JC-Season

This has been a season for job-changes. More and more people I know are looking for a new job, all with different aspirations and motivation and all for different reasons. Some have been successful but for others success is still a motivation.

I have been to a couple of interviews and I don’t have very pleasant memories of them. Well being in a city like Bangalore is in itself means that you have to raise your standards. Though IT and ITES companies have been mushrooming here like anything, so has been the engineers and the competition is fierce. You have to give your best shot to make it. I have been wondering about some ways or rather some guidelines that could maneuver your way into your dream company. What I see, these interviews are a stage where you have to perform and sell yourself. I have always preferred the KISS(Keep it Simple Stupid) strategy and it is indeed the most successful strategy. Wondered why engineers still prefer UNIX over Windows? Well let me put these into ways, which you can relate to:

AB is not everyone’s dad: Well Java tells us what inheritance is. But every class cannot be a child class of one parent and not everybody can be Amitabh’s son. This inheritance is definitely one of the easiest ways to success and definitely not to sustain it. You are placed in the best of showrooms and you will be sold easily for a good price but ultimately you have to perform in the market to retain and sustain. But ..... dad !!!! uh… its all in X and Y..

You will sell if you are Britney’s Underwear: You might have been bought from any ordinary shop but…. dude you are Britney’s underwear… you will sell good…that is branding. Your chances of getting a very good job depend on the college you have studied from. You will get the impunity because you are branded. But there is a difference between Britney’s underwear and being from a good college. Your destiny may make you Britney’s but only hard work will make you IITian. The point here is branding.

But AB was not born AB: This is where I am and most of you will be. I was watching one the movie ‘RONIN’….. It said ‘Money is in heart’.…you gotcha dream big…..dreams are indeed the best motivation... it happened with me but abnormally a larger number of times I would say….I have failed….so would have you… but that’s the way to success…I have a disease ….a disease that helps me…. I am everoptimistic …my optimism is rhododendrons…… The best person I can lookup to is Steve Jobs…… indeed …. You can only join the points backwards….
But how will your dream and optimism sell you…. Well the baseline to sell yourself is knowledge…. Study and study hard…. And travel and travel hard….. these are the best ways to increase your knowledge.. first travel and second books…now how to travel dude… simple Google it boss… got the point?? And where to read…. Ofcourse ….google it boss…your dream will tell you … where to travel and what to read and optimism will improve your memory….. you will retain the knowledge ever……

Will before signing out….. KISSes for you.. you know your strong point….stick to it.. and thank GOD!!! I am waiting for the party…
