Mimesis -'08 - Reflections...:

Attention - Students of II BA English Litt.,

MIMESIS - 08'

The Chief Guest Speaks..:

'You may be a workhorse, but still...'

Alumna Speak | T. V. Gayathri

The entire class was eagerly awaiting the arrival of their Speaker of the day, Ms T. V. Gayathri, an illustrious alumna of our College, who was scheduled to address the I Pb & Pbt/ Zoology classes, at 8.30 a.m, today, in my S-220 class with them.

Gayathri arrived quite on time for her first lecture at her alma mater and she sounded cool and confident right through the length of her lecture which was both interactive and lively.

After sharing a few thoughts about her good old days in MCC, she spoke on the need for improving one's Communication skills to be successful on the career front. 

She emphasised on the importance of mastering at least one programming language, with the help of which, one can build up on the other languages, which are just patch-ups or improvements of one over the other.

"You may be a workhorse, but still you get your worth, value and recognition in any sector, including the Software sector, only if you've got a PG degree", she quipped.

Ms Gayathri also suggested that students should make use of all the spare time that's at their command, to do some specialisation or the other. 

Making a list of 'C' type questions and preparing oneself towards this end will help a lot in getting through most of the interviews, she observed.

Outlining the various stages through which an interview is done, she said, the panel is usually split into two groups, of experienced and inexperienced lot. 

They begin by asking you the simple question, "Tell me a few things about yourself..." She also demonstrated, with a student (Vignesh) on how to make one feel at ease in the company of a person, who feigns ignorance of the other person's identity. Instead of harping on your negative qualities, just say "I need to improve on these areas.. etc."

"In IT, as is the same with any given field,

if you are able to expose your talents,

if you are able to outsmart others,

if you are able to make an impact, and

if you dare to differ,

you get all the opportunities,

AND, the WORLD IS YOURS..." she concluded.

Prof. David Albert participated.
