1. Interview with a
graduate student who
has just completed her
forth year and is looking
for a job after her
internship

2. SAY
I’m an electronics and communication student who is currently looking
for a job after my internship gets over.
I want to pursue a job right now. No, I have not thought about studying
further in any field whatsoever.
I have tried to apply for a job from my college and also checked sites on
the internet regarding the same .
My classmates with a CGPA of 6/7 have got a job from the college but
even after having a CGPA of 9.4 I’m unable to do so .
Both my internships were in the instrumentation sector so now people
tell me that my field is instrumentation and not my branch and I should
pursue my career in it
I’m not really sure what I want to do and thus I am trying to find the
requirements of different fields for job.
I’m also looking for a job in the company that I recently interned for.
I thought my interviews went well (till the GD or interview) but I was not
selected.
I don’t think they see qualifications over your work experience and the
quality of the work you have done in the past also matters.
I’m not sure whether my CVs fail to impress them or is it some other
reason

3. SAY
Maybe contacts also matter in the industry
I've only applied in the place where I live for a job or around it .
 Interviews of different companies varied from taking aptitude
test, checking technical knowledge, creativity , and ability to handle
the task at hand .
I am not sure if my college has been able to teach me the skills
required to adapt to this ever changing industry .
I myself should have applied more time and energy in learning
about the company I wanted to work for or have at least discovered
my area of interest .
I don’t know if I feel ready enough to handle an actual job.

4. DO

5. THINK

from her college .
It would have been better if her internships actually taught
her a lot rather than a little about the industry as her mentor
thought she was too young and inexperienced for giving her
very important work.
 she would have liked to develop more soft skills and given
thought to what she really liked.
There is no specific set of skills needed ,it totally depends
upon the job they were hiring .
You need connections
Lucks plays a huge role.

interests in college properly.

you by.
