HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR JOB

HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?
Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.

If they are counting the bricks. Put them in the accounts department.

If they are recounting them.. Put them in auditing.

If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks. Put them in engineering.

If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order. Put them in planning.

If they are throwing the bricks at each other. Put them in operations.

If they are sleeping. Put them in security.

If they have broken the bricks into pieces. Put them in information technology.

If they are sitting idle. Put them in human resources.

If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved. Put them in sales.

If they have already left for the day. Put them in marketing.

If they are staring out of the window. Put them on strategic planning.

And then last but not least. If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved. Congratulate them and put them in top management.

ROMAN HOLIDAY - A must watch classic

I should thank one of my friend who made me watch this movie - ROMAN HOLIDAY . Another movie added to my likings.
Its a simple movie, in which a princess runs away from the restrictions to see Rome for 24 hours . I wont go into the details of the scenes. The performance of Audrey Hepburn is just brilliant. She even won an Academy award for the performance. Gregory Peck is also very good.
The chemistry on screen comes up very well. I have rarely seen a brilliantly shot movie with a simple story and still moving.

Remembering someone...

I changed the job. I joined this company. Probem with me was to find friends in this place. Overall company was large, but my posting was at the smaller facility.
This person was very cheerful. It didnt take us long to be good friends. For that matter, he was such a person who was a friend of most of us. He was skinny but tall. He was dark but always carrying a smile on his face.
He was a good driver, but never had a licence. Later he told me the reasons for not having it. He hated paying bribes to policeman/RTO officers. It took him three chances to get a motorbike licence and first two times, his licence was rejected by quoting some silly reasons but the main reason was his refusal to bribe the RTO officers...
But then he got unwell. Severe backache. He was hospitalized for a month or so. When I went to see him, he had lost weight tremendously.
Later on, he told me that he had got cancer and then treatment started. In my view cancer is the deadliest and craziest disease. It doesnt kill you immediately. It kills you slowly. You can see yourself dying. Not only that. It is very expensive too. It will eat all your finances in the hope of saving the life of your loved ones. I am not saying the treatment doesnt work. It does. But many a times it doesnt.
So when he told me about his case, I immediately called up my sister, who is a doctor, asking her opinion on his case. She told me that it would be very difficult for him to survive more than few months with the disease reaching such a stage. But I didnt believe her. Because for me he was not the guy who can die so early. He was full of life. But I was wrong. She turned out to be right. After couple of weeks, I started seeing degradation in his health when I used to visit him. I dont know how could I have helped him and made him feel better.
But I feel he fought and lived his life to fullest till the time he could. He took a car from his brother and started driving to office. He was having crushes and used to discuss with us. He still used to enjoy moments/small pleasures which we forget to enjoy when we know everything is fine with us.
Just a few incidents I would quote. Initially I had a kind of promised him to watch a movie with him on some weekend. but somehow it didnt materialize.
Then one day while he was not well. He was coming to office. He was having crush on this girl. He came by company bus in which she also used to travel. but that day she didnt come :). So he was telling us about it with a big smile.
In his last few days, his voice was gone. He was whispering. In my last meeting, I went alongwith another colleague with me. We both were very sad after seeing him in pain. Then just few days later, he sent an SMS to all of us asking not to disturb him and let him be at peace.
After few days later, I recieved a call very early morning from his number. I was surprised, but it was not his voice. It was from his brother. He told me that he has expired and I was shocked even when I was knowing, its about to come.
I learned a lot from him. He had definitely influenced me to enjoy my life to fullest as it is too short.
I learned another thing. We normally dont value others in their presence. But once he/she is gone then we start realising their importance. We also dont tell them if we like them and once they are gone, then you dont get that chance again. Somehow this world values a person more after his death as after death people look only at positives of that person NOT negatives. Why cant we do that while the person is alive.
