Dear all...THIS IS FOR STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS...
Every one wants a job and every parent is worried if their ward will get a good job and settle in life faster.
We need to understand that just a degree certificate can not get us a job. It is the knowledge, professional and personality skill sets and experience we have that will get us a job!...So, we need to quality ourselves to be 'employable' with all these.
Every job requires a specific kind of knowledge, skill sets and experience. Every human being has a specific set of knowledge, skill sets and professional or personal experience in life. If both match, then they get that job. Else No!!
So, we need to understand that one can not get all types of jobs. Many get depressed if they don't get a job in campus placement or outside campus placement. It is not correct. It only means that the person does not possess the required things for 'that' job at that moment. That is all. If we want that job again or in a different organisation or same 'kind' of job, then one has to prepare hard to acquire that knowledge, skill sets and experience. That is all. If not now, in the next interview or later they can get such kind of job.
If one wants to get a core job or IT industry job or job in entertainment industry or any other industry, then one has to google, talk to experts in that industry and find out the things they need to posses...the 'employability' requirements in that industry...and accordingly focus and prepare hard to acquire them, so that they get employed in that industry. ('industry' is not one organisation, it is a group of organisations which provide products or services with 'similarities'.)
Just possessing the qualities is not enough. It only makes the person to get inside the interview hall. But in a competitive environment where lakhs appear for few jobs, we have to have 'higher competency levels' in the core knowledge or skill sets.
so...
1. Never get upset if you don't get a job. Every one can not get every job. It does not mean you can not do well in life or can not get any job. You can get the same job that you did not get after you acquire the employability needs and competency levels required for that job.
2. English is a common worldly professional language. So, good fluency, accent and style are vital. Even if you have 99% you may not get any job if you don't have fluency in English. Knowing more global languages is beneficial e.g spanish, chinese, german, french, japanese. Knowing only the Indian regional languages can not help to get a job.
3. Every interview gives you a learning experience of knowing where you are strong or weak. It shows where you need to concentrate and improve upon. So, no interview is a waste if you take the results positively to improve you further.
4. Every exam and interview requires a specific kind of preparation. Without focused, strategic and hard preparation we can not win any exam or interview. So, know what is required, and prepare well.
5. we need to be interested and strong in at least one subject of our course. Because the interviewer does not know where to start the professional interview, where you are strong at, so, after the routine first question 'tell me something about you and your family!' invariably the next routine question that he asks is 'which is your favourite subject?'. If you are empty there, then they assess that you don't know anything, you are a 'surface-grazer', don't have the habit of going deep and wide in acquiring knowledge and knowing things and are hollow. If you are strong at your favourite subject then they get the basic confidence in you and move on for further probing.
6. Parents should stop spreading wrong assessments that 'engg is waste' 'all corruption every where' etc if their ward is not groomed or prepared for a job, by him/her and the institution. Parents should not 'grow' the children, but groom to face the outside world, get a job, adapt to everyone and every thing and blend easily and quickly. e.g many mothers make their children to get addicted to their food preparation that many children do not eat in hostels or work places, starve, lose weight, HB goes low, faint, get health problems, get psychological problems and leave their dream college, best course or the best job and come back home!!...Now all the hard work put in by all at home for good 15 years goes in the drain!!...Finally parents cry and take off all their steam on that child saying 'you are useless!!..a big waste!!' etc and make them psychiatric patients. What is the use of such parenting??
7. Where you study and what you study is not important. How you study and how you prepare for job interviews is what is important!!
8. Many get confused as to 'core job' or 'IT job' or 'Govt job' or 'Public sector job' or 'entertainment industry' or 'legal' or 'journalism'...the list is endless!!...Go to a psychologist or test yourself with standard tools available in net, find out your interests and skills in reality, not fantasy, and decide. If you are an outstanding student then probably you can focus on one type of job. But if you are an average student then it is better to write down the common knowledge and skills the companies or entrance exams look for, prepare hard on them, so that we are eligible for all types of interviews, industries and entrance exams. The uncommon topic knowledge or skills, probably we can improve upon further based on time availability and interests.
9. Today it is easy to change over to your passionable job or industry at any stage in life. Computers and IT provide the path way to enter into any field of our interest, as, both these have invaded every aspect of industry and life. Therefore, don't worry about the 'type' of first job. Just grab it, if you are an average student and the economy of family warrants you to work and earn or you want work experience or feel the job world.
10. If you are that high intelligent, high caliber, top ranker, all rounder variety then you may remain focused on your dream passion job and wait.
11. Anyway, we do that high tech job with our own hands only for the first few years. After that we only do 'management' of managing the projects, Human Resource in our team, etc.
All the best...
Keep rocking....Rams...Health Psychologist...
