Let your resume speak for yourself
A resume comes across the recruiter or employer way before you. It single-handedly opens the door to a world of opportunities. Making yourself visible in the crowd of applicants is a craft of intelligence. Your resume should portray the most refined version of yourself in a strictly competent world. Reviewing your resume is advantageous since the reviewer evaluates from an employer’s perspective.
The Directorate of Alumni Affairs has planned to start Live Mentoring Programs by SRM-AP Alumni from different domains. The first mentoring session, Resume review, is scheduled to be organised this Saturday through zoom. Students can share their updated resumes with the mentors during the session to get practical input from them.

The key to a successful job interview
Facing an interview is a nightmare for many. There may be multiple factors lowering your level of confidence. Your depth of knowledge, ability to communicate, body language, dressing style, and an endless list of reasons could affect you in being yourself during an interview. While most of us are highly qualified academically, many are still groping in the dark to present ourselves as professionally qualified. And the sad fact is that, it is your professional persona that wins you a better chance of clearing the interview than your academic qualifications.
The Directorate of Alumni Affairs has scheduled a webinar on ‘How to succeed in an Interview’ with our notable alumni, Aayusi Biswas and Tuhin Sarkar from the Class of 2021, Computer Science and Engineering. Aayusi currently holds the position of Associate QA Software Engineer at Sabre Travel Technologies while Tuhin works as a Principal Analyst at AB InBev.
Date: June 18, 2022
Time: 5.00 pm to 6.00 pm IST
The session aims to groom students to give out their best in any interview. Effective training and practice sessions can bridge the gap in one’s academic expertise and career advancement. The more confident you are in being yourself, the better your possibility of winning your dream job.
Register for the session and walk in confidently for all the interviews ahead!

Mentothon: right guidance at the right time
Reinforcing the sense of resilience is an essential aspect of academic life. Students require a generous support system during the challenging edges of academia.

The bits of advice generated through mentoring could have alternate perspectives that will help develop perseverance for a brighter tomorrow.
The Directorate of Alumni Affairs is planning to start a career center Mentothon: Virtual Alumni- Student Mentoring Programmes, under the coordination of SRM AP Alumni from different domains.
