Pratyaqsha Pathak

Pratyaqsha Pathak, Ernst & Young. When i met Pratyaqsha was the first time she was really not confident of cracking any interviews. She did not have good grades in academic and strongly believed that she did not have what it takes to get a job. I asked her why her grades were low, she said because she did not study. Then, “what did you do if you were not studying” I asked. She said i like travelling and meeting new people and that’s what i do mostly. Then I asked, “ so did you learn anything which you were travelling and meeting people?”. She said YES. I finally said, “that all it takes”. Any company that hires you will train you on what they want you to do. You will undergo a training program where you will learn everything. So there key focus is if you have the ability to learn or not. And if you have learnt anything in life that means you have that ability. It doesn’t necessarily have to be academics every time. Tell then whatever you have learnt and what value addition have you had based on that. She gave her interview confidently and got the job.
