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.

Is there any difference between honesty, Integrity or dignity?

-
Reading is my hobby and now writing has taken that place recently. Well I was reading one book the other day and I noticed few words on which I got little confuse so I thought of doing some research on it to get the real meaning. These words are honesty and integrity.  After going through dictionary and some other available sources, I got to know the difference between honestly, integrity, dignity. Though I feel honesty and integrity are the synonyms but I came to know the definition of it, and it changed my perspective.  Honesty is when you tell the truth. Integrity is the validity of the truth (or standing morals). Like many other words, these two represent a whole world of meaning. They are used all the time and most of the time, people tend to understand what you mean if you use these words. Honesty is being honest to someone and integrity is maintaining self-respect and honesty. My opinion is you can be honest without integrity but you can’t maintain you...

Life is hard !!!

-
Trust me!!! On this earth nobody is fortunate enough to have the life without any struggle or trouble. Therefore when we say others are doing better than us or their luck favors them more than us or they have not faced any difficulty, we are making fool of ourselves.   Instead of that the truth is whenever they were going through difficult times they have crossed the hurdles with their determinatio n power and their focus towards their goals was so high, they achieved what they wanted to achieve and came out as a winner. Life teaches us many lesson and life depending on what the person wants to achieve, gives the opportunity to prove one-self. If you want to be a winner, you have to be strong enough to face the difficulty, whatever it may be, to become a winner.

Competition “A Threat or An opportunity?

-
How many of us are comfortable with competition. Aren’t we afraid the moment we hear the word competition? Most of the times, we try to give excuses in the name of competition. So when we say competition is high, we are actually escaping from the reality. Either we don’t want to work or we are so lazy to avoid hard work. If we want to exist in this world, we have to either “perform” or we will be “perish”. If we do not have competitor, we will be doing what we are doing, Competition gives us an opportunity to prove oneself.  My dear Friends, nothing comes free and you all know this, then why we are not ready to face competition. Instead of focusing on competition or what others got, we should concentrate on ourselves. We all have ability to achieve what we want; the only thing which we need is persistence and hardwork to achieve what we want. Many of the times we become so comfortable with whatever we have, we do not want to put extra hard work to do something different an...
