Nick Vujicic - A Great Motivator

On 30th of July 2010, we went to see Nick Vujicic show. Yes, after a long month waiting, I finally saw him and I am fortunate enough that I finally saw him personally. People who don’t know about Nick Vujicic, he is a great motivator and use to travel across the country to motivate the people of all the age level. He is not only an excellent motivator but also he is a great person with dashing personality. There are many motivators in this world but what uncommon between Nick Vujici and other motivators is that Nick Vujici doesn’t have arms and legs. Yes, he was born without arms and legs, interesting and sorry about him right but don’t be because he has done a lot of things in his life what other people have not done or feel scared to do even having their arms and legs. I saw number of his video before meeting to him and I get so inspire whenever I use to see his video and then I said earlier after a long month and year waiting I finally met him. And after meeting him, I got so emotional and inspired by his wording and thought and realized when he can do it why not I can and now I have more faith in GOD no matter what the situation is because GOD will always do something good for all of us and will always support us when we will keep on trying and have faith on him. We always use to say keep trying and have faith in God but sometime we get disappointed and always say why it’s happen or happening with me and then we start losing trust or losing faith on GOD which is true with everyone and it is true with me also. But by doing this entire unwanted thing nothing will come positive only thing we will continuously hurt our self and our body. So as per his word, we should keep trying, keep trying and so on and always have a big faith on God because its matter how you finish your race, are you going to finish it stronger or you will just give-up. So it’s very important to finish your work whatever you have in your hand even if you fall number of times but keep on trying because one day you will succeed and God will always help you to finish your task if we keep on trying. So never get discourage or disappointed and whatever the words starting with “DIS” always take in a positive way because even “DIS” mean “The (D) Inspiring (I) Stage (S)”, so never lose your heart and keep on trying –trying and have a faith in GOD. And also there is nothing impossible in this world even impossible has “I M Possible” word. People who are lazy will always find impossible word from possible task and people who are strong will always find possible things in impossible task also. So it just a matter of how you are seeing those things. But now, I think that whatever comes in your life we should always try it so that later we don’t have any regret of not doing that thing, so keep on trying whether you fail or pass. Really Nick Vujicic is not only a great motivator but also a good human being who always motivate and help the needy people and make people to believe in God and never lose our heart because life itself is very challenging and interesting, so its depend upon people how they want to play with their life whether they want challenging life who give lot of learning experience or monotonous life, so it’s just a way of seeing our life and never ever lose hope because hope is the bread for beggar.

Cherry Blosson

This time I am writing a blog on “Cherry Blossom”. On April 3rd 2010, I went to see Cheery Blossom in Washington DC, USA along with my family and friends. Though this was my second visit after coming to USA but this time I really enjoyed a lot. It was a great fun to visit and see the cheery blossom, which is one of the best festival celebrations in USA during spring time. Cherry Blossom is usually from cheery tree which was originated in USA during the year 1912 which was given by the Japanese people as a gift of friendship. Cherry Blossom is a big festival in Japan. So from 1912 to till date, cherry blossom is celebrated in USA with lots of great enthusiasms and enjoyment. Many people from all over the world come during Cherry Blossom in DC area to see and welcome the arrival of spring and to share the special season with each other. Blossom festival usually start from end of March and come to an end on mid April, so usually it’s for 3 week and 2nd week is the peak period of blossom.

Though it was a great fun but it was very rush as many people came over there to see the blossom as it was peak period time and also it was weekend, so no one want to miss this great festival of USA were all natural beauties are lying. So it was very hard to get parking and we have to wait for at least 1 hr to get parking slot empty. So if anyone who is going to watch Cherry Blossom in DC, it’s better to take a metro train instead of driving a car. But overall, the experience was very good to watch the natural beauty of earth. There were many other activities which were taking place during Cherry Blossom festival like orchestra, game shows, marriages etc. So it was a great enjoyment to see all these activities which were going on everywhere.

Importance of Human Resource Management

Today I am writing a blog on Importance of Human Resource Management. Although many people know what HR people do and what are their importance and how they work, how they act as a mediator between employee and employer etc. But the reason for writing this blog is that there are many people who still think that, what the role of HR and why they unnecessary exist in the organization. So in order to tell those people who still think that HR department is useless and never do anything for them, so for them I am writing this blog to let them know what actually HR people do and just like any other department, HR department also help the company to achieved its goal.

HR responsibility is very crucial and important for recruiting talent people, developing careers, keeping people motivated and building leaders, handling employee conflicts etc. HR people occupy a prime position in any organization, with effective processes for keeping talent, with open and honest relations with employees, trying to motivate them whenever they need. Every organizations have certain goals like to earn a lot of profits, want to have better product and services, innovative technology, better customer services and satisfaction when compare to their competitors, therefore HR people or department help the company to achieved its goal by recruiting the talented people who can perform all these tasks and can achieved organization goals. So HR department play an important part in any organization.

But many people think that and always make argument and always have discussion that HR as the force that forgot about people and does not take care of their employees, never give feedback on time in order to improve our self and even some people don’t know whether HR exist in the organization or not etc. So with all these attacks on HR's reputation, if your HR team is an impediment and never cares for you then upgrade them and when you decide that you are serious about the results you want, you do that i.e. go and ask them about your performance, your problems etc because until and unless you are not going to let them know, how they will come to know. In the meantime, a weak HR group is a great excuse for things that don't go the way you want.

