Career objective, extracurricular activities and personal strength and other non figurative terms are fictions and rank no where in the priority list of recruiters.
Increasing density of MBA colleges is broadening the campus recruitment channel for recruiters and hence revealing unique dimensions of selection process for the best hunt. Group discussion, interview rounds and test are now framed in three dimension; domain knowledge, market awareness and experience.
Either most of the colleges design their academics matching with the industry pattern or privilege students a corporate trainer but the rest two things are out of its circumference and require serious efforts. Keeping track of business happenings through note from news papers, business magazines and websites is the best tool kit for market awareness but needs discipline and time whose shortage is common among MBAs. Some websites like Internsindia.com that working for the student welfare are providing ready-made business news analysis and are the best source to access the required information with in few minutes.
Next dimension is experience, internships and live projects should be seriously taken by student as an opportunity to add experience on his CV. Companies around the globe are opting live projects and internships as a tool to judge the real-time performance of students for final placement. Performance in the live projects and the reference of the companies moves the negotiation power on student’s side. But the problem emerges when students look for a live project in desired sector which again depends on the capability of college to call companies from every sector. A student should be ready in advance with some sort of research proposal to influence the company. Internsindia.com has solved even this very problem of students by providing internships and live project through out the year and it also takes care of sector, location and project preference.
Working on these dimensions will equip student with the right information and brand backup for group discussion, interviews and test .To work on live projects is to work on some business problem of companies rather slogging in functional activities like sales and promotions. Double check your CV on these dimensions before appearing for campus placement.
