I write about careers, skills and the world of work. The cartoons and sketches are mine.
Tiger, grief, job-decoders and gigs
If you are a corporate leader (as I know so many of my readers are), pay for a few extra summer interns this year to work for an NGO. It will give NGOs access to a talent pool they would not have usually. Think about it.
Challenges, revenge bedtime and costs
A ‘Dreamer’ is inspired by complex problems. To solve the impossible, is a leadership trait.
Types, Fonts, Rifts and Charts
Pro tip: After you make the charts, pause to annotate them. Think of them as a whisper in the ear of the decision maker.
Resume, Laxman, Time & Dreamers
A resume is an outline of what you are and does not list down all details of a profile, but showcases specific skills customised to the target job.
Watermelons, book covers & 4 year olds
Old timers in every organisation resent the big bucks that their employer is willing to pay when they bring in external hires. It is much more effective to invest in growing your own talent.
