Recruiters or Keywords Searchers (18-Apr-2008)

The recruiter from that company asked this Marketing champ,"Who is the Father of Modern Marketing"? This guy humbly responded, "Madam, Sorry but I don't know." "Ok, we'll get back to you if you are shortlisted for the next round." she uttered and disconnected. "hahaha, this guy is having 20 years of experience and does not know basic things, I don't know who is paying him 60 lakhs," she told her co recruiter while laughing loudly. The humble guy called the CEO of Recruiter's company, " Hey Ajay, your recruiter called me, I showed interest but I think she rejected me" "What are you saying Sunil, if you agree to take Chief Marketing Officer's Role with us, I can extend our Budget to 1cr + Profit sharing. We all know you are the best in the industry. Please join us." Ajay was excited while saying this. "I'll definitely think of it yaar" Sunil promised before disconnecting. Believe me, most of the recruiters have no clue about the business. Take back those well-drafted keywords from Job descriptions and they are dead. Does it make sense that a Non-Engineer, rejects an Engineer based on a 3 minutes telecon in which Non- Engineers asks 5 Technical questions (Copied from Google search)? Have you come across those Recruiters? Share your experience. Anupam S Shlok #Anupamism

Alpha Employees (14-Apr-2018)

In any organization, Smartest people are the toughest to handle, they don't fit in stereotype protocols of the organizations. These people don't sleep before 3 AM so don't expect them to be at the office always in time. These people get frustrated easily, they have strong opinions, which they are not shy to utter. At times they behave strangely, at times they are unpredictable. Some use strong language, some are mostly mum. They get irritated easily, they irritate others constantly.

Most of the organizations are not designed to accommodate them, but still, they exist in organizations. True leaders should identify these people and develop subjective ways to get benefited from this "breed of people".

Indeed, they are tough to handle but as good and productive as 100 "Not So Smart" employees.

#AlphaEmployees 

Possible Traits - Multilingual, Always updated about the world, Would explain the toughest concepts easily, Either strong Non-believer or Strong Believer, Bibliophile, Extremely quick Learner, pathetic Dress sense, 50% employees of the organization absolutely Love them, 50 % absolutely hate them, dreamers & Many more

Sexless World (10-Apr-2018)

When you are at work, your sex, Male or female should not matter. This world should have equal opportunities and no biases based on sexual organs. Your Receptionist, Kiran, is a boy or girl is meaningless. Important is productivity and efficiency. Sexual organs are only relevant in your Bedroom.It has no relevance at your workplace or any public place or for that matter anywhere else. I hope for a world where there is no column for Sex declaration in any Application form. A world where "Female President", "Female Astronaut", "female Train Driver" should never be a headline. Women do not need you to empower them, they are capable enough to empower themselves. What they need is freedom from our weird, awful expressions when they achieve something. They don't need your help in taking care of luggage when they travel, actually,y they dont need you to take care of anything for them. They don't need your guidance, they dont need your sympathy. They need justifiable right on resources and most importantly they need you to behave yourself. Anupam S Shlok #Anupamism
