Prompt of the Week



The placement session is currently being held in many colleges in India. Companies are in a race to find the best of the best among the large chunk of the crowd. However, not all of them would be selected because of their communication skills. Good communication skills are like cheery food on top of a cake for many recruiters. Many students don’t want to crack the interviews of these big companies because they cannot express themselves in front of a panel or lack knowledge. But not anymore; today, we will make a prompt that helps the users with communication skills.
