Campus to Corporate
One of the biggest challenges every student
is faced with is the transition from College
to Corporate life.
All of a sudden, there is a transition from
assignments
&
mid-semesters
to
team work and deadlines. There is a vast
difference in the way professors and
managers operate. Professors are focused
on enhancing learning quotient. They look
at improving subject matter understanding;
evaluate on the overall learning ability and
perhaps
to
an
extent
on
the
implementation. From a manager's
perspective, there is a constant pressure to
deliver and meet deadlines using the
existing and derived knowledge. So, while
one focuses on learning, the other focuses
on significant leverage. Student-life is
mostly care-free, typically students live
their timings, bunk classes, skip lessons and
still make their grades if they burnt-mid
night oil. However, in a typically company
setting, one is not expected to be on time,
forget not attending a meeting. Also to a
large extent there is decision making out of
team based working.
On the other hand, Colleges & Faculty are
invariably out of sync with the extremely
dynamic nature of the Corporate World.
With hiring needs becoming extremely
typical, hiring tends constantly fluctuating
and hiring processes more stringent; the
search for talent is more complicated that
most can comprehend.
