Rohit Verma

Rohit Verma is a skills development coach and graduate employability specialist who has spent the last six years helping students answer one of the most important career questions they face: what skills do I actually need, and how do I prove I have them?

His background is in talent development and HR consulting, where he worked with mid-size and large employers to define competency frameworks and skills-based hiring criteria. That work gave him a clear, employer-side view of what hiring managers are actually looking for — and how poorly most graduates understand what those things are.

Rohit now translates that employer perspective for students. He helps them identify the skills that are genuinely in demand in their target industries, develop those skills deliberately, and document them in portfolios in ways that are credible and evidence-based rather than vague and self-reported.

His writing philosophy is direct: there is a lot of career advice online, and most of it is too general to be useful. Rohit writes specifically about the skills that move the needle — the ones that show up repeatedly in job specifications, that come up in interviews, and that differentiate candidates who get hired from those who do not.

At SkillStory, Rohit writes about skills strategy, portfolio showcasing, and how students can build a body of evidence that makes their capabilities impossible to ignore. He is based in Jaipur and consults with universities, career centres, and employer partners on skills-based hiring.
