Friends,

Completion of university degree is not enough. One should check their interest in future. Make your roadmap and put milestones to achieve. Assign each milestone tasks and follow complete all tasks.

I agreed that fresh student should have presentation skills. One should know how to deal with different levels of people.

 

Thanks

In the UK, a range of universities old and new, including Surrey, Leicester and Liverpool John Moores, are taking steps to make their graduates more employable.

They teach students how to get a job (dress, interview technique, what makes a good resumé), which is never simple. And more importantly, they help people understand how to operate once they have joined an organization. There are modules on being an effective colleague, managing people and getting things done.

Employers rarely say that graduates know too little about chemistry or accountancy. Instead, they often complain that they do not know how to use their academic knowledge in the workplace.

Make a goal per your expertise and interest and then plan a route to achieve that and follow it sincerely.Remember, every great things starts with good preparation, so prepare yourself well on the lines of goal you wish to achieve. If you have a goal, look for the steps that are required to fulfill the goal and execute them carefully to achieve the success. Best of luck.
