Sharing insights into engineering careers and mindsets, Gaurav tells us how being an engineer, students often miss out on the finer aspects of honing their profiles.

Gaurav tells us how one can use his or her personal brand to further grow one’s business. He touches upon the fundamental error that most engineering students make in ignoring communication and networking for their job-related lives.

He shares how recruiters expect engineers to code, to perform well in solving problems as well as be able to communicate. To help engineers excel at all these areas, Gaurav started Interview Ready – a platform that helps engineers get prepared for jobs.

Gaurav throws light on how coding has become an important aspect of all engineering disciplines and how engineers from all backgrounds are expected to know how to code. Moving on, he tells us about his start-up journey with Interview Ready.

Seeing the world from an engineering perspective, this conversation is full of insights on start-up, creating a personal brand and making your own mark despite being from an average background.
