Yes … now you have seen everything (well maybe not)

If you are not following the Hexaware story you are missing out. I mean first off congratulations to them, for setting two new benchmarks: 1/ biggest IPO's 2/ how not to recruit in 2024

“Personal life should be sorted with no baggage.” 🤯 Yep - That's in the job description. LISTED. I am not making it up 🤦‍♂️🤬

Are you serious??? The audacity to put that in a job description is absolutely breathtaking. I mean, next time IF I want to apply, should I include my therapist’s notes? Maybe I will throw in a notarised doc that I’ve never had a bad day in my life? Oh wait, maybe you want proof that I’ve never cried alone/ Had a bad breakup/ screamed mad at someone/ got yelled at.. in traffic. Seriously, Hexaware - WTF?

Here’s the real deal: everybody has baggage. Life is messy. Sh*t happens. Stress happens. Baggage gets auto delivered to your fate line. What can anyone do? And if you’re demanding a perfect, drama-free existence from your employees, you might as well pass me your dealers number. Boy! that stuff seems to be too good to ignore.

To the hiring manager who thought this was a smart idea - boy! you are the toast of the town today. And TRUST ME .. it's going to be the same for a loooooonnng time to come. Maybe you should take a good hard look in the mirror and ask "Who’s really got the baggage problem here?" Because it sure as hell isn’t the candidates.

But hey, lucky for you, people still need jobs. The love not reading the job description. They love hitting the "Easy Apply" button with zero baggage. Sending stupid sh*t vibes your way.

And PLEAASEE Dont worry about what the world says about your job post - you’ve got your "sorted" hires, right? PS: Can you repost - Naukri link is expired now. PS2: On a brighter side - you can always blame this on GPT writing your job description and hallucinating.

What’s your take?

Finally got a job (here's the do's and dont's)

Context: 10.5 YOE, Marketing lead. I've been looking for a switch since September last year. I'd seen signs of maybe my role or the company itself folding very early and knew 'twas time to bolt. But it's not that easy. Back then - 1 year...

Life is simple!

Being optimistic is one thing but this almost feels like saying "If you're homeless, just get a home".

I didn't get selected because... I have a happening life?

So I interviewed for a SaaS company serving US clients. I got selected after three rounds (basic email chat, built a project, technical coding round at last) and got selected.

Finally, it was time to discuss salary and joining date w...

Glad, that CEO let you live for a better opportunity

Name of the organisation? Considering you didn’t get selected it won’t hurt to share that

Don't react . Just move on. Don't need to work more than what you are being paid for.
