The career advice most freshers receive was written for a world that no longer exists.
A decade ago, the path was clear: get a good degree, land a stable job, climb steadily. Today, that script has been replaced by something far less predictable and far more demanding. Industries are restructuring. Roles are evolving faster than curricula. And hiring managers are evaluating candidates on dimensions that no college placement talk ever covers.
In this Start Confident webinar, Preeta Mohanty, Chief People Officer at Avistos, breaks down how the modern job market actually works and what it takes to build a real, sustainable career advantage in it.
This session is not about motivation. It is not about generic tips. It is a clear-eyed, insider look at how hiring decisions are made today, what separates candidates who get noticed from those who don't, and why the freshers who thrive in this environment are the ones who stop chasing a linear path and start building a strategic one.
Whether you are actively applying, still exploring, or simply trying to make sense of a market that feels overwhelming, this session will give you the framework to move with clarity, not confusion.
Start Confident. Navigate smarter.
