When you keep aside your patriotism for a moment and start to think about India, what will be the first thought in your mind? Is it about the cultural and value tradition or it is about the changes happening across the country? Is it related to Politics or about the Indian entertainment world? May be some body thinks about the increasing population and its effect on the Indian economy? The viewpoints may be positive or negative. When you ask this question to the 1.2 billion people the answers may be different.

When we analyze these answers you can see a common tendency that people are answering according to their related industries. People in the IT sector will mention about the technological changes or the economists can quote the social and economical scenario. A politician will always compare the government policies and a common man may point out his concern about the increasing cost of living.

If the question is asked to the person in the education field he/she will be flattered about the changes happening across the sector. One thing is of sure that changes are visible around as and each person is experiencing those changes.

The face of India has changed significantly and it is not the same country as it was ten years before. It has become really competitive, everyone is thinking about how to win over others. Today it needs to be so; otherwise somebody else will pick up their place.

When we look into the education sector it has become more attractive and offers so many choices to pursue now. The technological advancement also shows it color in the education sector. Now the learner is more focused and has many ways to find out what is right and wrong for them. Today’s youth are literally seeing things through the internet planet.

The external changes, to an extent, helped to create a small change in the unemployment ratio; but the decrease shows a fractional difference.  Now the students and the job seekers are aware more about the available opportunity and how to reach out to these opportunities. The demands from the competitive word are out of limit and the students should prepare to face these challenges during their studies.

Even if you have opportunities, there will be a point called screening and selection process. It is not only meant for the job seekers but also for the higher study aspirant. Now the requirements are for the multitasking people. So as a learner you should develop a habit of doing multitasks.

Multitasking: What it indicates?

We used to believe that doing many task together won’t be effective and it is not a good idea for any one. But as the time changes these beliefs are proved to be misconceptions and the world demand people who aregood in multitasking. As the world stands for, it means doing different tasks at a time. The word is a recent addition to our dictionary and is originated from the Engineering sector. Now it becomes a quality that every people need to display in this Tec-world.

Human multitasking, a person who is able to perform many jobs simultaneously, is a preferred profile for many professional sectors and programs. Now the post recession period is looking for the people who can contribute to more than one projects/teams. The professional courses are also encouraging people with the gift to perform multitasking.

How to Practice this?

The habit of handling different jobs should be developed from the school level itself. The extra curricular activities are for those who love to take challenges. Being an active participant in the student’s corners and membership clubs also boost your ability to do multitasking. When you learn to manage these programs along with the academics you can call yourself as person performing multitasks. When you have to face the challenges in future these small activities makes a lot of difference in your attitude and after all for a long way to travel you have to take the first step.

Multitasking is not only practicable in schools but also in college you can develop your skills in the same. There are people who are doing jobs along with their studies. These are nothing but multitasking. May be the financial background is demanding such students to take a job in the free time, but unknowingly you are practicing one of the most essential quality for today’s job prospects.

The advanced technology also boosted the ability of people to perform multitask. Though the technology enables one to do their job comfortable and in an easier way, it now contributes to your efficiency in handling different jobs simultaneously.

Online classes are one of the examples for this. This will help one with busy schedule to pursue their degree through this medium. If you are not able to physically attend the program due to your work schedule you can do your studies by joining the online courses. The online courses are recognized as a flexible program and here you are balancing your career along with the academics, a perfect multitasking. These are some way to build up your personality with the title of multitasking.

What critics to Say?

In every matter we can have the opinions of the critics. Like every coin has two sides, if unbiased, there are some negative sides pointed out about multitasking. The major one is about the level of concentration and focus. It says that when a student/professional has to concentrate on the different projects/courses, the individual attention given for each will be less. This will affect the outcome and the deliverable won’t be as effective as if they handle them separately.

There is much more chance to find errors in these outputs. Another important one is about the time frame. It is observed that the individual take more time to complete a task if he/she is handling more than one job at a time. So it is not a good idea to do multitasking when the requirements are more around precision.

We can manage many things at a time; there are personalities who are live example for this title. The point you have to remember is, you should be the observer of yourself. You should be able to keep the level of performance in both activities and don’t give any room for errors.  Learn to use your time as effectively so that you can make a difference in the future path…
