How will I manage (.
God only knows.

That apart, life has been haunted by what I call evil hr practices in the corporate world. Wherein a company form looks like an autobiography, only if you are able to answer all the questions, bill Clinton would look like your secretary ( I mean all he did till college was have grass without inhaling, and possibly putting cigars to imaginative uses ).

Here is a sample of all that one needs to write. Mind you, all these are the 1st parts. Later you have to elaborate on how u felt and what u did and what would u do again in case the same thing happens.
An incident each in which :
You led a team on some path breaking stuff ( going to moon etc will do just fine )
You have taken some challenging task which stretched you, basically meaning that it made u move your ass a bit  ( this cannot be the same as 1st one )
You have changed the way in which your organization does something ( 90% of all CEO’s have never done this btw )
You have delivered something on a professional basis ( this is at least ok for people who worked)
Oh yeah and the favourite one – have you ever felt the pressure to compromise on your  values in a  work situation ( what the hell, I don’t have values which get compromised everytime I meet someone. Who are u looking for – raja harishchandra?? )

Yeah, then the pre placement talks. By now all companies sound the same to me, apart from the pay angle. Everyone is the fastest growing company in their sector, everyone is one of the best places to work by some survey or the other ( given enough surveys, u will find standard of living is higher in India than USA) , everyone has the best HR practices – the same ones which result in those questions btw. I almost forgot to mention the future leaders of the organization part ( we don’t hire employees, we hire future leaders, yeesh!)
The couple of ppt’s ( pre placement talks) I liked were those which dispensed with videos ( there is this new trend of videos in which employees are shown to be having fun, wtf are u hiring for – to take us to picnics?? ) and gave a point blank description of their jobs, and emphasized that they were not the company for a glamour job. I wish I get into one of them, calling a spade a spade has its own merits.

Little wonder, that almost all my desire to write has been killed due to the tons of introspection that I am having to do in order to fill these pieces of meaningless shit for most part.
