SOCIO-PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING
Now a days, the new generation
students are always on social networking
websites. With the new revolution of
smart phones and high speed internet
available to all, students are completely
glued to their touch screens, exploring
the world, day and night. Facebook,
Twitter etc…are the most popular social
networking sites which open up to
different facets of social communication.
Connecting with friends, getting to know
their current statuses, their friends, their
photo updates, etc...Enchants each and
everyone, irrespective of their age.
Apart from entertainment, how can you
use these social networking sites for
enhancing your employability factors?
We will explore this question in detail
here:
As a fresher, immediately when the
students enter into the world, in search
of good jobs, in their terms, they all have
an ambition of becoming a “Good
Engineer”. If asked to define this phrase”
Good engineer”, students do not have
any specific idea. They are confused
about their career goal. Some of them are
ready to do any job. Most of the students
are not clear about the term
‘employability’. Also, many of them lack
the confidence to achieve what they
want.
During the engineering course, students
should be aware about the job industry in
their specific discipline. The available
opportunities, the job designations as a
fresher, the growth process and
development factors associated with a
particular job industry. If they are able to
gather information about all these during
their course tenure, by the time, they
enter into their final semester, they will
be able to specify, exactly what they want
in their career. The students should also
be able to self evaluate and should derive
their strengths and weaknesses. When
they figure out,
