The pause on hiring hit the Jaipur\u2019s graduates who have been biding their time to a stable job, even agreeing for a lesser pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PinkCity Post spoke to several career guides to understand how long this ordeal may last, its reasons, and what graduates must do in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinkcitypost.com\/5-top-skills-to-master-to-land-a-job-in-jaipur-during-covid-19-pendamic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top 5 skills to master to land a job in Jaipur during COVID-19 pandemic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jaipur students don\u2019t have requisite skills<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The job losses, and job scarcity is going to be an especially difficult terrain for students of Jaipur to traverse in coming days, \u201c\u201dUnlike other cities like Mumbai, Delhi and even Lucknow, colleges don\u2019t insist on internships which deliver hands-on training. Engineering, pharmacy and finance students go on to complete their training without any industry training. This will not help anymore,\u201d said Sandeep Trivedi, a career advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He advised that people looking for a job should immediately look for apprenticeship, paid internships or diploma courses that could give them a much needed edge in employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinkcitypost.com\/5-ways-jaipur-youths-are-managing-personal-finance-during-covid-19-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 ways Jaipur youths are managing personal finance during COVID-19 pandemic<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lack of multidisciplinary approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rahul (name changed) was one of the few lucky ones who landed a job with a Noida based start-up in May last year. He can write codes, speak to clients and perform other tasks which include branding and sales pitch. \u201cCompanies want people who are not stuck to conventional norms of doing their job. People who want to get hired should make it very clear in their interviews that they will not shy away from performing other tasks,\u201d he said.&nbsp; Many career advisors agreed that students in Jaipur are not taught anything beyond their syllabus, due to which they lack other skills which are now most in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201c\u201dWhat if\u201d\u201d approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The world of modern start-ups is based on principles of disruption and rapid change, which requires rethinking of conventional beliefs. Unlike Jaipur, every decent management, commerce, and engineering college organises an important seminar and conferences to keep students abreast of latest innovations and how they were brought about. \u201cUnless you are willing to create something new and innovate, the modern workplace will forever keep you chained to run-of-the-mill jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lack of interpersonal skills<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every organisation functions on the effectiveness of communication. Ability to exude confidence and communicate lucidly to express one\u2019s ideas is a foundation of the modern corporate world. Akshay&nbsp; Agarwal, who works as a senior executive at a firm in New Delhi,said that when he had graduated from a college in Jaipur, he joined an English speaking course to hone his communication skills. \u201cI lacked confidence, many companies sensed that during the interviews, but I decided to overcome it by improving my skills,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lifelong learning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a reason why online courses are all in rage, from data analysts to certifications in Mandarin. Employees are expected to learn new skills to add into their arsenal of problem solving, and spot new trends as soon as they appear on the horizon. Many companies have carefully incentivised self-learning in a much better manner. \u201cThere are several people I know of who joined a company as an engineer and climbed up to the positing of executives after completing their MBA courses. Companies know how to spot zeal and drive. If you are someone who thinks that college was the end of learning, it would be impossible for you to survive,\u201d Agarwal said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jaipur: The prolonged freeze on recruitments due to the COVID-19 situation continues to persist even in 2021, but it&#8217;s easing up to some extent.
