This article will focus on four aspects which are must for any management graduate to become employable in any sector
The ABCD of employability for management graduates
Many of us know the facts that every year thousands of students successfully completes there
course in management and business administration, but of them very few are employable and most of
them end up doing some odd jobs for there bread and butter. This situation indicates that some thing is
missing among students which is barring them from getting the job what their qualification deserve
This article is based on my experience of more than a decade and spread across three countries,
India, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia, throughout my life as faculty for management subjects I have noticed
so many factors which hinders the growth of even an intelligent student irrespective of how colorful the
consolidate sheet is , among those many factors I have zeroed down to four major factors without which
the success of any management graduate is equal to imagining survival of aquatics without water,
Irrespective of the sub-continent the students are more or less same in there nature
The most important accept missing among the present generation of management students is
Attitude [A], across the countries there is a dearth of attitude among students may be it is towards their
betterment also, they lack seriousness even in those aspects which may engulf there life and success, it
may be because of take it easy concept which is not good at every instance. For the readers of this article
let me highlight the significance of attitude with this illustration.
If ABCD E -- is equal to 12345--- then the following calculations will open your eyes.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
LOVE = 12+15+22+5 = 54 , LUCK= 12+21+3+11 = 47
HARD WORK = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 =98,, MONEY = 13+15+14+5+25 =72
Now calculate the ATTITUDE, and find out which attribute will make you 100%.
Now let us focus on the significance of behavior for management graduate, first of all the behavior
is what you think and react towards others, it is that aspect which very close to humanity and religion,
most of the graduates I have seen in my academic life does have behavior but not positive, by looking at
there body language , way of talking, posture , hair cut and even the walking style are completely devoid
of any sing of positive behavior, let me explain this with an example what I have been saying to my
students all along, there was student who passed the MBA course with flying colors and by virtue of
prior experience he was even good at communication, based on our parameter we have selected the guy
for campus placement, but surprisingly he was not selected by any of the company for any job, we were
very curious as to what happened with the guy who was cynosure of all companies visited, due to this I
enquired with HR of the company which took his interview then the fact came out, the most intelligent
student has committed one single mistake it was “ He was sitting before the panel with legs crossed and
showing over confidence”, here comes the behaviors even though you are having every required skill for
job but if one don’t have behavior then the destiny is expected to be no destiny.
The third most significant aspect required for any management graduate in order to become employable
is Communication [C], I have seen in my academic life that even though the students had only English
as medium of instruction in all previous qualification but majority of them lack communication skills,
here in this observational study I found that the students needs to improve the oral communication
compared to written, at the time of your interview and during presentation you must show your excellent
oral communications, apart from this aspect the accent plays very crucial role in your selection and in
your job, it has been experienced that the students will mix the accent of there mother tongue or national
language to the English communication which not only gives improper meanings but also becomes the
matter of concern in companies,
The last but not the least is decision[D] making skills, I have met with so many students in every country
who cannot take decision or time bound decision, in fact there are case where due to prolong analysis
before decision some of them suffer with paralysis of intelligence, the students must have an ability to
evaluate the alternatives and take the decision under the time frame. In this aspect my elderly advise for
management graduates would be to consult their peer group beside consulting there higher ups, and
never take blindly the same decision what others take, so the bottom-line is any student who is master in
just four miraculous alphabets ABC and D can be employed any where and will be suitable for various
positions.
