HardBall
Well its recession and jobs have dried up. In India officially its a slowdown and the Jobs have dried up.
Somebody just turned off the tap. In this scenario I opened another office in Pune :-). And now I am desperately trying to add clients especially Pune based.
Since recruiting clients are difficult to come by the ones who are actually recruiting are in a position to negotiate the hell out of the recruiters.
In such an instance I agreed as a one off case at an extremely low rate since he offered many positions.
Well now I think he is using my rates to lowball someone else. And is refusing to share the mandates with me.
Should I tell him that these rates are valid only if we get positions right away.
Maybe I should..

Thou Shalt Not Touch
Mr NRN has this uncanny knack of putting his foot in the mouth.
Recently it was his statement regarding Satyam employees.details here .
He has such a great following and people hold him in such high esteem why come up with such needless statements.
One recalls his gaffe about the National anthem few months back.
Perhaps this was a senior moment. Considering he has done so much good - I guess these statements will be soon forgotten by people.

The pursuit of Happiness
Recently watched this great movie The pursuit of Happines Starring Will Smith and his son.
This movie is based on the true Life story of Chris Gardener who faced a tough time personally and professionally bringing up his son and holding on to his job.You can click here for the movie details.
The reason I felt it why I felt it relevant to mention in this blog is that one can learn a lot from the fighting spirit displayed by Chris in real life.His acceptance of the situation and just going ahead and giving whatever he has got. He has faced tremendous challenges in life to go on and achieve his current standing.
Coming from a poor background, being abused as a child, a black to top it all and he goes on to succeed in a Leading Brokerage firm - the very pundits of Finance.
In our search for the right job and while building a career in a good or bad economy - we might have to face a lot of challenges.Not every time will there be a reward at the end of performance, but one just has to keep slogging - giving it the best to be able to come out successfully.We go through life assuming that if we do this much we we are entitled to so much of earnings or incentives etc.But, real life is so different. Sometimes the rewards just dry up and that is when nature seperates the men from the boys & the women from the girls.So, Prepare yourself there are going to be tough times.
Definitely watch the film - its a huge inspiration.
