The days of saying I studied English in school and know nothing about marketing or economics or science is long gone. For today’s graduates life can be fraught with uncertainties if not adequately prepared. Remember, talent alone won't make your career successful. Neither will being in the right place at the right time, unless you are ready. The most important question is 'are you ready?’ It takes a prepared person to spot and maximize opportunities. The author V Rajesh laments the vast gap that exists between the academic information input absorbed during formal schooling and the actual knowledge required for success in career. He calls this vacant area ‘Out of Syllabus’ and forewarns that life would throw such ugly occasions from time to time; and hiding behind any one alibi anytime won’t help you soar into the sky. Else, the outcome is job by default, work-related stress, unhappiness.

Using the three bucket theory of career planning (in fact, the book describes four), ‘Out of Syllabus’ explains how to imbibe important inputs, tips and guidelines that are hardly taught. ‘There is no universal formula for success, each has to build one’, ‘use inputs as a stepping stone to success’, ‘perseverance in needed, nothing happens overnight’ and finally ‘prayer and faith have the power to melt even stones’ are the four buckets of delivery mechanism for sure success in career and life. The reader may use the ideas contained to stretch his thinking and imagination to arrive at his own ‘Personal Success Secrets’, an element every successful person has; and elaborately highlighted in the book.

Strongly recommended for every student leaving the campus to discover greener pastures ahead!
