 Whichever field one chooses, the basic and essential skills are
the same. This is because every business or profession has 3
common elements in its operation.
First and foremost is people - so people skills is a prime
need.
Second, but most important aspect is transactions and related
records.
Last but not the least is field specific knowledge.
Additional strengths are through market idea, future trends, new
developments, government policy and related legal compliances.
Adding to these, problem solving and innovation are icing on the
cake. |

All these business or profession related elements are to be
handled and taken care of by a single person to start with and
when organisation grows big enough each element is split into
smaller functions with a person taking care of a particular
function. Later it may grow into separate department as and when
activities grow in size.
Observe any professional activity or business or service company
or even a production house; a doctor, an engineer, an architect
having their professional practice; a shop, a food outlet, a gym,
a parlour or even a mall or a cinema theatre or a multiplex, you
will find these 3 distinct elements. |

For a fresher, just qualifying academically for any profession or
business stream will give you only subject specific knowledge but
will not include systematic training in other two elements viz
people skills and administrative or business operational skills
nor any record keeping idea.This poses immediate problems for a fresh graduate when joining a
job, which can be overcome by regular exposure through day to day
work.
To make employment opportunity readily available for grabs or
rather for preferential selection in the interview, one must get
practical training in understanding people and effective
communication as well as art of presentation so that you can
communicate effectively to get the desired outcome. Basic training
in these topics goes a long way. Besides, you should be trained in
general smart skills of time organising, prioritizing, planning,
team work, leadership and training skills to grow higher. You
should also sharpen your personal qualities. |

To bridge the gap of performance techniques, simulated workshops
in performance and related essential skills will not only
eliminate scope of errors during your first experience in a job,
but also accelerate your growth and promotion. Ideally companies
should organise such basic essential skills workshops. Since
persons keen on professional practice as well as still to be
employed youngsters can be trained in such skills ins advance.
Even students can benefit from such advance training and get
opportunity to work in spare time.

individuals can communicate to "Advisory Service" by sending an
