What colleges, government institutions and the students think about the campus placement? Well, the answer may differ from person to person but one thing is logically correct that the process of the placement in nearly all the institutions and colleges has become more sophisticated, complex and difficult.

When you compare the same process of campus placements, you would have found the easy one when the recruiting company came to the college campus, go though the resume of the candidate, discuss about the viable package, offer the appointment letters and they walk off their campus area. It was just brilliant! And, what has it become now? The process has completely changed where the recruiters even want to know the candidate’s opinion about global warming and the issue of terrorism. Yes, this is called the group discussion and such elimination rounds have become part and parcel of the recruitment process today.

Tackling such campus placements is very easy if you know certain points of consideration –

• Don’t get stuck with the package –

The candidates must need to learn how to respond negatively in context of the package. It should be noted here that the recruiting companies’ employees that can serve their companies for a long term and may not offer any tensions and headaches in the coming future. No doubt, the students want to chase behind the increase in salary packages but they forget to mention their own goals in the industry. You should be bold enough to explain about your goals in PI or GD.

• Show a learning intuition and be tactful –

The time demands now a tactful appearance before the recruiters in mentioning your goals, limitations and other things. It should be noted here that companies are interviewing thousands of students daily and you are not alone in the crowd. It is better to know their tactics and when they ask about your limitations, answer it cleverly. The only option you have in this case is to have healthy and formal conversation with the recruiters. You must show them you are always prepared to learn new things in no time.

• Get familiar with the latest technology –

In a recent report, a multinational company in the name of MU Sigma interviewed a candidate through Skype, which was certainly a different notion for the candidate. Well, if you have learned all the conventional trends of interviews with butt0oned shirts and straight backbone; you need to rethink your preparation strategy. While you try to tackle the campus placement, you will certainly have to forget all the traditional methods of recruitment.

• Get yourself close to the seniors –

This becomes important for you as a fresh graduate because the companies are thinking the other way round. They prefer now to send the fresh employees as the brand ambassadors to your campus rather than sending an expert team of HRs. yes, the new process of recruitment will give the companies a new weapon to look deep into the candidate’s portfolios. They could be also capable of finding the incompetent candidates or students with fake resumes quite easily. Recruiters like Wipro, MphasiS, Cognizant and other MNCs are adopting this method of campus placement.
