AdviceTitle : Advice to Students & Job seekers by Industry ProfessionalsGo through with the latest added Advices by Professionals from Britannia, Mphasis, Biocon, Accenture, Tata Elexi, As a part of company I can say that: I am looking for a person who is going to manage ambiguity, who is going to manage uncertainty, who is fair, trustworthy and high in values and who is going to manage risk.So overall if I put that into one basket I am looking at an entrepreneur. Are you in your institute developing entrepreneur skills in your people?? Are you developing leaders or good team members? Mr Arindam Chakraborty, Corporate HRM, Britannia 1. Your career starts not when you graduate from your institute but your career starts the day you join institute. 2. It’s important that you have fun, you have your own share of all the campus adventures but at the same time it’s very important that you take your curriculum very seriously. 3. You should also look at what is the critical success factors which are required to make you survive and be successful in the corporate world. 4. How do you use your time in the campus, not just to complete your curriculum but also built some of those capabilities 5. So Focus on what you want to do, what career you want to built, how did you get there from the day one when you enter the campus and not on the last day when you get out of the campus? 6. I am sure with the above things you will get a great profession.
One is about the leadership: While leadership is generally spoken about as a trait reserved for people who have been living with a kind of status in life. I find that leadership is all about individual. Leadership starts right from your college days. Even at your home your child is a leader in some sense so every student needs to understand that he or she is also a leader. He or she is leading that particular subject. When that person gets a first job, in that first job that person also has to lead that particular thing. He or she may be master of that particular thing and no body knows better than him or her. He or she may have the innovation or creative ideas. Then why not lead? So that's the first point. Number two is to lead with passion. Something which you are proud of, you are confident about leaded with passion, with love then the energy is seen by everyone. People sometimes know that you do not have experience, people know that you might not have got huge amount of years behind you but people know that your are excited, you have energy, you are dedicated, you are self driven, you are creative and that can not go unnoticed. That is always taken by people. Every college has a certain brand that’s why the organization come to them but ultimately the selection depends upon how a student performs in the interview. The interviewer is assessing your knowledge level and ability to apply that knowledge so it’s important that your fundamentals are strong. 1. They look at how you are able to approach a problem. They are not so bothered about the correctness of your answers but rather the approach to the problem correct. Similarly are would assess how logical you are in your thinking. 2. Finally the key think is your learning ability because how much you have learnt that’s only a small portion. There is a lot of learning that you need to do on the job because technology is changing rapidly and you need to continually learn in order to be on the top. 3. People are looking that what you have done other than your studies. How have you channelled your energy in extra curricular activities that help build your personality? 4. Once you get into the organization, what is important is your ability to work with other people. It’s not just your knowledge which is important, but how you use your knowledge and work along with other people and produce better result. People who are loners may now find difficult it because now they have to be dependent on other people in system to produce better result. My Advice to all the students and first job seeker is : 1) They should be very disciplined in the process 2) They should be hard working 3) Committed towards their work 4) They should do their assignments properly 5) They should try and understand whatever is thought in the class 6) They should try and apply it to the real life situations 7) They should work out for every problem that was there at the end of the chapter. 8) They should learn to ask more questions I think if they do all of these things, they would be wonderful Mr NR Narayana Murthy
a) For first job seekers I would say that you have to think of not only a job but a profession, a long term career that is a very firm belief I have, now a days first jobseekers are looking at short term scenario, they are looking at jobs. You should have stability in mind. So look at profession, don’t look at a job. b) Relate yourself with the real word and not only with the bookish knowledge. The tendency of people who are recruited from a campus is that they remain very bookish, extremely bookish and they want to carry it to the work place. The work place doesn’t function according to what you have studied. c) The sooner you try to get out of the course related books, get closer to the real world, read a lot what is currently going on, read news papers, magzines, read as much as possible. d) Try to get your fundamentals clear that will help you in a big way. e) Try to keep your eyes and ears open. I keep on telling it to batches after batches that if you are in a particular role you only think of that role. For example- If you are in a credit department, don’t think that your role is only credit. The Bank is a larger place as I said if you are planning long term, you may be the CEO of organization in which you have to do a lot of other things but only if you are planning long term. f) Read, read and read because that will enhance your value in the job market. The moment prospective employers come to know that you are not only good in credit but you have so much knowledge in other areas of banking, then it’s a big value addition for you. Asish SenGupta
The advice would be: 1. To go beyond their books 2. To try & connect to what they study and what practically is happening in the market .the world outside, in the economy 3. They should be well aware of how to apply their skills in which they are well rather than answering the questions in the same way as they are in the text books. 4. They need to focus on application skills 5. A large focus should also be on Communication, not necessarily talking about English, it’s just the ability to focus their ideas and just be able to express them 6. A real and longer summer training or a stint of field work 7. And Ultimately an Ability to learn, ability to lead & correct attitude. Mr. K.S. Kumar
