Work Hard, Play Harder

Is there a sport or a hobby that has been interesting you for long but you have been suppressing it due to the tight study schedule? Then, this is a chance for you to become an expert by mastering what already interests you. Enrol yourself in a class that is branded with a big name or offers you a valid certificate good enough to take it up as a profession. May be a certificate in music from Trinity or dance from Flyerz.

Involving in such classes would not only channelise your time usefully, but also give you a sense of accomplishment in your life as you are doing what you love, like a pro! You just need to take a bigger leap into your small desire, to capture big things in life. And the perk? It would be a value addition to your resume as well!

Get Real and Practical

An in plant training or an internship program will give you a world of insight into what you are aspiring for. This internship will also be considered more like a work experience when you start applying for jobs. If you are a student, you will have the advantage of knowing the practical part and understanding your subject easily. This experience will never get wasted for a lifetime even if your degree does!

Make Online On Line

As you get ample time to surf through the internet, make use of the time to research about various courses and the colleges that are best. This is not going to make you 'officially' work or get you slogging on a subject, but make you more resourceful with the knowledge on various career options.

Many institutions have their social media pages that are interactive too. Go through those pages and shoot your questions. Get your doubts cleared and choose your options wisely.

Get off the couch

This is a fun activity that can actually mean big to you in the long run. Visit as many places as you can. Industrial visits and campus visits may help you better in knowing in depth about a particular field or a college. On a lighter side, just visit factories and new places that you have not seen before to know what are the openings for job that you have in the current market or what is the coolest profession that interests you a lot.

Go Networking

If something interests you for a career option, dont stop dreaming about it. Try to contact people who are in the field and get their insights too. Ask them what are the exams they took up and how they prepared to get to the position that they have successfully reached. You might be amazed at the kind of help you will later get from these contacts. Your chances of recruitment can get better with their recommendation.
