If you are a student in an engineering or MBA institute that is not among the top 100 in the country, there are chances that you might not get a placement or might have to settle for a very average pay. This is irrespective of the economic scenario and the hiring plans of companies. A survey covering 200 engineering colleges and 200 MBA institutes beyond the top 100 reveals that, on an average, only 15-20% engineering students, and about only 30-40% management students get placed. Moreover, the average salaries for the engineering passouts range between Rs 10,000 and Rs 15,000 per month, while for MBA graduates, they are between the Rs 12,000-15,000 band. The survey by Elements Akademia, a talent and training company, covered 20 cities including Kanpur, Bhopal, Indore, Coimbatore, Madurai and Ahmedabad over two years from 2008. It evaluated placements and salaries of the last three years.

I wish to share my layoff story with my fellow Netizens across the globe. It is really sad that I rushed madly to run after opportunities and landed innocently in this middle class landmine called ‘recession’, which is the result of greediness of IT industry bigwigs and globalization! It is funny that Indian Government is giving statements that there is no recession in India . With great perseverance, only to catch up with the nexgen at the age of 40+ and with a curiosity for first hand information to know the inside great stories of affluence, I got into the IT industry in October, 2007 and my CMD got the smell of ‘recession’ by October 2008 and asked me to issue pink slips. At first we stopped increments and finding ways to identify non-performers. I have finished the task with great pain and felt that they are cursing me and I may lose my job. To my utter amazement, finally, the compass of ‘layoff’ started pointing out towards me. I came out gently and struggled for four months. Som...

Being a corporate trainer in Soft Skills, I have to stand and deliver lectures and training sessions for two to three hours continuously. Suddenly one fine day, I have discovered that I got this deadly but sweet disease called ‘Diabetes’! Naturally, like anybody else, I was panic in the beginning. When I visited my home city Hyderabad, I heard about this wonder herbal controller of Diabetes ‘Stevia’. ‘Stevia’ is well known worldwide as three hundred percent more sweeter herb than sugar. Now, people discovered that most of our diseases caused due to the volume of sugar use in day-to-day life. To carry on with my professional life and to fulfill my dreams and ambitions, I have switched to ‘Stevia’, which has become my companion for cheerful life for the past six years. Amazing, it was it has become a part of my family life and my wife has endorsed the product in a local TV channel as she also enjoyed the benefit of using ‘Stevia’ and got rid of her painful units of using insulin, thre...

Sound mental health is the very goal of any human activity more so management. An expert describes sound mental health as that state of mind which can maintain a calm, positive poise or regain it when unsettled in the midst of all the external vagaries of work life and social existence. Internal constancy and peace are the pre- requisites for a healthy stress-free mind. Some of the impediments to sound mental health are : * Greed -for power, position, prestige and money. * Envy -regarding others' achievements, success, rewards. * Egotism -about one's own accomplishments. * Suspicion, anger and frustration. * Anguish through comparisons. The driving forces in today's rat-race are speed and greed as well as ambition and competition. The natural fallout from these forces is erosion of one's ethico-moral fibre which supersedes the value system as a means in the entrepreneurial path like tax evasion, undercutting, spreading canards against the competitors, entrepreneurial sp...

"No work in all Indian literature is more quoted, because none is better loved, in the West, than the Bhagavad-gita. Translation of such a work demands not only knowledge of Sanskrit, but an inward sympathy with the theme and a verbal artistry. For the poem is a symphony in which God is seen in all things....The Swami does a real service for students by investing the beloved Indian epic with fresh meaning. Whatever our outlook may be, we should all be grateful for the labor that has lead to this illuminating work." - Dr. Geddes MacGregor, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of PhilosophyUniversity of Southern California "The Gita can be seen as the main literary support for the great religious civilization of India, the oldest surviving culture in the world. The present translation and commentary is another manifestation of the permanent living importance of the Gita." - Thomas Merton,Theologian "I am most impressed with A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's s...

Recently, I had the opportunity of a life time to impart language skills and soft skills to the children of labourers who are working in a construction site.

By Andrea Coombes Provided by CareerJournal.com Meryl Streep's cold-hearted character in The Devil Wears Prada has nothing on real-life bosses gone bad. Consider the boss who gave an employee a written reprimand for "leaving work without permission"--after she passed out in the bathroom and was whisked by ambulance to a nearby hospital. Or the school principal who forced a teacher to work through the day even after the teacher said her arm was throbbing after slipping on ice outside the school. "He decided there was no way I could have broken my arm, probably just bruised it," the teacher wrote in an e-mail to MarketWatch. "During first period, my arm hurt horribly, but I continued teaching. But when I reached for chalk, and my fingers would not move, I did go [to the hospital] where my broken arm was set." Those are just two of the "bad boss" stories MarketWatch readers e-mailed in. But does your demanding boss really fall into the category ...

Post Globalisation, the word ‘Management’ is heard every where and its demand is growing in leaps and bounds. Communication skill i.e. ‘the power of talk’ is essential to succeed in any function of ‘Management’. Communication – the divine weapon Long ago, Mahakavi Kalidasa wrote in ‘Raghu Vamsa’, a great play: ‘Vaagartha Viva Sampruktau; Vaagartha Pratipattaye; Jagatah Pitarau Vande; Parvati Parameswarau’ ‘I salute Parvati and Parameswara, Parents of the Unvierse, To bless me with Expression and Meaning, For they are so united.’ Thus, Kalidasa knew that in communication, word and meaning should be closely blended. It is necessary to say or write what exactly we mean. Expression of feelings is the only differentiator, which separates human beings from other living beings. Communication is like divine weapon. If you misuse, it may become destructive weapon in the hands of a fool. There are people who enjoy felicitations with the power of their ‘speech’! There ...

Low-income individuals with limited exposure to the world of work may lack the "soft skills" needed to get a job, stay employed, and advance. Soft skills are the non technical skills, abilities, and traits that workers need to function in a specific employment environment. They include four sets of workplace competencies: problem-solving and other cognitive skills, oral communication skills, personal qualities and work ethic, and interpersonal and teamwork skills. Surveys of employers who hire entry-level workers reveal how important it is for job candidates to have soft skills. In Job Prospects for Welfare Recipients: Employers Speak Out, researchers found that a positive attitude and reliability are the two qualities that employers identify as most important when hiring someone for entry-level work (Regenstein et al., July 1998). Problems with interpersonal and other soft skills are a major barrier to employment that employers do not believe they can address on their own (W...
