Student

• In its widest use, student is used for anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university.

Employee

• An Employee is a person who is hired to provide services to a company on a regular basis in exchange for compensation and who does not provide these services as part of an independent business.

what steps to take to prepare for the transition from student to an employee

• 1. Knowledge- The most important thing is what we have learnt since we started our education because if not all but many parts of our knowledge will be put to use and applied in our daily life as an employee.

• 2. awareness- A student during its under grad and post grad years should start taking interest in the surrounding environment and keep track of all relevant happenings. Industry, politics , World news Socio economic activities etc

• 3. Teach students how to network. Students often come out of college having heard that they should network, but not understanding what that means or how to do it. As a result, some new grads simply don't network at all, and others inadvertently use strategies that turn off their contacts. Using networking well betters our chances of job security.

• 4. Help students understand that a degree alone won't get them a job. Too many students graduate with the belief that their degree will lead straight to a job—setting the stage for a painful wake-up call when they realize that in most fields, a degree is simply a minimum qualification, not an instant pass to easy employment.

• 5. Teach students how to evaluate an employer. New grads often take the first job they can find, without asking any of their own questions to evaluate the work they'll be doing, the workplace culture, or the employer's financial stability. Colleges could help significantly by teaching students how to figure out if a potential employer or potential job is likely to be a good fit or not. And if colleges dont, then students should take the initiative to research themselves because in the end its their career.

• 6. Start talking about careers long before graduation. Many students pick a major without fully understanding what jobs it will (and won't) qualify them for once they graduate, and then they're frustrated to learn that the major doesn't come with a clear career path or one that they're interested in following.

• 7. Preparing for the interview process works. Too many new grads have no idea what to expect from a hiring process or what each stage means. As a result, they're prone to think a job is in the bag when it's not, to mishandle something crucial like supplying references, or to make other mistakes related to inexperience.

• 8. Internship and experience. Whether it's a job or an internship, students who come out of school with work experience on their resumes are at a significant advantage to students who only have classes and extracurricular activities to highlight. Students shouldn't learn this once they graduate, at which point it's too late to go back and change it. Schools should be making them aware of this from the start.
