Subject: When to start applying for job?
Date: 15-Jan-2003
Question: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am busy till mid-June for my exams. But I still want to start applying
in companies. Is it a good idea ? If I ask my interviewer to take my interview
but I won't be joining till say 2 months, is it harsh or okay ? Thank you.
Answer:
No harm in applying if you can keep focus on exams. I would suggest that
you should not dilute your focus. An additional 5% boost in result will boost
your chances for a job by 15% at least. Please evaluate for yourself where
you gain more, and then focus accordingly.
