A degree gets you to the gate. Nobody tells you what happens after that.
Most students we meet have the marks. What they do not have is anyone who has sat on the other side of an interview table and can tell them what it actually looks like.
So we go and tell them.
How to write a resume that is one page and true. How to answer “tell me about yourself” without reciting your biodata. What to do with your hands. How to ask a question at the end. And what to do in your first week of work when you understand nothing and are afraid to say so.
No fee. No agency. Just people who have already been through it.
We have been doing this since 2014 — in engineering colleges around Vinjamur, in government schools in Hyderabad, and once on the streets of Ameerpet, handing interview notes to students walking between coaching centres.
Here is the only rule we ask anyone to take away:
Every campus recruit should help another fresher. Every fresher who lands a job should help another who is still looking.
That is how this spreads. Not through us. Through you.
Some of the students we helped years ago are working now, and a few have come back to fund the next ones. If you run a college or a training centre and want a session, write to us. We will come.
