The Eternal Truth...

There are only 3 ways to write a blog... The Right Way, The Wrong Way and MY Way :-)

Programming Myself....

If you want something you never had, you must do something you never have done!!! - That's meee!!! can't be better:-)

Is anyone listening????

How many times have you read the following in a help wanted ad or job description: must have good verbal and written communication skills? Almost all service industry jobs these days seems to demand proficiency in those areas from candidates considering employment.

When I read that I assume they mean they require people who can express themselves intelligently and have the ability to articulate ideas clearly and concisely. They want you to have the ability to write a letter outlining a issue or explain something verbally to a customer. I would also believe that they require you to be able to listen and understand what you are told by your supervisor and a client.

The funny part ? well every one claims to be highly competent in these areas and you realize thier rating scale when you actually talk to them :-)

1. They can't distinguish between he/she. Its a license to mix them up as and when they want.

2. Keyword driven. Just utter the keyword and its you who have to draw out a series of questions to understand what they mean.

3. One line emails. For heaven sake we are not testing you ability to condense issues.

4.Direct - mother tongue translation. Just convert your ideas into english exactly the same way you would talk in your mother tongue,Don;t just bother syntax and semantics :-)

5.Answer a question with another question :-)

And to talk about, these are the very people who demand over compensation, threaten to quit projects in between and demand promotions :-)

Way of the world !!!!
