MY EXPERIENCE WITH LIFE !!!!

In my organisation there is a person who exactly behaves like Arman Kohli of Big Boss. Hope everybody knows Arman Kohli. The way he shouts in the serial always reminds me the person in my office. This person is always shouting with no reason and then saying sorry realising that it could harm his personal interest. When I say personal interest it means he wants to get his personal work done by his colleagues. He always supports those people in the organisation who do his personal work. To attract them he every now and then gives them lunch party, snacks party. To my surprise sometimes he gives them money with no reason. He does all this just to get sympathy and getting the work done which could be done by paying little amount to outside person. It is shocking to see people are happy to do his work because being a head of business he can affect their performance.  I don’t understand why people don’t believe in their work. Rather than they believe in flattery so that they don’t

Non-monetary gifts to get favour of HR Department When I was new in HR department, people used to give different items like offering tea, coffee, giving gifts without reason to lure people in hr department to get favour in attendance, appraisal process or leave. Being unaware of this fact, I was doing my work as usual. One day one of my colleagues came to me and asked me if I know why other people give us VIP treatment. I replied in a normal tone, may be they like us or they feel we are good to share feelings of them.  She laughed at me and gave me strange look. After that she explained me about this fact. Tell me if you had faced the same experience in your past work situation?

It is very difficult to cope up with corporate culture especially when you are new to it.                              Here are few tips you need to take into consideration when you join corporate environment. Limit your talk to work only when you are talking to your colleagues. Do not back bite for other colleagues.  There is no guarantee if that person is sharing your information to others. Even if you do not like the facility arrangement of the organisation. Do not complain about it to your colleagues. They would not be able to do anything to improve it. Do not do bad talk about management in front of your colleagues. Always appreciate the work of everybody. Do not share personal information with colleagues in the office. Do not do long conversation during office hours to your personal friends using landline or your mobile. Do not over use lunch hours. Reach to office hours before time and leave the

Is it good to do a follow up call after interview? Honestly speaking, I don’t find it good. I believe, if you are a deserving candidate for the position or you fulfill the criteria of the job, interviewer will call you himself/herself. I have seen many corporate recruiter or writer or most of the author who write about interview techniques or mantra of cracking interview,  focus on follow up call. I could not understand the need of it. Infect, in my opinion if you do follow up call interviewer will think either you are desperate to get a job or you don’t believe in your capability of getting the job.  2ndly, even if you do a follow up call, interviewer will not reveal the right information about your candidature.   What I would suggest is just wait for one week, if you don’t get a call that means you are not shortlisted or doesn’t fit the criteria of the job. What is your suggestion? Comments are most welcome. Cheers Sujata

Today I was traveling to Noida. While coming back I saw one foreigner traveling in a metro reading a book called “Complete Hindi”. That put me into deep thought that people from other countries are trying to learn Hindi and we being Indian are feeling embarrassed if we have to speak in Hindi. Everybody wants an employee friend, partner who can speak good English. Amazing. Hum Hindustan main rahkar hindi bolte hue sharam mahsoos karte hain, while other people are trying to learn Hindi. I do not know about others but it was very embarrassing moment for me. Big MNCs do not hire people who do not have good English speaking skills. We feel bad if we can’t speak English. Even if someone is speaking to you in Hindi and if you are good English Speaker, you will have a feeling that you are talking to illiterate person. What a mentality we have. I remember long back I got rejected by very good company because I could not speak fluent English. Infact interviewer asked me wh

It is being said by many motivational speakers “unless you get a job of your choice, enjoy your current job” if you won’t do that you will be unhappy and performance will be zero. Now how to stay positive when you are not doing a job of your choice? Do the followings: 1.        You can help other colleagues in their task. 2.        Read lots of books, magazines, subjects of your interest and choice 3.        Improve yourself for your choice of career day by day 4.        Keep yourself up-to date of the things which you would like to do 5.        Get ready for the opportunity as opportunity doesn’t knock twice. 6.        Do not wait for the opportunity, do your home-work well before time. Don’t do the followings 1.        Do not get involve in gossip 2.        Do not talk about other colleagues bad work 3.        Do not trust blindly 4.        Keep yourself cool in uncontrollable situation 5.        Even if you don’t like management decision o

Do not work for Lalla company. Even if you get good package, your job satisfaction and self-respect would be zero. In Lalla company what they want is only loyalty like Dog. Come to office before time and go after office hours, boss will be happy. Whether you work during that time or not, would not make much difference. One thing which your boss would like you to do is simply follow whatever he / she instructs you to do. Whether it is right or wrong, should not be your concern  J . You would have no right to raise your voice or concern. If you would do, samjh lo tumhari job gayi J . Little flattery and you would be in boss good books always.
