This mentoring programme is not like spoon feeding you technical
knowledge. If you are allowed to join the mentoring you are
supposed to work hard
- In learning lot of technology oriented topics including - Processes
of Software companies/IT jobs, Lot of Software job terminologies ,
Storage Technology, Virtualization Technology(VMware),
Operating System(Linux), Perl(Scripting)
- Its more of a guideline based mentoring where you as a job
seeker as expected to put more effort,time to learn above
technical areas & be able to present them
- There will be lot of assignments in terms of learning, being able to
speak about them, mock interviews, group
3. discussions,presentation contests etc
- If you are someone who is just looking for training but not willing
to work from your side then this may not be for you
- Imagine if you get a job in IT you are supposed to learn things &
get the work done - its almost like that in here - You are supposed
to learn technical topics & you are supposed talk about them,
present on top of that knowledge, discuss & take it forward in
terms of implementing what you learned in terms of your work
- There will be less teaching from someone else to you & more of
you learning & being able to work on those complex technical
areas
- It may sound like someone is asking you to do a lot but yes there
will be some help & support from others
- Those who've learned already may be sharing their knowledge -
which helps you get the initial startup
- This is a completely different way of mentoring which is almost
trying to simulate a real IT work environment in many aspects
People wont be able to get a complete idea about it unless they
experience it.
People can get a lot of technical materials through google search
& download it easily but still they dont learn or build good
knowledge on them due to lack of constant motivation,support to
push oneself in their learning,constant feedback based on how
someone is progressing, team support in terms of
presentations,group discussions,mock interviews these are
something which people are not getting anywhere else with
respect to getting a software job. This is what you get in this
mentoring. This is NOT like normal technical training - this is more
like you working in a software company. YOU DONT need to travel
to any location for this. Since this mentoring is mostly online or
through phone. This is like you are working with a virtual team it is
almost like you are part of a virtual software company.
But let it be clear YOU ARE NOT BEING HIRED TO WORK - you are
being mentored so you gain the knowledge to work . This is
mentoring this is NOT a salaried job. Focus will be more on you
learning technical aspects,getting to know your progress,listening
to you explaining what you learned,giving you feedback,giving
you a team of which you will be a part , a team which helps you
participate in group discussions on technical topics,giving
4. presentations on technical topics , facing mock interviews . We
can go on & on & on but take initiatives & email & write in detail
about yourself to see if you get to experience it first hand.
