My heart goes out to Founders/Entrepreneurs who built the team(s) from the scratch,

It's fucking hard, building an offline team and getting a lifetime experience of learnings.

(A Thread) ⬇️

It's an offline heavy project based out of a Tier-II City.

The team will be responsible for increasing brand outreach and User Acquisitions on No-Sales Model.

Hiring is one of the biggest difficulties, Finding the right candidates with the correct skillsets isn’t easy.

Here I feel pedigree plays an important role,

Traditional Folks (BA/B.Sc/B.Com) doesn’t have any/very little knowledge of basic industry skills e.g. -

E-Mail
Communication
Office Suits

A couple of them didn’t show up for an interview, they all start facing a medical problems.

I don’t understand whom to charge?

••Parents?
Education System?
Universities?
Candidates?

Like you have got a hell of resources available for free today, what’s the exact problem in upscaling yourself? What's the challenge in learning new skills?

It is important for students these days to understand and realize the structural gaps in the system and also their personal inefficiencies.

Students need to understand the importance of industry assessments and appropriate guidance to move on the right career path.

Most of them don’t even have a clear plan for what exactly they wish to do in their life?

They’re Graduates, Post-Graduates, Diploma and preparing for Gov Exmans or Applying to random opportunities w/o having the right skill-sets.

All the want is a 'Job'

In case if you hire someone who’s good intent to learn, retention becomes the challenge.

Are our Establishments practicing about -

• 'Integrity'
• 'Creativity'
• 'Positivity'
• 'Motivation'
• 'Professionalism'

I don’t fucking care when did Gaznavi attacked India or when did Motabhai die.

If you’re applying for say Marketing Role, I need you to know the basics of Marketing, Promotions, etc.

Believe me or not, Our curriculum has no clear statement of the importance of real skills,

A student aware of his/her strengths and areas of improvement can work in the right direction to enhance their employability quotient.

After students identify their weaknesses and deficiencies, they can turn to various low-cost, paid, or free resources (such as Coursera, MIT Edx, IIT course content, Khan Academy, etc.) that can help them become employable!

Vocational courses can definitely aid in bridging the employability gap. Students can avail the right courses to eliminate the same.

Skill-based programs also help enhance niche skills required in corporates that are typically looking for specific skills.

When I hire someone - The biggest things I always look for are consistency and passion, more-so than experience or academics.

It is very critical to have motivated people moving in the same direction at the beginning.
