Besides academic qualifications and cutting-edge skills, one must possess qualities such as honesty and raw intelligence.
Companies do an acid test to check whether the candidate has the right attitude in the first place. Since the global economy is more connected than ever before, India is also feeling the slowdown pressures, with tightening job situation as an outcome.
“However, if one possesses all these qualities, companies would not hesitate to hire that person,” Muthukumar Ramalingam, Managing Director and CEO, Dextrasys, told the management students of Saranathan College of Engineering, Panjapur, Tiruchirapalli.
While hiring, companies check for three basic things before going into other aspects — test for integrity, test for intelligence and test for maturity. People with integrity are those who tell the truth, keep their word and take responsibility for their actions.
Intelligence means having a strong dose of intellectual curiosity. People who are mature are those who enjoy success with joy as well as humility.
“These are the key qualities expected to be seen in candidates,” Ramalingam said.
Delivering a guest lecture under the aegis of Business Line Club at the college, he said positive energy with ability to thrive on action, to energise team members, to make quick decisions and execute them, are also essential qualities companies look for in candidates.
“To top it all, one must have passion for work,” he said.
