THIS IS FOR STUDENTS...

Dear all...THIS IS FOR STUDENTS...

     The major effect of the COVID-19 will be economy. The global economy and the Indian economy will get affected considerably. The demand in the job market will get affected. Also, organisations will rethink about the number of employees at various levels and might reduce the numbers. Therefore, we need to be proactive and do the following:-

  (a) If we are already employed, then we need to work dedicated to a level that the organisation feels we are the most important resource and cannot be removed. Change of job at this juncture is too risky. It takes considerable time for the economy to stabilise when it gets affected globally.

  (b) If we are still studying at the beginning or middle of a course, then we need to pull up, focus and do hard work on acquiring the knowledge, employability skills and higher competency levels in these, to a level that we are different, we are able to outperform others in the interview and the organisation feels we are the best and to be recruited without any choice or doubt. Added qualifications with generic courses or specific knowedge or skill sets relatated courses, global certifications, foreign language skills, patents, paper publications in peer reviewed journals, projects, internships, experience in generic jobs or specifica skills sets etc will help you to get identified differently in a crowd and make your job prospects better.

   (c) If we are in the final year, then we have one more year during which time you have to do the above quickly.

   (d) Those who have already passed out this month and not got job need to do the above quickly or else look at higher education option to avoid waste of time.

   (e) Decide corporate or govt or public sector...if higher studies, then course, subject, whether India or abroad etc.... much earlier and prepare well. The demand for people in all markets will get affected because of COVID-19. So, we need to be proactive.

  (f) Follow a multi-pronged approach so that you do not fall down and get some job or course or occupation to meet your means and ends and don't sit idle at home. If you are a boy it is all the more important in our culture to get employed somewhere, as boys are supposed to work and not sit at home, and whereas, girls can easily bail out and get engaged and remain engaged in life through marriage, family etc during such hard times and look at career later after a gap. Of course, girls who have career as their priority will surely shine and get their dream job.

  (g) If you have restrictions, please consider throwing them away. Keep an open policy of anywhere, any-job etc so that you don't curtail your oppurtunities. Or accordingly become too strong in employability in the industry or sector you are looking at.

  (h) Most of the jobs have the requirement of certain common knowledge and skill sets. Each job will need certain specific knowledge and skill sets too. So, we need to prepare accordingly.

   (i) Outstanding written and oral English communications skills is the basic to be employable and it comes by speaking and writing more in a day with the person with whom you communicate more in a day!...Use your love and lover effectively for acquiring this skill...at least some use will be there in life out of this relationship to feel thankful at the end!!

In short, just wake-up and jump out before you fall down!!

peacefully yours.....Rams!!
