One Stop Shop for Test Information
Came across a good website today that provides a comprehensive list of tests that are happening all over India for various purposes. The information covers both academic tests and recruitment tests. What makes such a feature handy is that it makes planning for exams that much easier by giving us all the dates and timings. We often have to look at different places for information on recruitment exams and results which creates confusion and consumes time. The database contains all the necessary information such as application deadlines, exam details, notifications and results. Check it out.
Move Up With Forign Languages
In blog posts earlier that focused on the advantages of learning foreign languages, I talked about the upper hand that you get while looking for a job. A recently published article in The Hindu addresses the same and talks about a few opportunities that are available to students who pick up a foreign language in addition to their courses. As globalization spreads, being multilingual definitely gets you in touch with a wider audience and as a result, access to better opportunities.
According to the article, French still remains a favourite but Chinese and German are picking up fast. A student who is equipped with important soft skills and a foreign language to go with them, can command a starting salary as high as 30 grand. Some of the best places to pick up foreign languages in Hyderabad are EFLU, Ramakrishna Math and others. Click here to take a look at the article. I will be posting specific job openings in this blog soon.
