Can I have your horoscope
It is not enough to have skills or attitude, now we even need to know your future !

Weird news to end the year !
Added later: Seems like people are really dumb to trust pseudo-science like astrology, graphology and even psychometric testing to influence hiring decisions.
Grow up people. Don't outsource your brains to nitwits or discredited tools.

nitwits?? isnt that a bit harsh?
ReplyDeletesome of the best companies in the town insist on academic performance as entry criteria, while they are headed by school dropouts.
One of your tribe(other HR consultant) in his blog, is seeking IIT/IIM grads _only_ for an opening, as if the rest of the folks out there are morons.
Who are we to deride other's tastes, beliefs & entry criteria??
well for me the difference in both these cases are easy and simple :-)
ReplyDeleteAn IIT/IIM grad has done it because of his/her effort , no matter how 'elitist' it sounds.
If a firm chose to select me on the basis of factors out of my control like the time of my birth, then they are nitwits !
The point worth considering here is that factors which are beyond the control of an individual should not influence hiring decision.
