The First Step

It all started during the month of September,2005 when we got the opportunity to do a placement training programme at S.J.C Institute of Technology, Bangalore.
With self belief coupled with anxiety we started. Though all of us were well prepared, there were a few butterflies in the stomach which kept us aware and on our toes. It was the day of reckoning, where what we knew we could do, had to come to the fore.
Though by experience(in literal terms) we were novices at that time, but we had a professional approach to what we were doing from the day it started.
The course was for 7th semester Mechanical and Civil students. It was a non-technical course, comprising Group Discussion, Communication skills, Resume writing, Aptitude and Puzzles. Well the students were apprehensive to start off with when they were asked to come and speak, but as the course progressed the students were feeling more comfortable to speak infornt of an audience.
The two day course for the mechanical and civil students came to an end. The feedback which we received after the two day course reassured the faith which all four of us had when we started this course that we could be instruments for guiding people towards realizing their goal of getting placed, as the confidence which the students lacked when they satrted the course was evident when the course was complete.
Though it was considered as a pilot project for all concerned, the success of the first course scripted a new chapter in the lives of the four of us.
Seeing the feedback of Mechanical and Civil students the college invited us to train the 5th semester students just a week after this course was done.
This was a statement which was loud and clear that 'Adhyapana team had arrived'!!!
