Right then, did you ever try to find out if you are an entrepreneur or a good employee (or may be just another tom, dick or harry in your company)? Did the thought of analyzing your self on some of the personality traits you may display at work and off it cross your mind off late? Did you ever feel that you are an "Entrepreneur Stuck in an Employee's Body" but could never confidently say this to your peers (or even to yourself)? Well - let us spend the next 30 odd minutes in reading this article (with inputs from www.entrepreneur.com) and then infer if there is an entrepreneur waiting to be unleashed within ourselves. Entrepreneur, as many of us who are at the middle or senior levels of their professional careers like to address themselves as, are a breed that is unfazed by failures and enjoy what they are doing. Problems for them are mere roadblocks, which they like - as this gives them another opportunity to learn. An  entrepreneur  is an owner or manager ...

Losing your night's sleep because you can't stop thinking about that interview which may take you to your FIRST Job? Not feeling confident about the professional meeting next day? Well - I am sure almost every single person who is yet to get his first (or even second/third) job and is really looking forward to one will have only one answer to these questions - "YES" So what does it take to crack that interview? Is there any fool proof mechanism by which you are sure to get a job? Let us try and decode these question marks in the next 15 odd minutes. Handle Pressure Well : It is very easy to succumb to pressure and nervousness before the interview or even during it. But let me tell you something here - no one expects a fresher to be a "Rocket Scientist" while he/she applies for his/her first job! The employer, in most of the cases, also recognizes that you are still fresh and are entering a completely new arena, fresh from your college/school lives. They ...

I was visiting my Kanpur Office for a campus interview with HCL Infosystems Ltd. It was a fantastic show by my team in Kanpur and we saw some good results by the end of day! Quite a few of our students (I work for IIJT Computer Education Ltd in Placements) got jobs in HCL Infosystems Ltd and this like always was a fantastic feeling to see your students placed. If that wasn't all, I got another reason to be happy! One of the local TV channels in UP East took a bite from me and my colleague while covering that event in Kanpur - My First Bite!!! Cheers Sumit

"India - the land of opportunities" this old saying about our country still holds true without a doubt! India has the second largest population in the world and is geographically the 7th largest country - which makes it an amazing source of  talent acquisition. We are the youngest country in the world, with our average age in the mid twenties. This means India, as compared to any country has more raw manpower at present. No wonder the US and UK took a lot of our talent away for their job opportunities in sectors like Engineering, IT and Medical. The recent quake called "Recession" rocked the entire world and we were also not left out of it. Millions lost their jobs and many of them are still struggling to find their feet in the market today. However, the fresh talent (people who are yet to get their first job and are in the age group of 18 to 26) in the Rural Areas and Tier B & C cities is facing a major challenge! There is a SKILL GAP in these people whi...
