Had a discussion with college friend yesterday, So many things on changing scenarios and observations stunned us !!
A very common mistake we know that people deal with their
perception towards any course is, we feel that entering in to the course and reading
the study material makes us manager. A very good administrator who fetches 6 to
7 digit package in one stroke. Is it??! Really??
When we friends meet, we always discuss, whatever we have seen and
gone through in our colleges was only restricted to the books. And school life
was just heaven, which we never respected. Basic mistake we did during our
college is, we took it as granted and didn’t focused on our goals or missed to
take the SWOT analysis.{Seems Popular and sounds familiar...}
Major and important lesson is, “Life teaches you”, let’s not enter
into the philosophy of it. It is altogether a different topic. And lot can be
shared on it. But one important thing is “there is a huge class outside your
four walls of classroom”. This classroom can make you or break you. It is up to
you how you are prepared for it.
Don’t get over confident neither any need to lose hope in any
situation. But one must remember few things. Changing scenarios require
changing you on each step. After college what we want to do that we all know,
but when we are in college what is required is actually we miss. We think so
many things but our thoughts are not are practically explicable if do not know
what the scenario is. Why not to get prepared by the time we are appearing our
finals or are getting ready to step out to earn after whatever we learn. So,
what they {Companies} are looking for!!
1. They look for a superhero – if you have been an average
student, and do not have a superb educational background on the basis of which
you can negotiate your role and package. Then be prepared!! It is not scary but
it’s a fact. You have to be prepared with the concept of jack of all. You may
be having masters in some but why not to get prepared if you know that people
there are looking for a superhero. And why not, who wants a Zero except
increased one on pay cheques.
Simple
!! Pay attention on things
around. You may not be a book worm kind of a person but one can have
information in the era or society he or she live in. Information later can be
converted in to knowledge as per the requirement of your profession.
2. Knowing the role in depth – you need to be aware about the
nitty-gritty’s of the role you require to play. You might have conducted the research
about the role and company prior to an interview, but it is not enough, let me
tell you. Be prepared
3. It is not only Hiring based on the
interview – Interviews help in
revealing the candidate’s knowledge and functional skills {In professional and
Personal Life as well!!}. However, other critical aspects such as integrity and
non-functional skills are never revealed through interviews, Make sure that
your interview does not become monotonous and letter revealed as fake.
Companies prefer getting
references as reference checks help in getting first-hand feedback from people
who have worked with you. Now other
sources such as your social profiles, your circles etc etc are also equally
important.
4. Getting scared or fumble on interview – Don’t worry, it happens!! To be
very honest, I am not at all good in facing interview. That’s why I can
understand during personal meet, either you may speak a lot or stay mum... Sometimes
you have to leave it on the understanding of the interviewee. But Once, Twice
Trice ... that’s it.!, if you are failing to overcome then you need to work on
self.
Can we Start Preparing Now ?!!
