Widening The Range Of Job Opportunities

Getting a Postgraduate Diploma in Management is statistically proven to pay off in the long run, but it's also true that a PGDM (or an MBA) isn’t a magic career pill. It takes more than just academic excellence to receive lucrative opportunities. In this post, the faculty of International Management Institute, the top PGDM institute in Kolkata, share a few pieces of advice to broaden the range of job offers. Let's check them out.


Improve your internship interactions

Many top-tier firms recruit first-year PGDM students, then source their full-time hires from that pool of interns. Knowing this, we do whatever it takes to secure a quality internship at a quality firm within your first year. Doing so significantly improves your range of employment after graduation. These internships last six to 10 weeks and act as an extended interview for future employment after graduation. You should reach out to second-year PGDM students to hear their experience. Ask for presentation and interview tips to succeed in your interactions with recruiters.

Build an extensive professional network

After getting an internship and balancing it with your study routine, your top priority must be building your network. Be sure to remove any shyness from your system and create an interesting LinkedIn profile; otherwise, your initiative will be wasted. If possible, attend a few after-hours social events. Build real camaraderie with self-motivated people as they are likely to inspire you. Consider participating in extracurricular activities and joining clubs and associations. The best PGDM institutes in India host a range of events including seminars, competitions & industrial visits, to provide industry exposure and polish the soft skills of students. Be serious and strategic about the people you spend your time with. The relationships you build in B-School will support you professionally over the years to come.

Convert your resume to an 'Executive' format

Your PGDM resume is supposed to present you as someone ready for managerial to executive level roles and responsibilities, so make sure your resume reflects that. Befriend PGDM program alumni and go to your teachers. Ask them to take a look at your resume formats for feedback. Going forward, your resume will become a crucial aspect of your portfolio, acting as a calling card more than ever. Set a reminder in your phone every six months to update your CV.

Get in touch executive recruiters

Sure, nowadays, colleges are in touch with leading employers from various industries to provide their students with top-notch placements every year. But that doesn't mean you should stop exploring exciting opportunities. Besides the in-house company recruiters who visit the college campus, executive recruiters (ERs) will also make the rounds. Visit your Placement Cell and network with second-year PGDM students to get introduced to as many of these ERs as possible. Take their calls. Always help them. Ask for and offer referrals to your friend network if possible. They will return the favour with quality interviews.
