Since my school life, I have focused only on academics & leaving soft skills aside. When I joined Dyal Singh College, I felt a little bit complex since everyone around me was having superior communication skills. Initially, I felt low but then I decided to overcome this & become better. I immediately registered for every society/club in college and started giving interviews. I got rejected in most until I finally landed at converting The Placement Cell. The real fight started after that. I made sure to continuously improve & never stop learning. I started taking calls with Hrs & CXO in various companies & with time, learned the art of negotiating & convinced a few great companies to come to the campus. Being a member of Placement cell not only provides you exposure to various opportunities but also help you learn to manage. I had to do manage various things at a time, from calling to organizing, etc. This helped me in planning things well in advance & become better at managing. There was only one last thing to be done, removing my fear of public speaking. To overcome that, we, as a society, started taking GD/Pi seminars for all the students in the college, whether they wanted to sit in placements or not. This gave me many opportunities to speak in front of people & overcome my fear of public speaking. That’s how I overcame one of the biggest challenges & improved myself.
