The main cause of this gap is the absence of soft skills. Studies of Fortune 500 companies have reaffirmed the findings that 75% of long term success in career depends on people and soft skills and only 25% in technical skills. As a student moves out of the protected environment of a college into the demanding world of industry, it requires cultivating excellent personal and professional attitudes and develop the ability to adapt to changing situations. The book, From College to Career - How to Make the Transition and Become a Successful Professional, by Gopalaswamy Ramesh and Mahadevan Ramesh that is getting launched, captures the essence of such career building by focusing on several important topics, ranging all the way from initial job hunting and the placement process to communication skills and social responsibility. The contents of this book have been developed based on successful execution of courses on Soft Skills and Professional Development at IIT, Madras and other places. This presentation by the author, Gopalaswamy Ramesh will highlight the skills required and some practical tips to achieving those skills and provide a brief overview of the book. About the Speaker ============== Gopalaswamy Ramesh is an independent consultant, eminent author, visiting and adjunct professor in several reputed universities and an acknowledged thought leader in the areas of global software project management, software testing and related areas as well as on soft skills. He has over three decades of experience in industry, consulting and teaching. He has taught courses in several leading universities including IIT Madras, IIM Bangalore, IIIT Bangalore, XLRI, Jamshedpur, Anna University, Chennai, Amrita School of Business and Great Lakes Institute of Management. In particular, he has taught the contents discussed in this book to several batches of students at IIT Madras. He played a key role in establishing Oracle's India Development Center and growing it from zero to close to 500 people. His national award winning book Managing Global Software Projects and another book, Software Testing - Principles and Practices have also been translated into Chinese.
