Career Tips - A Controlled Workaholic

Clockwork!

No social outings, no workouts, no time for the family and no time for yourself. It's lacklustre. The sparkle in life disappears when you have nothing to look forward to, nothing but your work to think about. Workaholism has reached epidemic proportions and its alarming repercussions can turn "Karoshi' (Japanese for death and suicide from overwork) for Bangladeshis too.

With technology hooking up home, the possibility of working round the clock is just about annihilating the home experience.

Career Tips - Dont Lost your Savor

Avoid being a victim of downsizing, upgrade yourself.

It’s just like an outdated product in a department store. When you are no longer a product in demand, and obsolescence stares you in the face, you have no choice but to give in. Being downsized or laid-off is a common feature in today’s workplace.The accelerated pace of technology has changed business processes and so demand professionals who can handle these implications become necessary.

Persons who are not alert to the subtle changes face the danger of being thrown out of work. This is more so in the IT industry where only the fittest and the fastest can survive the onslaught of obsolescence in technology.

What professionals need to know about communication skills

Yawn! Boring speeches and it is time for you to catch up on some daydreaming. Wishing that the speaker had better communication skills, you gaze unhappily out of the window, a faraway look in your eyes! Or it could be a colleague who is blissfully unaware of the grammar faux pas he is committing and highlighting his ignorance.

Either way, lack of communication skills impedes progress and tarnishes the image of an individual. Studies reveal that persons possessing powerful communication skills stand a better chance of being successful and have an easier climb up the corporate ladder. (In simple words, present yourself the ‘gift of the gab).

Career Tips - Winds of change

Winds of change!

Monday morning…blues at work, you wake up feeling lousy. Hurry, scurry and you finally make it to office half an hour late!

You just seem to be settling down when you are summoned. Your boss wants you to do the project no one else wants and there’s no way out of it. This was the last thing you wanted to happen, “I’m just beginning to settle down” you groan. It gets to you, and it’s no good complaining!

Everyone hates unwelcome change, especially when it’s foisted upon them without warning.

Career Tips - Success at the earliest

The making of an elite young company-be an early success story! 

Success at the earliest! 

A band of go-getters who let nothing stand in the way. ‘Age no bar’ is the axiom, the consequence- a breed of young achievers, an age when prodigies abound! Few realize that there’s more to it and merely achieving is not enough.

What goes into the making of this elite young company?

A vibrant personality
To join the ranks of a manager you need to spruce up your self. A spring in your step and a warm and friendly disposition is better than a standoffish manner.

Communication - A must for success

Communication and self-promotion is as important as the skill you possess

Rihom's interview seemed to have gone just fine. He appeared to have presented his skills competently to the General Manager (finance). His resume indicated that he was the right person for the job. Yet he was not selected for the post of finance manager. So what happened? According to the GM, Rihom was quiet and rather withdrawn. He failed to show any kind of interest towards the prospective job. As a result company finally chose someone with less talents, but more enthusiastic and confident. The moral of the story; communication and self-promotion is as important as the skill you possess. 

The first thing an employer looks for is the ability of the potential candidate to communicate effectively and enthusiastically. Here are some tips on how to improve your communication skills.
