Building life skills over a resume | Harika Reddy | TEDxMLRIT

Being an engineer in India is quite a hassle. So, by being an engineer herself, Ms. Harika Reddy knows what an engineer goes through. With the knowledge that she acquired, she started working for a start-up company as a placement trainer. On the journey to this point in her life, she experienced many things that helped her enhance her skills and also to gain numerous other skills which she shares about in this talk. This is where she realized that engineers can do anything if they put their mind to it. She points out that students choose engineering because they pursue the easiest way to get a job. But she says that they can achieve anything if they put their heart to it.
