Pro Tips for Freshers- Keep what’s good, fix what’s wrong, and unlock great

Freshers are like flower buds that can become beautiful flowers if we take good care

The corporate world is changing and while some companies are and will likely remain stuck in the stone-age (I’m praying for them), many are adopting a fresh perspective when it comes to their greatest assets.

FIRST GOLDEN RULE FOR FRESHERS – NEVER GET DISAPPOINTED “Intelligent, successful, attractive people can be intimidating. They force us to hold a mirror to ourselves; we can be disappointed, jealous or inspired toward personal growth.” This is where we have to stand up and pick up the positive things rather than getting disappointed and not Trying.

It is very difficult for the fresh graduates to get in.There are some certain observations;

1. Fresher’s aimed at very high salaries and companies.

2. Don’t have exposure to the market and professional life, Immediately after a cool lifestyle at college.

3. Reluctant to start their careers with low salaries and more demands.

The same happened to my friend when he left business school. With dreams of Ideal MNC and handsome salary.

To get something in your life you have to work really hard.As a friend, I want to convey something to you.

Don’t go or set your priority for the big name or Big Brand. Start your carrier at the company (No matter big or Small) available to you at first and It will help you to Kickstart your Career. Stick to the company for a while and after sometime when you learn through experiences and life in an Organisation, companies will follow you. Normally MNC’s hire freshers as MTO’s, internees etc, But the big boots are filled up with the experienced person in the same field and again no matter how big or small company or Organisation.

Pressure – It varies from project to project and profile to profile. Few might get into a relaxing project while others will have to sweat. Keep one thing in mind, initial two years are very important. The more you learn the easier it gets to grow in the coming years. Don’t feel jealous of those who are sitting in cafeterias. The difference will be visible very soon

For initial 4–5 months’ you are understanding the trade of business, Your role, and your specialty. “The transition from Campus to Corporate is not always pleasant. So be prepared to come out of your comfort zone.”

Do not expect too much money initially as that is the byproduct of your hard work and commitment.

As a CEO of an IT Company (Websetters), I guess your salary and employment depends upon these factors :

1) The institute you pass out from 20%
2) Your previous and lifestyle experience 20%
3) Your Graduation Degree 15%
4) The Profile you are recruited for 25%
5) The Company Recruiting you 15%
6) The City where you would be posted 5%

Conclusion: The Catch

*) Be up-to-date with the current trends and buzz words
*) You have to keep on upskilling yourself because the industry is growing multifold and senses stagnancy when people refuse to ‘upgrade’
*) Put your running shoes on – You need to learn to be on your toes
*) You need to be patient in dealing with the big bad world out there
*) Don’t play politics but do not be silent victims of one
*) It is extremely important not to carry your work home or bring your home to work. In other words, from the beginning itself, learn to keep your professional and personal lives separate
*) It is good to be competitive but not jealous
*) It is time to put the theoretical knowledge to practical use now! Buck up…
