Me:Hello,is this Izee..
Female voice:Yes, it is,how can i help you?
Me:I read an ad in the paper about a vacancy in your firm
F-V:Plz be online, will tranfer the call to concerned person
A long music goes on and on...
Female 2:Hello, how may i help you?
Me:I read an ad in the paper about a vacancy in your firm
Female 2:Yes we do, whats your experience?
Me:3 months
F2:Great,whats your profile?
Me:HR Recruitment
F2:Ok.How soon can you join us?
Me:Immediately..
F2:We have certain conditions for employees
Me:Like?
F2:You would have to submit your original certificates with us and these would be returned
only after 4 months.You are not given any kind of leave for the first 3 months
Me:(Bullshit)...Leave criteria is fine, but not okay with the certificate episode
F2:Can you talk to the manager incharge and get things clarified?
Me:Sure, can you give me his number?
I make a note of the number and call up the esteemed manager
Me:Hi,is this Mr.X
He:Yes
Me:Hi,i am May here and i happened to read about a vacancy in your concern
He:Yes(and he goes on to mention the conditions for employees) and this is India's no.2 firm.
We are the best
Me:I am okie with it but due to personal reasons, i would be requiring a days leave
after a month
He:Days leave would be impossible to be given since we have leave policy applicable
Me:What would you do if an employee falls sick?Would you ask him to work inspite of his illness?
He:Is the way you talk to a manager?
Me:You are not my boss as yet
At this point i guess,the mighty manager of India's No.2 firm was infuriated and couldnot handle my question and said, "Why don't you find a job in your native?"
Is this the way a manager is supposed to talk to his candidates at the very first instance?Is it this kind of an attitude that makes Izee No.1?

loved reading your blog......I could not work with a boss like that. What a said character he is if he isn't even capable of answering any kind of questions. Who on earth would want to work under this conditions anyway?
