Often called as land of biggest democracy and hypocrisy,
India is a place of surprises. My topic is directed towards Human Resource
managers working in India who seldom tends to forget what punctuality is. Strangely,
they are the one who checks on the punctuality of employees in their respective
organization.
I wish to tell an incident that happened with me almost a
year ago when I was in an organization waiting for the HR to conduct my
interview. I had 4 more mates who were waiting with me and believe me the wait
lasted really long. Our interview was scheduled at 12:00pm; but may be the HR
who was suppose to conduct the interview thought 12:00pm to be 3:00pm. Reason
can be numerous or rather I would call them excuses, but it did give a bad
impression on us. HR was seen floating
around in the office doing nothing, but still we were asked to wait. And
believe me this scenario, may be more worst or less grave is prevalent almost
everywhere. Candidate keeps on waiting, but his or her interview never starts
on time.
Being unemployed does not in any way indicates that one has
all the leisure time in world. I was
discussing this topic with one of my friend who apparently returned from
Florida competing is post-graduation. He was not shocked because he knew how
things work in India. But, it was inspiring when my friend told me that how in
U.S, HR are extremely professional and courteous towards interviewee. He told
me that he visited a manufacturing head office for internship and how their HR
came down the building to take him up and apologized to him for being 10
minutes late. Strangely, the same Indians who do not respect time in their own
country tend to become very professional abroad.
Certainly, a food for thought.
