FIRST STEP IN “CORPORATE”

It was my second job, first being one with consultancy through campus recruitment…so there was no as such formal interview. My second interview was with an advertising company with the H.R. manager and final round with the M.D. of the co., me being a management student human resource was keen on the opening for HRdept but not having much corporate experience in HR, I was given an opening in marketing dept as it didn’t require much corporate exposure!!!

I was offered the post of client coordinator. I don’t know at that point of time, I didn’t think any thing and said 'yes' it was weird cos I never wanted marketing but then I thought lemme give it a shot…cos then, I thought, will get shift in H.R.

“Marketing” me had no cognizance what it is all about, was wondering how I will handle it---got my induction and I realized its interesting- all about selling products. Even there is no basic need my first job of client coordination was for ICICI Bank a big corporate’ me being novice used to give commitments which I tried fulfilling but in this corporate world –if you want something and expect others to help you then you are the biggest dodo so was I at that point of time… I suffered but later developed guileless personality that taught me the tactic of ‘ kaise client ko ghumana , aur batli mein utarna’---- one very important and basic thing you should know is “ If you cant convince them ( client ) confuse them”. This is very simple management mantra!!!! I applied it and trust me it works man. They (client ) will agree with you and after applying this I became the star performer of my organization without the back ground of marketing I made wonders (strange but it was true… not flaunting yaar)

But then the day came when my eagerly awaited shift in H R Dept was offered to me and I jumped out of my seat to go for it cos that’s what I wanted but people in my dept always wanted the star performer to come back but me happy being a H R Personnel interviewing candidates making policies and learning the perceptions, psychology of the employee….. But imagine if I would have stuck to marketing then my perception would permanently have been what………. A complete “Jholar”

Grazie,Tante Grazie (thanks, many thanks)
