Job Aspirants Require More than Academic Degree for Employment

An outstanding academic qualification from a decent engineering college is no longer your ticket to a dream job at a reputed firm. The trend is similar in the coveted firms of foreign nationals as well as India. 

The reason entails a stiff competition forthwith the burgeoning number of engineering graduates venturing the job market every year. Amidst the scenario, employers are pickier than ever and preferring candidates adorned with technical as well as non technical skill sets. They are focusing more on soft skills encompassing English communication and inter personal disciplines.

The dean of engineering at the University of Bristol, Nishan Canagarajah, remarks,” I tell all our students that companies want to employ people with a real breadth of attributes, and so I work hard with my colleagues to give our students opportunities to develop different skills." Furthermore, knowledge about the company and prospective posts are the new requisites of the hiring industry. Among others, team spirit and entrepreneurship skills are also being sought after by job aspirants for success oriented action.
