This sentiment has been unanimously echoed by every alumni who has now established their flourishing career abroad.
For freshers in India, the focus is mainly on academics; make sure you are at the top of your class to secure a top-class placement. However, the situation is flipped when this topper reaches overseas. For students abroad, although academics is important, an essential factor that determines internships and job placements is networking! It is about stepping out of your comfort bubble and establishing connections.
Right from connecting with your fellow classmates and professors to access opportunities on campus, to establishing contacts during career fairs to build your professional network, your proactiveness defines the number and quality of prospects that come your way.
A platform that has revolutionized professional networking is LinkedIn! Updating your LinkedIn profile and connecting with professionals via the platform has become one of the most popular ways to expand your network.
