8. According to me the most practical approach for the
problem for a just or about to graduate student would be
facing the campus interviews in a confident manner by
preparing well for them. Campus interviews are the best
way of getting the job. Not limiting to campus placement
one should apply for an off-campus jobs.
9. Most disruptive idea for a recently graduated student is to
join a start up company. Since the future of the company
cannot be predicted it can be a risk of joining it. But if the
company clicks it would give one a huge success at a very
young age. A person can always develop himself more in a
new company rather than a established one, since a new
company gives more opportunities to sharpen one’s skills.
10. My favorite idea is to join a well established organization
either by doing an internship in the same organization or by
meeting the needs of the organization during the
interviews. Since in established organizations one is
provided with all facilities and these companies will have
established and structured way of work. If one is very
talented there is no looking back and sky would be the limit
for growth. These companies will also pay good amounts to
their employees for their work.
