This document compares students and employees and provides tips for students transitioning to employment. It notes that students are learning, while employees work for an organization in exchange for compensation. Key differences are that students have structured learning environments and personal support, while employees face unexpected changes, structured schedules, and organizational challenges. The document recommends that students gain knowledge, awareness of current events, learn networking, understand degrees don't guarantee jobs, evaluate employers, consider careers early, prepare for interviews, and gain work experience through internships to successfully transition to employment.

2. Student
• In its widest use, student is used for anyone
who is learning, including mid-career adults
who are taking vocational education or
returning to university.

3. Employee
• An Employee is a person who is hired to
provide services to a company on a regular
basis in exchange for compensation and who
does not provide these services as part of an
independent business.

4. what steps to take to prepare for the transition from student to
an employee
• 1. Knowledge- The most important thing is what we have learnt
since we started our education because if not all but many parts of
our knowledge will be put to use and applied in our daily life as an
employee.
• 2. awareness- A student during its under grad and post grad years
should start taking interest in the surrounding environment and
keep track of all relevant happenings. Industry, politics , World news
Socio economic activities etc
• 3. Teach students how to network. Students often come out of
college having heard that they should network, but not
understanding what that means or how to do it. As a result, some
new grads simply don't network at all, and others inadvertently use
strategies that turn off their contacts. Using networking well betters
our chances of job security.

5. Cont.
• 4. Help students understand that a degree alone won't get them a job. Too many
students graduate with the belief that their degree will lead straight to a job—
setting the stage for a painful wake-up call when they realize that in most fields, a
degree is simply a minimum qualification, not an instant pass to easy employment.
Biggest Example NDIM
• 5. Teach students how to evaluate an employer. New grads often take the first job
they can find, without asking any of their own questions to evaluate the work
they'll be doing, the workplace culture, or the employer's financial stability.
Colleges could help significantly by teaching students how to figure out if a
potential employer or potential job is likely to be a good fit or not. And if colleges
dont, then students should take the initiative to research themselves because in
the end its their career.
• 6. Start talking about careers long before graduation. Many students pick a major
without fully understanding what jobs it will (and won't) qualify them for once
they graduate, and then they're frustrated to learn that the major doesn't come
with a clear career path or one that they're interested in following.

6. Cont.
• 7. Preparing for the interview process works. Too many
new grads have no idea what to expect from a hiring
process or what each stage means. As a result,
they're prone to think a job is in the bag when it's not, to
mishandle something crucial like supplying references, or to
make other mistakes related to inexperience.
• 8. Internship and experience. Whether it's a job or an
internship, students who come out of school with work
experience on their resumes are at a significant advantage
to students who only have classes and extracurricular
activities to highlight. Students shouldn't learn this once
they graduate, at which point it's too late to go back and
change it. Schools should be making them aware of this
from the start.
