CLIFF ARNALL ( A FORMER CARDIFF UNIVERSITY LECTURER ) SAYS :

CLIFF ARNALL ( A FORMER CARDIFF UNIVERSITY LECTURER ) SAYS :

·         Work less and spend more time with people you love.

·         People should not be asking: “ How much do I earn ? “ but “ How happy am I ? “

He has even formulated an equation for happiness as follows:

Happiness = O + ( N * S ) + Cpm / T + He

where

O        =    Outdoors

N        =    Nature

S        =    Social Interaction

Cpm   =    Childhood Summer Memories

T        =    Temperature

He      =    Holiday Excitement

I suspect that for a great number of jobless people all over

the world , the most relevant equation right now, would be :

H  (  happiness  )  =  J  (  Job  )   =  M  ( for myself  )

For these millions, happiness is not a “ state of mind “ ,but a

 “ state of body “ !

JOBSEEKERS ARE WONDERING

JOBSEEKERS ARE WONDERING

Are jobseekers right in asking?

Where is the level playing field?

63 years after Independence, Indian Recruiters are still asking the candidates,

·                What community do you belong to?

·                What does your father do for living?

·                Which is your home state?

·                Why did you divorce?

·                What is your mother tongue?

·                Who is prime minister of Hungary?

Jobseekers are wondering :

" Does my work-performance in this Organization depend upon what my answers are ? "

Am I exaggerating? Has anyone faced more irrelevant questions?

And do questions get “ tailored “ to the candidate sitting across the recruiters ?

And what questions are Recruiters elsewhere asking ?

CHICKEN FIRST OR EGG ?

16 June 2010

CHICKEN FIRST OR EGG  ?

That is today's fresh graduate's dilemma.

Recruiters are saying :

" One year since graduation and still  unemployed ? "

Having no experience stands out as the biggest disqualification !

With a long queue of candidates waiting in the hall, the fresh graduate dare not ask :

" How can I get any experience unless I get my  first job ? "

For more than 50 years, I am telling fresh graduates to grab the very first job-offer, no matter how irrelevant.

Get experience. Get qualified. Then keep trying.

PROBABILITIES

PROBABILITIES

According to a recent British study, the probabilities of what your children may become when they grow-up, are as follows:

• A  Rock-Star………………for your first child

• A  Prime Minister……….for your second child

• A  Film Actor……………..for your third child

What parents in UK / USA /  Everywhere,  would like to ask  the researchers is :

" What is the probability of my child becoming an " Employee " when she grows up ?

Or, will she end up applying for jobs on leading job-portals for most of her adult life ? – praying / hoping ?

Do researchers understand the cruel irony of life in 2010 ?
