Career Edge Knockdown Lockdown

20 May 2020
During this lockdown period we got an opportunity to upgrade our skills
through an online course. The course was offered by TCS which is
“Career Edge Knockdown Lockdown”. This course was offered by our
college to sharpen our skills. It also provides E-certificate after the
completion of the course. This course is free of cost. Through this
course we can earn 3 credit points which we get from our college.
This course comprises 15 modules. Each module has a 10-mark
assessment and on the 15th day there is a final assessment of the course.
Each module contains different skills that are very useful for corporate
life. There were some interesting topics regarding job opportunity like
resume and cover letter, soft skills, communication to impress,
presentation and etc. Each module was explained very briefly and it
mentioned an example with it. In module “Group Discussion” there was
a proper example given that how GD is conducted and few questions
were asked about the video. Like this there were too many videos in
different modules which gave a better understanding about the topic. In
a corporate life, etiquette is a most important thing that how you behave,
how to perform, everything is recorded. In this module two important
etiquette were taught which were corporate etiquette and telephone
etiquette. Telephone etiquette is important because customer is first
point of the organization. Business etiquette shows how formal you are
in an organization and represent your personality through it. Foundation
skills and soft skills are quite similar to each other. They talk about how
and employers should train himself with different skills. This module
contains various skills like teamwork, workplace skills, people skills,
communication skills, time management skills, etc.
In every business there are different modes of communication. One of
them is Email etiquette which is one of the most important skills
employed in the workplace today. Accounting is a major part of the
business. There are three important parts in accounting which are
Understanding Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Understanding
Cash Flow. The last part is about presentations, Effective presentation
skills are important because they help keep a presentation interesting,
help the presenter communicate with confidence and etc.
Thus, I conclude that this course was very beneficial for me as it taught
me various skills. It helped a lot to sharpen my skills. This course gave
me a chance to understand the nature of a corporate life any I will try to
upgrade my skills whenever I get opportunity like this.
