“The number zero has a supreme quality. If you multiply it by any number, the situation will remain the same. I have a deep connection with zero since all the rags to riches story start there.”
Angelo Russo was one of the best pastry chefs of Italy. He had lived a long and fulfilling life, doing what he loved most, and had finally retired to spend time with his beautiful wife, Maria, in the quiet town of Ferrara.
I have been reading a lot lately about how to network effectively in the job search process. The art of networking has assumed a growing importance in the world which is rapidly changing. Although today's millennials are tech-savvy and most of their lives are ruled by technology, networking is one aspect which shall never lose the human touch! The interaction may be aided by technology but at the end, you interact with a human! So the most important lesson that I learnt about networking is not to forget to build relations with your contacts because they are humans too! Networking can get as mechanical as it sounds. But if you want to leave a lasting memory, lend a human touch to your interactions. Listen earnestly to what the other person has to say. Engage with them in the true sense of the word. Don't sound pushy. Instead be interested in the free-flowing conversations. Anecdotes shared during conversations make them lively and memorable.
Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management (SITM) is a well-known name in the ICT industry which proffers leaders and pioneers for its tremendous contribution towards the domain for over 20 years. It offers students, a lot more than just an MBA degree where it is made sure that rational and analytical thinking is imbibed into the minds of every student.
It was pure serendipity being selected into the inaugural E.L.I.T.E. General Management program but little did I know that as I jump from the velvet comforts of life at a b-school campus, the 5-week on-boarding experience at Capgemini would be even more enthralling.
Are you still of the opinion that Human Resources deals with the soft side of the business? Do you think that an HR is responsible for blowing balloons on special occasions in the organisation? Then let me help you understand what happens when HR policies in an organisation do not keep up with the pace of the industry.
The MBA entrance exam season is on the brink of getting started. A number of candidates will be fine-tuning their preparation right now, whilst there will be others who would be struggling to kick the inertia out of their systems and start their preparation. Those who fall in the latter group do not let the lazy voice within u tell you, “Be Practical, It’s Too Late”. Run away from those who spread negativity. You may come across acquaintances who may say, “I’m preparing for last one year and it’s not working for me” or “These exams are really difficult to crack, it’s not our cup of tea”. Remember these are the people who don’t plan realistically or have laid-back attitude. The basic syllabus for these exams is roughly the same as Mathematics and English taught in the class VII-X. So, ideally, if your fundamentals are in place then it should take roughly 250 hours of preparation which means just 5 hours for 50 days or 3 hours for some 85 odd days i.e. max 3 months. But you need to be very focused in these 3 months and practice religiously. Also, you need not run after solving more and more questions but rather focus on solving different varieties of questions and remember the method used to solve these questions. There is a need to master the art of solving questions using shortcut techniques.