HR people should also think that their role must be parallel the needs of the changing organization. Successful organizations are becoming more adaptable, resilient, quick to change directions, and customer-centered. Within this environment, the HR professional must learn how to manage effectively through planning, organizing, leading and controlling the human resource and be knowledgeable of emerging trends in training and employee development. So just involve every employee and follow as a individual approach rather than collective approach and let employee know that you really care for them and how important as a HR we are to them.

Recommendation to Follow Up with the Candidates

The most important problem for any of the company’s is to be in touch with the entire candidate who are currently not fit for the company but at the later stage it may possible that they can be the best fit for them as per the company requirement. So in that case company should always be in touch with the candidates, so that whenever they have any opening for them they are always be ready to accept the offer because if the company’s are in touch with the candidate on the regular bases, the candidates will always have a good impression about the company and it may also create a positive word mouth to other people. Therefore the company should never think or take in a light way if the candidates are not selected for a position then it’s better to leave them. Below are the some of the recommendations which company should follow in order to be continuously in touch with the candidates.

1) Whenever receiving a resume from any of the candidate, drop a thank you mail to them immediately even if job is not matching with the candidate profile.

2) If the resume is up to the company job requirement then be in touch with the candidate and tell them your resume are in the process and try to be in touch with them continuously, so that they cannot look for other company and can have a feeling about the company that they are interested on me which indirectly create a good image of the company in candidate mind.

3) If resume is not matching with the job requirement, then send a mail to the candidate and also try to call them and let them know that the position is not matching up with your profile and will contact you when ever any position matching with your profile. It’s better to contact the candidate through phone in order to have a brief background of a candidate, like what kind of jobs they are handling and what particular position they are looking, which ultimately can help the company in a near future to contact those candidate any time even if the job is not matching with them. By doing this it may possible that the candidate can provide a good referral to the company.

4) The resume which are initially selected from the company side but got rejected at the time of interview, try to call them instead of dropping a mail and tell them they had found a good match but if something new position will match with your profile then we will contact you . Also send them a thank you mail for showing interested in their company.

5) If candidate join the company that’s good but those candidate whose resume got rejected initially or at the time of interview, it’s very important to be in touch with them as most of the time, company don’t follow with those candidate and then occur a huge communication gap. So it’s better for the company to have a regular contact with those candidates.

6) Whenever candidate post their resume through job search engine, try to create a tool which can make the candidate to post their resume by going through the company job site and at the end of posting their resume try to create an option whether they want any updated news, blogs or positions which are going with the company or not. By doing this, whenever the company has any updated things and positions it will directly go the candidate email and in this way the candidate can also know what’s going with the company and always has some knowledge about company and its work culture which can create marketing for the company.

7) The candidate who came for the interview for any position, try to send them a thank you mail on the same day.

8) As now a day’s social networking sites are playing a very important role both professionally as well as personally, so in that case company’s should always try to connect or add as much as the candidate in the network like whose resume are there in the databank, the candidate whose resume are coming through referral or the candidate who came for the interview in the social networking site. By doing this, the candidate would always be in touch with the company.

9) If possible try to send holiday/festival message or greeting to the candidate especially to the good candidates, this is the better way to convey the message to the candidate and be in touch.

10) Make contact with them frequently and engage them in discussion to understand their current situation, what would motivate them to move, etc.

11) Most of the time it happens that the employee who has left the company, organization are not in touch with that employee. Therefore employee who has already worked here and somehow they have left the company, try to be in touch with them on regular bases because it may possible that either the ex-employee can join the company in a near future or they can provide a good referral to the company.

12) Be timely: The few companies that do follow-up with candidates oftentimes wait way too long to inform the candidate that they didn’t get the job, never do that. Don’t make people wait or anticipate a job they are not going to get. If you know after the first interview the candidate is not right for the job, send a regrets letter immediately. It is very awkward situation but the candidate will appreciate it immensely.

13) Most of the company try to post the positions in advance which they are going to have in a near future, so that once the position get open, the company don’t have to wait for the resume, they already received resumes from the candidates and can contact with them immediately. So if the position is going to open after a long time after a date of posting, first send thank you mail and then don’t wait for the candidate thinking that once the positions are open then only we will contact to the suitable candidate. Try to be in regular touch and tell them their resumes are in the process. So by doing this, it may have chances that the candidate will be still interested for the particular position and the company can also have up to date information about how much candidate is interested for particular positions. Because if candidate are interested in a job then possibility would be that they are going to join the company instead of the candidate who has least interest. Therefore it’s very important for the company to be in touch with the candidate even if the positions are going to open in a near future. The other advantage of doing this is that many times its happen candidate don’t remember for the position which they have applied and for which company, so it’s very necessary in that case to be always in touch with the candidate when positions are going to open after a long time.

14) If possible try to send a birthday mail to the excellent candidate to whom the company can think that this type of candidate will always be better fit for the company. It will definitely create a better reputation of a company in front of candidate mind as they will think; company is not only concern for their internal employees but also concern for an external people.
