"The biggest problem we face today is not UNEMPLOYMENT but UNEMPLOYABILITY." What do employers look for in a candidate? What skills make you employable? Besides technical skills and subject knowledge, employers expect employees to have language skills, communication skills, social and interpersonal skills, leadership, motivation, and a positive attitude. Here are ten tips to enhance your employability while in campus:
1. Set SMART goals - Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound. Dream about your goals daily.
2. Read English newspapers daily.
3. Communicate in English with classmates and faculty without worrying about grammar or fluency.
4. Watch quiz, news, and informative programs in English media to learn from successful individuals.
5. Participate in extracurricular activities and management fests.
6. Seek feedback from peers to improve your performance and personality.
7. Avoid comparing yourself to others; focus on developing your unique identity.
8. Stop complaining about external factors and cultivate a positive attitude.
9. Find a mentor to guide and motivate you in your career and life.
10. Use positive self-affirmations to boost confidence and ignore unproductive criticism.
