“Change begins at the end of your comfort zone.” — Roy T. Bennett
The Transition from your school to college life is hard. Some even move out of their homes to unfamiliar environments. You meet a diverse group of people, face new challenges, and work towards making a successful career. This is the start of something new, your college life!
College is an exciting phase of life. It marks the beginning of you becoming more responsible and independent. Students have various aspirations and dreams as they join college. But do all those dreams get fulfilled? In many cases, it does not. Bollywood has made these unrealistic expectations of our college life in our minds. But in the real world, it’s not all sunshine and roses.
It’s going to be a challenge. But remember,
Be happy. No matter what happens, strive for happiness.
Be loving. No matter what happens, be compassionate.
Be humble. No matter what happens, accept defeat.
Be strong. No matter what happens, persevere.
After their college, Students either want to do their own businesses or want to get placed in a reputed company. And as much as you expect from your college, the companies expect even more!
In today’s hyper-competitive world where everyone is doing internships, a plethora of online courses, and taking part in numerous co-curricular activities, you need to stand out.
You need to prove to the company that you are better than the crowd.
The rule that the recruiters follow is simple, go in for a candidate whose ROI or Return on Investment is the best for their organization.
With the changing times and demands, college CGPAs and reputations are no more the criteria for selection.
It’s a strong belief in corporates that great work comes from a cohesive team and well-synced teammates. So when they hire a fresher, they are looking for a professional, not a person who wants to work alone from 9 to 5. The candidate’s attitude affects the relationships they have with their co-workers and supervisors, as they spend a good amount of time in the day with their colleagues and need to build a rapport. Communication skills have become the order of the day as it has become a key factor in judging and analyzing a candidate. A good communicator equipped with decent technical skills is sought-after in any industry.
Companies also seek for the candidate, who feels it’s never too old to learn something new. With the pace at which the world is changing, adaptability is the need of the hour.
Last but not the least, A company wants to invest in an individual who has genuine zeal and enthusiasm towards their work and takes the initiative to do things better.
All of this will take you ‘ ONE STEP CLOSER’ to your goal in life.
It is about connecting the things that you do with the activities that are alien or new to you. That is how you remain curious, you experience creativity. You ask questions of how to do this, you take your time, you do focus, you find some way and you are satisfied. So now the fire of desire in you burns brighter and you aim higher. It helps you in being consistent.
Mentor could be anyone who understands you, empathize with you, supports you and directs you. We could be our mentor. Sounds silly but when you talk with yourself, you are naturally uplifted. Talk by journaling, talk with fresh mind-after meditation. Talk with people who have the potency to guide you.
So, in conclusion of smart perseveration what you need is a good hold on these 3 c’s: Curious, consistent and creative.
