3 reasons you are not getting HIRED

As we know that 30 years ago, a 5 to 10 minutes interview was enough to hire somebody, because hiring managers wanted to hire. Today, it takes from 3 to 6 interviews to get back not more than a negative answer through an automated email.

We have enormous flow of people who are apt with the skill-set required to perform an excellent job but not able to perform well in Interviews. Beside, they have many talents, impressive qualifications, and a positive attitude but yet they are not getting hired because there are three main reason for their failure in the interview process as given below -

3. They look for people who do well on interviews, not those who do well on the job. Under the pressure of the interview in unfamiliar settings many good people don't perform well.

2. They look for perfection that does not exist. Look for passion, talent and attitude! 

And number 1:

1. Everyone is looking for 30 year olds with 20 years of experience. 

They have some other hidden reason also -

1. They want top talent with tons of experience but insist on paying low entry level compensation.
2. They are deep in the hole, their projects are behinds, they used the interview questions to get the right ideas on how to go the right way on solving it!  They don't hire you because you gave them them the solution on hypothetical questions.
3. They have reached a high turnover because the whole team left due to office politics, toxic environment, idiotic micro manager... They want a front/back kisser and submissive so they can abuse, discriminate and feed their ego to remedy their inferiority complex.
4. Some of the company emphasis more on his/her Looks rather than a person's capability or Work Experience. They want good looking, Dynamic Personality.

Recruiters specialize in their certain industry areas, so have a good idea of the skill set available on the market at that time and also specialize in reading different peoples personalities and building relationships with people at all levels day in, day out. We know it is not always easy to find a great Recruiter, but we are out there and our job is to match the best candidates with our clients companies/teams and overall specific requirements. It is mostly that HR doesn't understand anything about technologies. Was told once that they don't want to hire people who are not currently working on the specific technology.

It's very tough to decide a best city in the world to accomplish the above list. To choose a city for your family, security is the main concern for anyone. I have come across my research and find out the following cities for living -

Loyalty should be rewarded, not punished

Rewarding the loyal employees should be considered as Investment for long lasting business and revenues. Loyal or not, the driving force for turning up to work every day as an employee is to “earn” a living. If this becomes diluted then so does the drive to stay loyal!. Income should always match the contribution, this is a very simple rule and has nothing to do with loyalty.

Loyalty as a word here does not suit the employees. Infact, it is the hard work and intelligence for which the employers are paid and which they deserve as well. Employers have complete rights to seek opportunities around as they will always look for the same for their career growth and new challenges. At the same time company should pay them as per their efforts and dedication. Employers get paid for their work and dedication. Their loyalty is hard work. If they are not paid well they will leave the company and the company will loose the talent. But the employee will get other opportunities because he always was working hard.

Loyalty may be subjectively seen by bosses where employees may be docile. Nevertheless (s)he may be utterly focused and result oriented. The financial success of employee can be related to  mathematical relation - Directly proportional to highlighting himself as always relevant for him and inversely proportional to time spent indicating the work goals achieved. 

Loyalty is the result of positive actions. Those who continue to be loyal in an unfair reprimand conjuncture must have low self-esteem including fear of losing their job.

There are Organisations or functions or leaders who just prefers to ignore the Long term implication of it. However, sooner or later the outcome is nothing but attrition. And then the whole cost of rehiring and reinstalling an incumbent, would cover up or probably exceed the original cost of retaining a talented employee. Not forget the viral marketing that happens from the unhappy employee for which fresh hiring might also be a challenge.

Organisation try to suck the max out of employee in the name of loyalty. The organization here value a person only if he resigns. Corporate succumbing to employee blackmail is common while caring for the deserving is rare. Trusted people sometimes cannot fetch the result. Good people never smell of the successful life. Only positive attitude people can fetch the positive results. That s power of positive attitude but it s very difficult to find out the positive attitude people. However let s be strong let s be confident let s be positive. They are the key source for upcoming planets , they created that planet so they only able to control that planet . We all should protect them , otherwise alien took over that source from us.

