Expectation …
It is generally expected from the employer
that graduates should be equipped with a
balance of technical / Functional
knowledge & the relevant “soft skills”
required in the workplace after leaving the
colleges.
10. 12/4/201410
Reality …
Universities and colleges are doing traditional
activities i.e. providing old theoretical
knowledge by traditional techniques
even in the 21st century.
The current education system doesn’t equip
youngsters with the desired knowledge
and skill sets needed to excel in the practical
professional life.

60 Seconds??????
Studies show that job interviews are:
Basically decided within the first few moments
Based more on how much the interviewer/s like/s the
candidate
Not necessarily always based on the requirements of the
position or the background of the interviewee.
Research indicates that human beings:
Create a firm opinion about someone in just a few
seconds of meeting him/her
Take mere seconds to conclude whether they like the
person / have belief, confidence, faith and security about
him/her.
