JOB READINESS PROGRAM FROM INDIA’S TOP INDUSTRY BODY

SWARADA KHELE, GITAM, Hyderabad
I had no confidence and was rejected in the final interview wherever I applied for a job. This deeply affected my morale!
After GlobalGyan’s training, I received a placement offer from Airtel! Getting a permanent job after so many rejections, is proof of how much this training is required by students!
Programme gave me insights about corporates, business acumen and specially how to be ready for interviews.
I secured a job as Management Trainee in Glasswing
