Book excerpt: Being in a professional industry, hiring the right people for the job was the biggest challenge we used to face each day. During these days (and even now), I have hired close to 7000 people for various jobs over a period of 25+ years and continue to do so. Making decision on hiring someone is a big decision. It can make or break someone's career and life, but yet you have to take a rationale decision without bringing emotions into play basis what's right for the job and also what's right for the individual.I have met so many candidates, some just out of college, some with few years of experience. I could see their eyes radiate with hope and expectations while at the same time they had the fear of how they will fare at the interview. Most of the time the fear took over the better part of them and it became more aggravated when they could not answer a question. The second challenge I faced was nurturing the hired persons to perform to their job's expectations, guiding them through the years, ensuring customers' expectations are met while making sure their careers progress. Identifying skills that need improvement, or lacking, providing training to upgrade those skills, giving on the job guidance, etc etc. And then the third challenge comes when the person wants to leave and take another job. Some would state personal reasons, many would say better prospects and most of the time it felt to be an impulsive decision based on some short-term gains. Yet providing them the right guidance, ensuring that our customer services are impacted minimal at the same time guiding them to see that they are taking the right step of leaving and joining some other place.During all these challenges, the biggest challenge that we as managers faced was to strike the right balance without bias between the job as a manager to deliver the right results for the company and to give the right nurturing, guidance and career progression to our team members.Every time I used to make a hiring decision, or provide guidance to my team or have the difficult discussion around a person leaving, there was only one question that always came to my mind"What can I do to ease the process of transition from campus to a corporate world for fresh graduates, how can I nurture their careers such that they can grow faster and in a planned manner, how can I help them make their career decisions more effectively."During this process over 3 decades, I underwent a lot of learning and again only one question came back to me again and again. " I wished I had known this before when I started my first job.".You are now making a transition from your Campus to the Corporate World. The Campus prepared you for today, and the Corporate will provide you an environment to achieve your dreams. This book is an attempt to guide you early on, on what to expect, how to deal with various situations, how to build alignment to your job, your manager, your mentor and achieve your dreams faster and with lesser conflicts.This book is for those who want to Standout instead of just fit-in.I hope you enjoy reading this book, but more importantly imbibing the learning slowly but firmly.Thank YouMy Binoculars
