CAREER TALK Carrer Talk – A seminar held at Kolkata Chowringhee centre on the 23rd of July 2009 was attended by over 100 enthusiastic candidates keen to know about the various career options that were open today. Senior Guest Speakers from the industries such as Mr Ayan Biswas-(sales Head) ICICI BANK and Mr Kaushik Mondal-HR HEAD (SHOPPERS STOP), Prof. Shaw (Senior Member Bhawanipore College), were there to give the students an insight of the corporate world. Career Talk focused on topics like Current Job Scenario, Need of Trained Manpower; Opportunities in Financial Sector ; Opportunities in Sales and Marketing. The session was interactive and the candidates were full of questions for the guest speakers who very patiently addressed to all the queries. What has been the impact of the recession in the job market, what are the career opportunities in the industry today, what was the growth chart in a fresher’s chart, what does the corporate world expect from a fresher in his/her first job, what are the qualities that the corporate looks for during an interview – these were some of the few questions that the candidates were keen to know. But all good things must finally come to an end. Hence, the workshop too ended but with a special request by the candidates to have similar workshops for them in the future which helped them interact directly with the seniors from various industries – an opportunity which they would not like to miss. On that note of promise by the organizers, the seminar was brought to an end.
