The aim of every student after completing education is to secure a good job. They also want to make good & steady progress in professional & personal life. But; they are neither able to secure a good job nor able to achieve the success they aspired for. Also; many professional complain that though they work very hard but they do not get the success they deserve but their undeserving colleagues get better increments. The reason for this disturbing phenomenon is that we are not aware of what is needed to get jobs. Good marks equal good job is a myth. If I work hard I will get good increments & a promotion is another myth. Keeping this in mind The English Academy has started a project:Smart Students Program-Project Campus to Corporate This project aims to appraise the students entering the job market what qualities & skills employers actively look for in a potential employee at time of interview. This project also presents to the working professionals the qualities & skills employers look for when deciding on promotions & increments.

4. A recent article in ‘The Times of India’
raises a very important question:
Is academic excellence a true measure
of one's success in life?
It further goes on to say:
High Marks May
Not Guarantee Success!!!!!!!
It is so because………… (please read on)

5. It is because we need many other qualities
besides high academic performance to be
successful. Qualities like a person’s total
personality, communication skills, positive
attitude, time management & general
outlook towards life in fact play more
important role.
However, the teaching process in our schools
& colleges focuses on preparing students for
scoring high marks.
Hence, most of the students when they
enter corporate world lack vital employ
ability skills.

7. “To get a corporate job
with a multinational
company you need to
communicate effectively,
write reports & put
together presentations.
Tragically, majority of
candidates lack fluency
& polish. They are poor
in grammar, including
even those who have
studied in English
medium Schools.
They are unable to
construct grammatically
correct sentences.
They also grapple
with pace, tone &
pronunciation.”
HR Head
of an IT Industry
“Today’s youth have
a pathetic command
over the English
Language & very
weak delivery system.
Hence; their
communication is
wasted.
In fact, we reject 90%
of those who apply for
voice-based positions
due to
poor
communication
skills.
HR Head
of a Factory
In addition to poor
grammar
today’s youth have
grave problems with
listening,
comprehending,
assimilating &
responding.
We face problems. Our
employees need to
express themselves
well.
We don’t provide
language training.
We expect them to have
strong communication
skills to start with.

that nobody
who works for
them can write
a simple
