Career Gyan!



This one's for the young ambitious turks just getting out of college. So many different job profiles out there, which one's what? Presenting a brief synopsis of the "hot" profiles in the market:

Consultant: A friend goes to him asking for a lollypop. He goes to the nearest mom & pop store, buys a lollypop, giftwraps it, gives it to his friend and charges for lollypop, freight charges and gift wrapping costs.

Financial Analyst: A friend asks him how to make money. He tells his friend to give one room in his house to him. Then, he rents out that room, pockets the 70% of rent, gives a miniscule share to his friend and charges him for the financial services rendered.

Logistics/Supply Chain: Tries to figure out how many trucks are there, where they are, what they are carrying & whether they have sufficient permits or not.

IT professional: A friend asks him to develop an application for a logic. The friend tells the logic. He goes to http://www.google.com, keys in the requirement & types what he gets. In case any problems arise, it is called a 'software bug'.

Project Manager: His friend asks him to construct a building. He calls up a contractor, arranges a meeting of his friend with the contractor & disagrees to work both with the design that his friend wants & the rates that the contractor asks for. Ultimately, the construction gets delayed, design is faulty and costs much higher than what the contractor wanted!

Enough blabbering about profiles now. I still wonder abt one thing: Bangalore is so cool (climate, I mean) & Saharanpur so hot. Then why do people in Bangalore have so much melanin & those in Saharanpur seem to lack it!?? Much has been said about generations of evolution, yet ...

Meant to be a "tricky" euphemism! Skin deep seems to be another one of a higher order!
