5 Things I learned from Placement Cell.......!!!!!!

First of all, it is my privilege (and not humility) to thank whole placement cell team for providing a lot of students like me an opportunity to make LIFE@IMS more resourceful one. Apart from that, all of you deserve a big applaud for the success this year, least to say, numbers speak louder than my words…….

A team led by a vibrant, soft-spoken and cool-headed Avnish Vyas Sir, whole team worked like a chained lot. Be it Chandan Arora who helped me by arranging mock interviews (which allowed me to become a final product) or a straight-forward Jasreen Wilkhoo who kept me updated with every details of S&P process or a soft-spoken Ankit Shrivastava who worked for common good or a bold, affirmative Palak Arya who eased the butterflies at the time of Deloitte’s final round or a short-heighted but well-behaved Prashant Kaushik, every member of the team deserves a big THANK YOU…..!!!!!!!!

Let’s come to a broader picture now………Due to my presence in most of the campus process (where finance students were involved), it allowed me to know their work and modus operandi from which I sought few lessons. I am sharing those with you……….

TEAM WORK:  When a lot of people are involved in anything, there can be two things, either they can mess up everything or they can make up everything possible and this team has the latter ability. A team or more precisely a group of people when come together need coherent approach to carry out any activity. The placement cell team has the one. Team work is also about working for a common goal leaving behind your personal interest and they do this every time for a common good. Their hard work produces the best results and this is a quality to learn.

COMMUNICATION & COORDINATION: Since their every word matters, I have hardly seen any wrong information being sent out or any communication gap among the members which, if exist, can lead to a bigger problem. They co-ordinate the activities properly with every individual busy in his/her own assigned responsibility and work hard to keep the recruiters happy so that they can churn out more and more students.

The whole team......and every one of them deserves a cheer......!!!!!!!

PROPER UTILISATION OF SKILLS: The team is properly chosen after new recruits are being tested at different campus processes and hence everybody comes with a specific skill set. The skill set they possess are then channelized according to the areas the whole team is expected to work in. For e.g. If somebody is good at writing mails, he/she would be assigned that particular task. That is a perfect example of proper utilization of skills.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY: To ensure things at right place and at right time, the authorities are delegated to each individual of the team. For a particular process, everything is being decided in advance, as to who will accompany the delegates, who will manage the students and who will look after the whole behind the scenes work. By proper delegation, a flow is being ensured which makes the whole process a flawless one.

SELFLESSNESS:  In this self-centered world where it is very easy to do something for your own but proportionately tough to do the same for others, these people do their business selflessly. They are not professionals’, they are somebody from us and they also have a job aspiration but they leave behind those aspirations when they are involved in the process. They might feel frustrated of not getting a job but it never expose out in their work which I think is one of the best professional pursuits to have.

Well, Thank you very much from whole IMS student family for giving us one of the most cherished moment of our life………..Kund Snan……..!!!!!!!!
