Get Job Ready

Millions of students graduate every year from college in India and are quickly faced with a problem-they do not have a pathway to a job or career. This is a major obstacle, not only for students, but also parents, the country's colleges and the entire society. Get Job Ready: How to Land Your Dream Job out of College is the first book of its type, providing India's college students with a career pathway framework as a foundational element to improve their job readiness. The book lays out the steps college students need to take, while in college, to transition from college to career. It includes topics such as how to gain job readiness skills and experience through volunteering, internships, class projects, extracurricular activities; creating a cover letter and résumé; handling an interview; creating a LinkedIn profile; and finding a mentor. It also includes pre-built career pathways, step-by-step guides and worksheets based on global best practices. Students who follow the steps laid out in the book will be job ready, and will be prepared to successfully enter the working world.
