The students will look forward to
the college placement office to organize campus interviews from prestigious
organization. Apart from this they may look at options to build skills and
competencies which may increase their probability of getting the right job
while they are in final year or after completing their course. There are different
perspectives to look at the challenges all players are facing in industry - student’s
perspective, college's perspective and organization's perspective. In this blog I
am talking about student’s perspective.
Not knowing exactly what one
should take up as their career will attend the first campus interview and do
their best to get selected, with an acceptable offer in hand but no date of
reporting mentioned in that! College placement center as a policy will not
allow this student to participate in another campus interview organized later.
Student will get confused if someone who is less performed academically compared
to him/her gets an offer with date of joining also mentioned. Added to this
challenge, they also get a letter sometimes from the organization where they
have offer letter in hand, that the recruitment plan and training moved to next
quarter due to business reasons. Students are really in confused status at that
stage. The parents of such students are more worried about what to do when
their qualified son/daughter is idle with offer letter in hand but not sure when
he/she will start the career.
Parents may look for opportunity to
sponsor for some other skill building training so that their probability of
getting job increases. Potential skills to enter into software engineering are:
Basics knowledge of software development life cycle (SDLC), Process models
(like ISO 9001-2008, CMMi, TMMi), Test engineering skills. This will help them
to understand the role of software testing in building quality software. From
this stage either they can take career in test engineering path or software
development path (after learning their choice of programming languages and/or various other software development tools).
Love to hear different views or
comments from the student or impacted parents community.