Absolutely an eye opening post for all those who want to take everything from their employees but not ready to give them a justifying salary that would even able to take care of their basic needs. In three years of time span I haven't come across a single Company/Entity/Organisation or a Boss who does realise how important is to satisfy employees with appropriate range of salaries because no matter what most of us are working for MONEY and it's the only motivating factor that make an individual to feel give best outcomes and increase productivity and let's do more attitude for an employer when they see their companies are taking care of them. May be there must be some out there in my Country and I'm unlucky to find one. 

Interview Question - What are your weaknesses?

A good interviewer will ask strong, job-related questions focused on identifying an individual’s emotional intelligence level to evaluate how the candidate will perform in the role but sometimes this type of interview questions are good and sometimes not, it can reveal genius person or idiot ones, it depends on the situation.

A very well known organization that assists with resume', interview and other coaching as part of a severance package told me that interviewers may ask 'what is your weakness', because some people actually answer the question with answers that provide immediate disqualification, such as, 'I tend to be late Mondays because I am a weekend warrior', or 'I despise coming in at the same time everyday and bosses complaining about it'. However, a good interviewer instantly spots insanity without asking about weaknesses.

If it's an employee that conforms with everything they are told to do then this hits the jackpot, especially if the candidates are readily prepared for the questions.

90% of a job is  being able to get along with everyone else; the rest (the actual job) is on-the-job-training, at least in the companies I've worked for, that's been the case. We're not numbers, we're people. Shoot,  we all have weaknesses and does anyone really know where they will be in 5 years? Heck, I could be dead in  5 years! I'd rather have conversations with people and find out if they are easy going and easy to work with; after all, people do business with people. And, are they trainable? If so, they'll probably be an awesome addition to the team.

They don't only asked such stupid questions. They also expect from profesionnals to reply like parrots! It's hilarious and humiliate, at the same time. I have a tendency to want to give smart-assed answers to stupid questions!! I often get really stupid questions or comments in my line of work because I'm a woman. They really click in the smart-ass in me which I do sometimes allow out.

It is unprofessional and irresponsible for recruiters to keep going through the same questions over and over again. It makes no significant sense. Simply hire people, train them and provide them with responsibilities, and watch your company grow. 

RBI to issue ₹2000 Rupees Notes coming February 2017

Indian black money

In India, Black money refers to funds earned on the black market, on which income and other taxes have not been paid. The total amount of black money deposited in foreign banks by Indians is unknown. Some reports claim a total exceeding US$50 trillion are stashed in Switzerland's. Other reports, including those reported by Swiss Bankers Association and the Government of Switzerland, claim that these reports are false and fabricated, and the total amount held in all Swiss banks by citizens of India is about US$2 billion.

Historic moment against black money in India - Just a beginning of the end of black money in India

Not just a piece of paper, there is much more in this note Read the full content of this message. A very good move by Modi government. In the sixties demonetising of 1000/5000/10000 took place.That was purely internal. Now greater problems on the rise due to forged notes of higher denominations of 500/1000 from Pakistan,Bangladesh,and Nepal. Ordinary people do not have the knowledge of differences between good notes and forged one.surgical strikes needed at this juncture to weed out forged notes.For next two or three days it is going to be a big problem for ordinary people.

"The notes of Rs 2000 and Rs 500 will be circulated soon. The RBI has decided to limit the notes with higher value," PM Modi said.

India is all set to add one more denomination to its currencies shortly. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will be issuing Rs 2,000 currency notes, the highest to come into circulation, even as some experts feel7 high-value denominations should be discontinued to curb black money.

The Rs 2000 currency is designed keeping in mind to eradicate the black money issues using state of the art indigenous nano technology, every Rs. 2000 currency note is embedded with a NGC (Nano GPS Chip)

Banks closed, ATMs shut. Your Rs 500 & Rs 1000 notes are invalid. 

The Prime Minister said that all the 500 and 1,000 denomination notes can be deposited in banks and post offices from November 10 till December 30.

