Read the following passage carefully:
Companies look for persons who believe in experimental
learning rather than books worms, say experts. They look for candidates who
have the ability to perform multi tasks. What is multi-tasking? Today, be an
engineer graduate or a MBA graduate, within two to three years they are
expected to move to a supervisory level and would have a team under them. At
the same time they are also expected to report to more than one superior and
handle more than one project at the same time. Now to accomplish that task one
has to have the multi-tasking skills. It is nothing but the ability to manage
shared resources. They have to shift and move from one task to another at the
same time and accomplish the tasks within the set deadlines without
compromising on quality. To achieve that, one should be blessed with the multi
tasking ability. It is nothing but the ability to perform various jobs at the
same time.
Taking the cue from
what the experts say, it can be understood that the companies look for some
additional skills apart from the academic skills. The skills can be broadly
identified as training skills, presentation skills, knowledge sharing skills,
communication skills and team building skills.
A resume‟

one has interest in writing blogs, was an active participant in all the
technical symposiums or festivals that were held in the college, organized
events, presented papers in technical festivals, have done more number of
projects apart from the ones prescribe in the curriculum, have voluntarily
visited more number of industries to understand the work culture and have
actively participated in team sports and team events, then he or she is
considered to develop multi-tasking ability.
Most of the companies look for people who have a consistent
good record in academics, good hold over English writing and speaking skills,
analytical skills, communicative skills, general awareness and team skills. The
