Hello Doubtly Community ,
Today, I had the privilege of attending an engaging and highly informative session titled “Bridging the Skill Gap – Towards Transition,” organized by our Head of Department, Dr Sanjay Patil, specifically for BE students of the AI-DS Department. 📚👨🎓
The session was graced by Mr. Praveen Sharma, who is the Lead of Cloud and Cyber Security at Capgemini. With over 14 years of experience in the industry, Mr. Sharma shared his invaluable insights on how we, as students, can smoothly transition from the academic environment to the professional world. 🧑💼💼
Here are some of the key takeaways from the session that I found particularly beneficial:
1. Building Skills
The tech industry is constantly evolving, so it’s crucial to keep learning and enhancing your skills. Staying updated with the latest advancements will give you a competitive edge in the job market. 🚀📈
2. Certifications
Certifications are a great way to validate your expertise and make your resume stand out. Industry-recognized certificates not only boost your credibility but also improve your job prospects. 🏅📜
3. Customizing Your Resume
One size does not fit all when it comes to resumes. Tailor your resume to highlight the skills and experiences that are most relevant to each job you apply for. This targeted approach can significantly improve your chances of landing an interview. 📝🔍
4. English & Communication
Effective communication is key to working well with others and advancing in your career. Strong English language skills and clear communication can make a big difference in your professional interactions. 🗣️🌐
5. Applying for Jobs
Don’t hesitate to apply for different job openings. Each application and interview is an opportunity to gain experience and understand what employers are looking for. Use these experiences to refine your approach and improve your chances of success. 📄💬
The session was a fantastic opportunity to gain practical advice on bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world skills. I’m grateful to Mr. Sharma for sharing his expertise and to HOD Dr Sanjay Patil for organizing such a valuable event. 🙌👏
I hope these insights are as helpful to you as they were to me. Feel free to share your thoughts or any additional tips you might have on this topic!
