Its a good start & appreciate KCGC. Please tap the kayalite (job seekers) interests or try to identify their lacking area inorder to arrange for the appropriate trainings/session which really helps them.

As far as I/v concerned, there are no fixed answers for non technical questions. I've seen many candidates just vomit the standard answers which they get it from net or someone. They need to tweak the answer which suits to their profile, job applied and situation. I noticed some difference when we Indians interviews the candidate (say fellow indian). We would like to screw them up & create anxiousness to them instead of asking some Q's to find out their knowl/exp. It is not the case, if the interviewer is an American or other nationalites.

Many of our young graduated kayalites are simply struck in kayal after their degree since they dont know from where to start their job search or where to stay in cities & some of them are due to financial situations to meet up living expenses in Chennai/BLR. First of all, let us bring them out of the nest. That itself, is a big thing that we do to our next generation.

The potential probs which I've observed is lack of confidence, communication skills & finding difficulty or not guided in choosing the right career/Job. I can share some incidents.

One kayalite with M.Sc (CS) degree who is supposed to be in IT job got ended up into purchasing dept in some manuf. industry. When I asked the reason he told me that, he was less confident about pursuing IT job due to competitions/communications & never got a direction/guidance in the start up.

When I was working in Bangalore, I used to go to Primrose road where some 6 to 10 kayalites (job seekers) were staying. One guy initiated to have some Group discussion (GD) within themselves as a practice for interviews. Some of them walked out of the room or didnt shown up since they were shy and also less confident abt their commn. skills. Over the period of time, they decided themselves they are not fit for IT job and flew to Middle east.

Because of these issues, I personally think some of our kayalites lose their track & get into some job even though it is irrelevant/unsuitable. I would suggest to identify the college pass-outs first and guide them on jobs which they can pursue based on their degree/skills/interests etc. Then help them on improving communication skills which helps to tackle the I/v's & GD's & followed by something on aptitude as well. Finally, all about bringing the suceeded/employeed candidates to speak infront of the next batch to share their exp & tips.

I would never recommend organizing such kind of events in kayal since kayal is not the home for job seekers. They need to get out of it to find their bread & butter. Also feeding the students with these kind of info might be too early as well.
