COVID 19 is undoubtedly the biggest health crisis most of us have experienced in our lives. Industries are reeling under its impact. In these uncertain times Harshita Kumar of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida<\/a> bagged a placement with HCL. She tells us how her B School helped her work towards a foolproof career, which has begun with a strong start in this gloomy time.<\/p>\n The student of PGDM Batch 2018-20<\/a>, who chose Marketing<\/a> and Banking as her specializations will step into the role of Project Manager with the industry powerhouse. In a recent report, HCL stated that 76% of its India-based employees and 92% of employees in other geographies are enabled to work from home. It\u2019s the most likely scenario for Harshita too. \u201cYes, the lockdown will cause my work to be remote in nature. But since it is mostly digital work, I don\u2019t think working from home will be a problem,\u201d she says with adaptability akin to a pro.<\/p>\n Harshita looks forward to working with the massive organization, which has offered her a launchpad to learn and grow. But landing a job with HCL is no mean feat in itself. How did she do it? \u201cThe first round of screening involved a general discussion where they asked HR-related questions and judged us on confidence and communication skills. The technical round was a personal interview with questions about the role, before the final HR interview,\u201d she sheds light on the selection process.<\/p>\n Harshita admits that she was thrilled to know that she was picked by the company, in what she calls her dream job. It\u2019s something she had set her eyes on from the day she walked onto Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida<\/em> which is one of the\u00a0Best MBA Colleges in Noida<\/a>\u00a0and Delhi NCR. She believes the transformation she has gone through since is responsible for her placement<\/a>. \u201cI think I have evolved so much both, personally and professionally. I have built my mental stamina and can face any difficulties with courage. So I think I will be able to function in my professional role with minimal mentorship because of the pandemic,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
