DECIDING ON A CAREER

1. Areas of Interest- The most preferred way to choose a career is to move ahead in an area where you have an interest. For instance, some people love to engage on Social Media, so their ideal career option would be a Social Media Analyst.

2. Involved Course Fee- check the respective course fee of different institutes and make a comparison in terms of syllabus, placement records, and reviews. It will help you handpick the best.
3. Identify the prospect- Make sure that your career choice continues to serve the industry in future. Take into account factors such as demand of respected professionals in the industry, the scope of the selected career, etc.

STARTING THE JOURNEY

1. Communicate your Vision- Let your parents and mentor know about your career choice. Seek their advice and come to a common platform where both of you are convinced about the journey that you are about to begin.
2. Continue research- Career development becomes firm with dedicated time for research. Continue to explore new dimensions in your career choice. This will keep you updated on the latest developments.
3. Industry growth- The industry that you would be operating in will directly have an impact on you. Therefore, you should be well aware of the potential that your industry possesses.

REMAINING FOCUSED

1. Stay focused- Mistakes are common and you should stay focused to learn from the mistakes and show your commitments towards the subject. Even if you feel that things are getting tougher, motivate yourself to move ahead and overcome the phase.
2. Performance Monitor- Monitoring your performance at each level is very important from the perspective of acquiring skill and talent. After all, you need to sell your skills at the professional level.
3. Grab the opportunities- As you move deeper into your career choice, there will be opportunities. Some would be easy and the other would be tough. Buy, never let an opportunity go.

When you begin your career as a fresher, one of the biggest challenge is the interview round. All your hard work, knowledge and skills is tested in an hour and sometimes within 15 minutes and most importantly you are required to prove yourself as an asset to the hiring company. Clearing an interview means you have your first job, hence, your efforts should not be less than 100%!

The interview process is an opportunity for employers to test candidates in terms of their knowledge, skill, behavior and seriousness towards the job. Here are a few things that you should keep in mind before you step into the interviewer’s room.

1) Crystal clear concepts – Employers are not looking for a genius. Their expectation is to find a candidate who has sufficient knowledge to tackle day-to-day challenges in the respective field. Any interviewer would want to ensure that you have crystal clear concepts of the basics.

2) Positive attitude – Throughout the interview make sure that you are positive. Even if you are questioned on something that you don’t know, request the interviewer to answer the same. As soon as you get the answer, thank the interviewer for informing you. This will give a hint to the interviewer that you are hungry for knowledge and self-development.

3) Punctuality – One of the most important aspects of getting selected in interviews is punctuality. If you are given a time of 12 in the afternoon, then reach the venue by 11:55 am. But don’t be late. Reaching too early is a wastage of time.

4) Proven records – Though most of the employers are looking forward to hiring experienced professionals. You can always impress them by showcasing the variety of work that you did on live projects. Try and give them a quick overview of the various aspects that you have worked on during the training period.

5) Reasonable salary – Employers are very specific about the salary that they will be required to pay. They would want to know what your salary expectation is at this point. Here don’t say something, which is beyond the industry rate. Keep it reasonable by researching on the salary trend so that both the parties can be benefited.

6) Independent thinking – Employers love candidates who can think independently and they are not dependent on the managers. It will help them follow the idea of their own and impress the employer. In a job interview, always share your opinion rather just sitting and answering the questions.

7) Be self-motivated – Employers look for candidates who can easily self-drive themselves. They like new hires who actually have a clear mind and know very well what the candidate wants from their life or career. The spontaneous candidate always makes the way out and feels that nothing is impossible in today’s competitive world.

Cracking an interview is easy if you have the right knowledge and can present yourself as an asset to the hiring company.

Karmick Institute wishes you all the best!

Money is a necessity, but knowledge is more important

Money is important in life. Money helps us buy our basic needs, comforts, and luxuries. With the help of money, we buy foods, houses, and clothes. But, still, money cannot buy everything. You cannot buy one’s knowledge, loyalty, trust and love with money. Though money is essential,you should have the knowledge to earn money decently. Similarly, if you have only knowledge, and you cannot use it to earn money, then the power of knowledge remains without benefits.

How to overcome a wrong career choice?

• Choosing your career after your parent – Engineer’s son will be an engineer, doctor’s son will become a doctor is a common thing in India. But, always it is not true.
