The campus season is slowly showing its blooming face. Though the conditions aren’t so favorable yet, it seems as if “Mr. Recession” is slowly waving a sayonara to all the troubled engineers.
To all the engineers out there in the crowd, there is a very good news coming their way. The faces of the passing-out engineers and passed-out engineers are slowly glowing again by knowing the fact that the recession period is now slowly fading away with time. There are many positive hopes coming our way in the upcoming months. The devil of recession which had rendered so many people jobless is now departing from our nation. Let the blessings of Lord be always bestowed upon us.
Now, as the sun of recession is setting, how about reading a good article about the various things that can help us get good jobs. First of all know what you want. Open the doors of your heart and ask your heart what it wants to become. There are many people out there in the crowd who were very much interested in animation and car designing but ended up as software engineers because of the ease with which the jobs were available and also because of the temptation which was created in their minds due to the huge packages they were offered with. Result- they were thrown out of the company during the recession period as they did not show the necessary dedication which was expected by the company managers. Whereas those who did not bother about the money part and just stuck to the fields they liked the most were never chucked out because of the dedication they showed towards their jobs. That is why it is very necessary to know what you want to become in your life.
Second thing- Be very careful with your resumes. The simpler it is, the greater are the chances for you to get selected. If a company demands very high percentage (it is quite evident that they will ask for people with high percentage because they want hard working quality engineers) try to go for it. Try to avoid small software companies. They will definitely throw the freshers away during difficult times. Try to join big companies in the software field. In other fields, recession does not hit so hard. So if you are looking out for a software job try to join big companies which are widely recognized at the international level. Wipro provides much job security as compared to Infosys. So decide well as to which company suits you the best. Take a close look at the performance of the company and the policies laid out by them for the benefit of their workers. Do not wear very complex or sluggish dresses while going to interviews. Do not worry too much about the mistakes you make during the interview. A mistake can be rectified by concentrating on the present situation. Never be too conditioned on getting a job. Have a free mind. There are lots of companies out there giving tons of opportunities to interested people. Never be too afraid about the idea of being thrown out during the interview. Play your part and free your mind. Leave the rest up to them and you will be surprised to find out that your confidence levels will boost up when you walk in with such an attitude. Never feel too frustrated. And always remember that the interviewer is watching you. Each and every thing you do will be noticed by the interviewer. So do not fiddle around or chat with someone on your mobile phone.
The reason why so many students are afraid during the interview is because they imagine instances where they cannot answer the interviewer. So it is better to think that you have all the necessary things that are required to pass the interview. If this also does not work out just try to think that all the people around you are lame people and do not know much about the subject as compared to you. This will bring down the beats of your heart. Be very confident during the interviews. The basic requirement of any company is good English. So tweak your English speaking skills and try speaking with an eloquent style. Doesn’t matter if you use simple words but use it with much efficiency. Also try to use a few phrases which can make your speech a bit different. Do not forget to use question tags. These leave a very good impression on the mind of the person who is interviewing you. Also do not forget to stay in touch with the current events. The interviewers will be interested in knowing if you have good reading skills and will hence ask you about the paper you like reading the most. In terms of quality I find Deccan Herald to be the king of all the papers in Karnataka. Indian Express is also a good one but it loses it out to the likes of TOI and Deccan Herald in Karnataka. Whereas if you are in Maharashtra you will find that the quality of Indian Express is just awesome. So never forget to take a look at all the different papers that are around you and decide on which one is the best. If you are not so good at English consider asking about it to an English expert friend or any English teacher of yours. Generally throughout India TOI and Indian Express have a good feedback. Remember, your best paper has to be the one which you know very well. You will be asked question like “why do you like _____ paper so much?” Do not try to show off by saying that you like it because it has a very good quality. Instead focus on the things that you like the most in your paper. For e.g. Indian express comes with very good supplements during Fridays and Sundays. This makes up for a very impressive answer. Also make it a point that the paper you read suits your interests. Like say TOI gives a very good summary of the Sports events. So you make it a point by saying that as TOI gives a very good summary of the matches in the Sports section you prefer reading it rather than the other papers. Also remember the sequence of the categories as in your favorite paper. E.g.:
1. International news
2. National news
3. Districts
4. Business
5. Sports
6. Metro
7. Special features…….
One thing to remember during the interviews is that the smartness of your brain is of much importance. If you think that tidying up yourself is going to help you a lot then let me tell you that you are mistaken. No wonder the first impression is made by your overall looks, but later it is the smartness of your brain which is going to save you. Always try to enter such interviews where your score is a bit more than the cut-off which is set by the company. So that if you end up having a tie with some other person your marks will help you get the job.
Wear dresses of good quality during an interview. I agree that by the end of the day your dresses will lose all their shapes and the stiff iron which was applied to it, but a good dress gives you much dignity and you will feel more involved in the game. Also remember that in interviews it is getting selected which is more important and not pulling others down. If you constantly grab chances and do not allow others to speak you will be definitely chucked out. So do not attack everybody like a mad bull having large horns. Always speak when you get the chance to speak. Always speak differently. Let your way of approach separate you from others. Have face to face contact with everybody in the campus hall (leaving aside the tea and snacks suppliers).
In the list of your favorite subjects in the resume write only those subjects that you know from top to bottom. Anything asked and you should be able to answer them as in a rapid fire round of the quiz contests. Never leave any stone unturned. Take each and every chance to show your talents. Until and unless you open your mouth the interviewer will never know your strengths. Never show your weaknesses during the interview. Never shake or tremble much while answering the questions asked to you. If you are shaking too much just take a long breath and hold your breath this shall reduce the beats of your heart and bring your excitation under control. If the beats are way too large breathe out and hold the breath till your excitement reduces.
As for the clothes part, it is better to wear white shirt and black (or dark) trousers. Girls are well off with sarees. Do not show off under any circumstances. It is a very bad habit. Nobody likes people who show off too much. Wear a tie and a good blazer if possible. It is makes up for a very good dress code. Always have a smile on your face. A smile can work out great wonders many a times. So best of luck and,
Have a cool day !!!!!!!!
