There are many large websites that hire Computer Science Engineers. One of them is Firstnaukri.com. This is a very large platform where all the companies post their vacancies to hire software engineers. In Computer Science Engineering, jobs can be of many types:

1. Software developers

2. Software Testers

3. Designers

4. Client Support etc.

All of these jobs have certain set of skills required from the candidate.

My friend Utkarsh Gupta works in TCS. He works as a Data Scientist there. When I asked him about the procedures and all the requirements to get a job there, he told me that employers are looking to hire employees who have two different types of skills: Soft skills and hard skills. Hard skills refer to skills such as technical skills, training material, etc whereas soft skills refer to skills such as communication, leadership, time management, etc. He told me that Technical Knowledge is very important to have a great job in your hands. Apart from technical skills, there are many skills that an organization seeks in a job candidate which are as follows:

1. Communication Skills: A candidate must able to communicate effectively — both verbally and in writing. Those with strong communication skills are in high demand. The candidate must be able to communicate properly with clients, Hr managers, employees, and customers. Also, he or she must be able to communicate in writing, such as writing a professional email to a client or a manager.

2. Interpersonal Skills: The candidate must be able to easily connect with the people which can help then to get hired even if they do not have command on technical skills. These skills can help you show how great a leader you can be.

3. Analytical Skills: The candidates need to be able to find out a problem, think it through and find out the solution to the problems. To check these skills, various problem-solving questions might be asked to a job seeker.

4. Leadership skills: Large organizations seek employees that can properly interact with employees, customers, managers, etc. They want to hire candidates who can lead a team properly. The candidate should be able to make the work environment healthy and professional and should be able to fit in.

5. Time Management: The candidate must be able to meet the deadlines of the organization and should be able to complete the work within time.

After talking about all these and some more skills I found out that a job seeker must be prepared mentally and should be very well prepared in terms of all the aspects that a candidate is asked for.
