Goducate’s Global Lifeskills Centre (GLC) in Hyderabad helps to prepare university students for the global world , to enhance their prospects of employment. It’s a place where students can learn about different cultures and meet people from different countries, and have fun while doing so.
Last week some of the students were in the midst of applying for graduate jobs and were about to face a series of interviews. Hence they asked for practical tips on attending an interview. We discussed with them the interview process. For some jobs competition can be great, and interviewees may have to go through 7- 8 rounds, with group discussions, public speaking, and debates to identify the brighter , more confident ones who speak well. Some are then are short -listed to be interviewed on the technical aspects of the job. At the end of the session students felt more confident about going for an interview.
Students also learned a new board game called Pictionary. They worked in groups, practising their drawing and communication skills, improving their English and learning new words, enjoying some competition, and having lots of fun. The night ended off with their trying blueberry and raspberry muffins and chocolate-chip cookies, a first for most of them.
