What employers look for in a candidate

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 12:35:52 +0000

Timo: Ever heard about Intelligence Quotient? Jarmo: Of course, yes. Timo: Yeah i thought so. I think most of us would have!! Timo: OK then, how about emotional quotient? Jarmo: Sounds vaguely familiar. Though don’t know what that means. Timo: Alright. How about this – Spiritual Quotient? Jarmo: Spiritual…what?

This dialogue between two colleagues isn’t that uncommon. Our society has placed an extraordinary importance, in the past, on Intelligence Quotient, that we all think, the one with he highest IQ is the best. Actually, as you might have guessed already, it isn’t the case and certainly it isn’t something that employers look for [...] Related posts:

Fable: An Eagle or a crow?

admin — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 15:09:24 +0000

A fable:

There was a crow’s nest on a tree top. An eagle’s egg by mistake ended up on the crow’s nest along with her eggs. One brilliant day, the eggs hatched. The eagle chick played and grew along with other crow chicks, thinking it is indeed a crow. After a few weeks, as they grew bigger they all started to learn to fly. The crow chicks were airborne very quickly, while the eagle chick struggled to lift herself up. The eagle chick didn’t realise it takes a bit longer for its wings to develop and [...] Related posts:

10 things you should never do at Work

admin — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:26:49 +0000

There are a number of things that you should never do at a work place. This would of course include things that have been detailed on your contract and would be a legal agreement. Employees are also generally expected to follow the code of conduct and the contract and almost all of us do follow them – like being in the office at agreed working hours, turning up for a meeting in time, calling up the manager if sick etc. etc. These are all common stuff that everyone is generally aware of and [...] Related posts:

The real winners

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:39:24 +0000

The world is always excited about winners. Be it sport, business, academics or politics, it is the winners that define the world. It is probably because we all want to stand out and prove we are better than the others in everything we do. This pressure to prove that we are better than others sometimes turns into a nasty rat race that we loose sight of the big picture. But that doesn’t mean that we should be complacent and not run at all. We are all born with definite qualities and we should try and use [...] Related posts:

Strategies to retain talent

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 07:30:06 +0000

In today’s world, the most valuable asset for a company is its employees. Other machinery, equipments and tools can be upgraded quite quickly, provided there is enough money, when compared to hiring and training an employee for a job. All employer-employee relations have a break-even point up to which the company invests on the employee and after which the company sees some returns back. The biggest loss a company can face is when an employee quits at the break-even point. But with some logical and simple steps employers can reduce, if not avoid, brain drain. [...] Related posts:

Welcome to the Jan 2010 edition of personal development and well being carnival hosted at http://www.karthikrajg.com.

Getting on the management train

admin — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 07:31:32 +0000

We all want to grow in our career over time. None of us would want to stay where we started in our career. This means getting on to the management ladder, sooner or latter. Although not all career paths are the same, people management in most of the career paths still remains fairly similar. But, people management is different from other types of management – it appears to be easy and is easy, if understood and done right. Even though most of us would end up as managers at some point, whenever i spoke to a friend [...] Related posts:
