The document discusses employee and employer expectations in the workplace. It notes that common employee expectations include a competitive salary, reasonable workloads, opportunities for career growth, and a safe work environment. Employer expectations include dependability, working well in a team, communication skills, and producing quality work. However, the reality is there is a large gap between expectations and the skills graduates possess. Many graduates lack both technical knowledge and soft skills required for jobs. Developing employability skills through targeted training programs can help bridge this gap and make graduates more successful.

8. Expectation & Reality
12/4/20148

9. 12/4/20149
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.

Job Interview !!!

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.
