At the career building stage of life, if a personremains unemployed for a long period, frustration starts griping the mind, which is biggest enemy of a persons creativity and acts like rust. Job seekers refuse to give 40 minutes for career planning and prefer to sufer and struggle for 40 years in their working lives.

PPYP stages (in fgure 1) are not for reading but for action.PP/P ST+.E 0. IDENTI,/ +ND E1+-U+TE E*P-O/+BI-IT/ S2I--S : Your domain knowledge and functional skills (like English, IT, Interpersonal) decide whether you have to run after a job, or a job will come to you. Why an HR shouldhire you? Your employable skills are more important than your degrees. Degree is just agate pass it opens the door for you. But if you don't have career competencies you'll not get a job. Being a fresher is not bad but not having knowledge is too bad and shameful. It you are not confdent that you possess right job skills then instead of changing your job feld or doing any job, consider the possibility of accepting temporary or part-time work, or doing project work on a contract basis for some time to gain real job experienceand enhance your career competencies. We have seen thousands of MBAs who cannot communicate efectively for 2 minutes and cannot write 5 lines of correct sentences either in Hindi or English. Above all their attitude is I have done MBA; sooner or later I will get a job. Well, if someone has to do a tele-caller job in a placement agency or selling insurance policies after doing MBA, then why not to do the same job after passing 12th. Unskilled jobs are not for Masters degree holders, it is for semi-literates orundergrads. Remember, no one gives job to a paper bearing the degree it is given to a right person holding the degree. Degree is a label on the box, but if the box is empty who will pay for it? If you have the real knowledge and skills, employers are ready to bid for you and can pay you any amount you ask. Salary is not a problem for a deserving candidate. If you don't have skills then you have to beg for a job and beggars can't be choosersPP/P ST+.E 2.

Why? Subject line of your email is the magic wand. Out of hundreds of resumes, which the recruiters and HR departments receive, they glance it for 8-10 seconds and move ahead. In this fraction of time, if your resume caught the attention then only you receive an interview mail otherwise you are one among the crowd. This is a very crucial factor and most of the applicants are simplyignorant about preparing a resume and covering email/letter (an integral part of your resume). If you don't know the techniques to present yourself, then you are bound to face rejection in spite of having better qualifcation. The objective part of the resume should avoid words like I want to excel in my career rather write I want to turn your vision into a reality. Give prominence to what you have to ofer - real examples of the skills you possess (1-10 scale) and assignments where you have used them. Sending resume with personalized mail body (cover letter) keeps you stand apart from the crowd and are given preference over other candidates.Rest%"5! 8ou%self: No fake experience or degree - it is a crime and one day you'll be caught.

This reduces your chance of success. To overcome this barrier, you should consider or deliver your personalized resume to recruiters of the MNCs and reputed organizations, you wish to work. When your resume reaches directly in the hands of HR managers, you get immediate attention and interview ofers. Wrong way of networking: People generally forward their resume with a request - Please fnd a job, you think which is suitable for me ".