How the embeded NGC Technology Works?

The unique feature of the NGC is it dosent need any power source. It only acts as a signal reflector. When a Satellite sends a signal requesting location the NGC reflects back the signal from the location, giving precise location coordinates, and the serial number of the currency back to the satellite, this way every NGC embedded currency can be easily tracked & located even if it is kept 120 meters below ground level. The NGC cant be tampered with or removed without damaging the currency note.

How will this help eradicate black money menace?

Since every NGC embeded currency can be tracked. The satellite can identify the exact amount of money stored at a certain location. If a relatively high concentration of currency is found a certain location for a longer period of time at suspicious locations other than banks & other financial institutions. The information will be passed on to the Income Tax Department for further investigation.

INDIA A BRIGHT SPOT IN GLOBAL ECONOMY: MODI

Modi, in his address to the nation, said India has "registered itself as a bright spot" in the global economy. In the past two-and-half-years, with the help of 125 crore people, this nation has registered itself as a bright spot in the global economy. This is a claim made not by us, but by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and this government is for the poor, and will remain a government of the poor."

Think and Grow Rich - Three feet from Gold

A book called "Think and Grow Rich", by Napoleon Hill and there is a story called "Three feet from Gold".

A gold miner owns a mine that is producing a good amount of gold, but after a while, the mine stops producing gold. The miner digs and digs but only find rock for his trouble. Finally, he gives up and sells his mine to a father and son team who sell almost everything they have to buy the mine. Everyone tells them they're crazy, but they are convinced there is still gold in that mine. With the last bit of money they have left, they hire a geologist to find the vein for them. He does. It turns out, the original miner was digging in the right direction. If he had dug three more feet, he would have hit the mother load of all veins. But instead, the father and son end up rich. 

Moral of the story...never give up because you could be just three feet from gold.

Don't give up on the dream that Lye's inside of you. Your greatest desire (dream) that is deep within you, is a gift that your born with. Never give up on it. Pursue it, go after it. No matter how long it takes. Just never give up.

Arise and rest not till your goal is reached. You may have many hurdles in early life but worry not just bury them.

We keep evolving our gifts & talents & if we are paying attention & not afraid of change, can keep discovering new opportunities!

"Success" is a way of looking at ones life-- a person can be a janitor, carpenter, reporter, work at the ymca, etc and still have a very filling life and be very successful. It maybe the real failure is to see the value of menial work, rewarding it justly, and appreciating all that is around us and maybe that is the problem with the world today. It greed and the greed for fame and notoriety.

Remember that the path toward success is never an easy one. You must NEVER STOP trying and NEVER QUIT dreaming! Everything you set your mind on,you can do, it is very true. 

Boost Your Happiness

Now a days, our lives are going to be very busy due to very hectic daily work schedule and we are loosing ourselves. 
Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions and you can not buy it or sell it because it is not something ready made. It always depends on person to person because it comes from their own actions.

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude."

Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.

Philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing, rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in this sense was used to translate the Greek Eudaimonia, and is still used in virtue ethics. There has been a transition over time from emphasis on the happiness of virtue to the virtue of happiness.

It has been argued that money cannot effectively "buy" much happiness unless it is used in certain ways. Beyond the point at which people have enough to comfortably feed, clothe, and house themselves, having more money - even a lot more money - makes them only a little bit happier.  Humans seem happiest when they have

1. Pleasure (tasty food, warm baths, etc.),
2. Engagement (or flow, the absorption of an enjoyed yet challenging activity),
3. Relationships (social ties have turned out to be extremely reliable indicator of happiness),
4. Meaning (a perceived quest or belonging to something bigger), and
5. Accomplishments (having realized tangible goals).

There are a number of mechanisms through which religion may make a person happier, including social contact and support that result from religious pursuits, the mental activity that comes with optimism and volunteering, learned coping strategies that enhance one's ability to deal with stress, and psychological factors such as "reason for being."

Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.
