knew she needed to complete her graduation and find a job to support her family. She applied and received a scholarship from the Glow and Lovely Careers, which covered the cost of an entire year of her education. This significantly eased her financial burden and enabled her to focus on her studies, thus setting her up well for the future.

Another amazing story is that of Swati Bhura. She is from Kolkata and when she was quite young, she lost her mother. To help support her education and her family, she began taking tuitions while she was still finishing school. Her goal was to complete her education and become a Chartered Accountant. She was looking for scholarships for women and found out about our scholarship program through a newspaper advertisement. She won a scholarship and was not only able to successfully complete her CA course, she has also worked with some of the most prestigious companies including, Deloitte and Coca Cola since becoming a CA.

Sometimes, we may not be able to understand how to apply for a scholarship. Take the example of Vijaya from Seondha. Vijaya was already an Electronics engineer but wanted to become an Indian Public Services officer. She even quit her job to prepare but as luck would have it, she could not clear the preliminary that was held in 2017. A good friend of hers informed of the opportunity to apply for a scholarship by the Glow and Lovely Careers. When Vijaya applied and was selected for the scholarship, it gave her the chance to focus completely on her IPS preparation, freeing her of the stress and financial burden.

To follow your passion and become a successful woman, you may need help that might not be easily available at times. These women showed us the power of persistence and also finding the right help. If you too feel like you need some financial aid in order to pursue your education or prepare for an exam, you should certainly try to apply for a scholarship with the Glow and Lovely Careers.
