Many of aesi students will be in the last semester of AeSI and here i thought of writing about 6 things they should begin doing in their last semester in AeSI. Earlier i have written about 8 things that you can do after the amaesi examination. I have seen many folks just waiting for the last exam to finish when they begin doing this steps but i feel the right time for this step is the beginning of your last semester and this is when this 6 steps can impact on your entry into the industry once you graduate from aesi.
1. Make your resume and post it on job sites.
2. Begin looking at the requirements. See the skills being demanded. If you have then, good improve them, if you don't acquire them.
3. AeSI provides you the facility of time, so utilize the time to do freelance work. Teaching is great. Maybe join some local CAD center, or teach the skills you know in your institute. But do something to strengthen your skills.
4. Brush up your favorite subjects. One of the favorite question in your first interview will be based on this.
5. Read about your industry. Computer film magazines are spicy but begin reading about the industry you are about to enter. You might begin with indianaeronews blog to stay current on Indian aerospace news.
6. If you are good at designing, have worked in some CAD or analysis tools, then create an online or offline portfolio. This portfolio will give you an added advantage when you do the job hunting.
Though i have written the steps in keeping aesi folks in mind, but these steps are equally applicable to all the graduating students.
