Training for placements

the students in the final year are in a hurry to join the corporate world. they are ready to jump but have no idea about where and how. so much advice is poured by most unlikely people, it does not help. the student is confused, feels low, and in most cases angry and resistant to any advice. the trust-building by the trainer is paramount. instead of teaching what is to be done, it helps to reduce the instruction load. there cannot be an instant pygmalion effect and it is not needed. a finetuning exercise in training, in which the student actually goes through the placement process, helps more than anything else. simple tips to get a placement help more than elaborate training, which more often than not increases feelings of inadequacy. you can do it....... is the magic line.
