Preparations for Graduating Students!!!

Sometimes, whenever I share any job on some job portal then it has been experienced that some people send their resumes to the sender of the job by mistake rather to apply directly. & mostly it has been observed in case of job for fresh graduates. Sometimes, I am astonished to see their resumes, their applications that those can’t be said to be the application of a graduate person. No doubt that I may have done the same when I was applying from the university but I think if I can guide someone now then maybe it can be better for them in their future.

I will note down some basic necessary skills which are required for university students to have equipped with. The agenda here will be starting from skills required, effective resume, & a little bit about interviews & interviewers. However, each of the above points needs a different post but I will summarize them here & afterwards I will try to write individually on all these insha ALLAH.

Entering in telecom industry is not so much easy as it was almost a decade ago. Universities are graduating a number of students & jobs market is little bit saturated that jobs for fresh graduates are not equally likely for the outcome from students. So, students must know & must have some edges from which they can earn points when they compete others. These edges can be a good GPA, your management skills, your internships, your technical knowledge, your presentation skills & your personality (way of talking).

Only GPA can’t make you better & can’t take you to the desired position. GPA does matter but not only GPA as there are many other things which a candidate must have to do the assigned job in effective manner.

Management skills are one of the most important part as these include how effective do you start your work and how effectively you make it complete till end. Which resources you were assigned? How have you utilized those?

Presentation skills are also very important as whatever you have done but if you present that in an effective manner then it values otherwise it is just a waste of time for others. You can consider it in your final year project or semester projects as if you present it effectively then you get success easily.

Personality talks itself. It doesn’t mean that how you looks but these are qualities that you must show to prove you a strong candidate for the job. It can be the way you talk to show you a responsible or a careless person. How you handle responsibility?

Always apply for the concerned job only. Applying for the wrong job just for the sake to know that what happens is not a good way. When some job is shared somewhere, apply for the job only if you fulfill 80% - 90% of the requirements of that job. Just to apply for fun & to see someone applying for that job that doesn’t mean that we must also apply for that.

Infact, sometime we think that we can deceive interviewer with showing those skills in resume which we exactly not have but we must keep this thing in mind that interviewer has also passed from this stage so he can judge us better. Once, I was talking to some of my colleagues that I must just prepare dumps for CCNA & I will clear CCNA certification. He gave me a very good advice that if I will have such certification with no practical knowledge about that, if interviewer asked me anything about CCNA & I will not be able to answer that then this will lead to waste my four year degree in front of him as he will think that if I have not enough knowledge related to this certification then similar will be my degree. So, it will be wisdom to add only relevant & true information in resume.

These were some points which I was thinking to share with you people as these seem little in number but very important. I had planned to add little about resume writing as well but this has already too long to share so I will share another post related to Resume Writing with you soon insha ALLAH.

May be this can be helpful for us. Whenever, I write something, I pray to Almighty ALLAH that maybe this can be useful for only a single one. Just pray to ALLAH for all & trust in HIM as HE listens each & everyone & delay in anything can be beneficial in long term. Keep sharing & your comments are awaited.
