A brilliant interview

Posted by Santosh kumar at 02:32 | Friday, March 16. 2012 | Comments (12) | Trackbacks (0)

Some, rather most organizations reject his CV today because he has changed jobs frequently (10 in 14 years). My friend, the ˜job hopper™ (referred here as Mr. JH), does not mind it. well he does not need to mind it at all. Having worked full-time with 10 employer companies in just 14 years gives Mr. JH the relaxing edge that most of the ˜company loyal™ employees are struggling for today. Today, Mr. JH too is laid off like some other 14-15 year experienced guys “ the difference being the latter have just worked in 2-3 organizations in the same number of years. Here are the excerpts of an interview with Mr. JH:

Q: Why have you changed 10 jobs in 14 years?

A: To get financially sound and stable before getting laid off the second time.

Q: So you knew you would be laid off in the year 2009?

A: Well I was laid off first in the year 2002 due to the first global economic slowdown. I had not got a full-time job before January 2003 when the economy started looking up; so I had struggled for almost a year without job and with compromises.

Q: Which number of job was that?
A: That was my third job.

Q: So from Jan 2003 to Jan 2009, in 6 years, you have changed 8 jobs to make the count as 10 jobs in 14 years?

A: I had no other option. In my first 8 years of professional life, I had worked only for 2 organizations thinking that jobs are deserved after lot of hard work and one should stay with an employer company to justify the saying ˜employer loyalty™. But I was an idiot.

Q: Why do you say so?

A: My salary in the first 8 years went up only marginally. I could not save enough and also, I had thought that I had a ˜permanent™ job, so I need not worry about ˜what will I do if I lose my job™. I could never imagine losing a job because of economic slowdown and not because of my performance. That was January 2002.

Q: Can you brief on what happened between January 2003 and 2009.

A: Well, I had learnt my lessons of being ˜company loyal™ and not ˜money earning and saving loyal™. But then you can save enough only when you earn enough. So I shifted my loyalty towards money making and saving “ I changed 8 jobs in 6 years assuring all my interviewers about my stability.

Q: So you lied to your interviewers; you had already planned to change the job for which you were being interviewed on a particular day?

A: Yes, you can change jobs only when the market is up and companies are hiring. You tell me “ can I get a job now because of the slowdown? No. So one should change jobs for higher salaries only when the market is up because that is the only time when companies hire and can afford the expected salaries.

Q: What have you gained by doing such things?

A: That's the question I was waiting for. In Jan 2003, I had a fixed salary (without variables) of say Rs. X p.a. In January 2009, my salary was 8X. So assuming my salary was Rs.3 lakh p.a. in Jan 2003, my last drawn salary in Jan 2009 was Rs.24 lakh p.a. (without variable). I never bothered about variable as I had no intention to stay for 1 year and go through the appraisal process to wait for the company to give me a hike.

Q: So you decided on your own hike?

A: Yes, in 2003, I could see the slowdown coming again in future like it had happened in 2001-02. Though I was not sure by when the next slowdown would come, I was pretty sure I wanted a ˜debt-free™ life before being laid off again. So I planned my hike targets on a yearly basis without waiting for the year to complete.

Q: So are you debt-free now?

A: Yes, I earned so much by virtue of job changes for money and spent so little that today I have a loan free 2 BR flat (1200 sq.. feet) plus a loan free big car without bothering about any EMIs. I am laid off too but I do not complain at all. If I have laid off companies for money, it is OK if a company lays me off because of lack of money.

Q: Who is complaining?

A: All those guys who are not getting a job to pay their EMIs off are complaining. They had made fun of me saying I am a job hopper and do not have any company loyalty. Now I ask them what they gained by their company loyalty; they too are laid off like me and pass comments to me “ why will you bother about us, you are already debt-free. They were still in the bracket of 12-14 lakh p.a. when they were laid off.

Q: What is your advice to professionals?

A: Like Narayan Murthy had said “ love your job and not your company because you never know when your company will stop loving you. In the same lines, love yourself and your family needs more than the company's needs. Companies can keep coming and going; family will always remain the same. Make money for yourself first and simultaneously make money for the company, not the other way around.

Q: What is your biggest pain point with companies?

A: When a company does well, its CEO will address the entire company saying, ˜well done guys, it is YOUR company, keep up the hard work, I am with you. But when the slowdown happens and the company does not do so well, the same CEO will say, It is MY company and to save the company, I have to take tough decisions including asking people to go. So think about your financial stability first; when you get laid off, your kids will complain to you and not your boss.

Must Read ! Very Powerfully Worded. Bravo - Prakash Bajaj, Editor of
Times of India .
LETTER OF THE EDITOR OF "THE TIMES OF INDIA " TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA

I am born and brought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me, corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar . Look at all the politicians, Sharad Pawar, Chhagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief ministers I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi , so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fishermen, so they can build concrete houses right on sea shore. Next time terrorists can comfortably live in those houses, enjoy the beauty of the sea and then attack our Mumbai at their will.
Recently, I had to purchase a house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30 to 40% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligence agency & CBI, you and your finance ministers are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld, isn't it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything..

If this has been a land of fools, idiots, then I would not have ever cared to write to you this letter. Just see the tragedy. On one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent; and on the other side, you politicians irrespective of parties have converted nectar into deadly poison.I am everything - Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Scheduled Caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Scheduled Caste, and Creamy Scheduled Caste; only what I am not is INDIAN. You politicians have raped every part of Mother India by your policy of divide and rule.
Take example of our Former President Abdul Kalam. Such an intelligent person; such a fine human being. But you politician didn't even spare him and instead choose a worthless lady who had corruption charges and murder charges against her brother insignificant local politician of Jalgaon WHO'S NAME ENTIRE COUNTRY HAD NOT HEARD BEFORE. Its simple logic your party just wanted a rubber stamp in the name of president. Imagine SHE IS SUPREME COMMANDER OF INDIA 'S THREE DEFENCE FORCES. What morale you will expect from our defence forces? Your party along with opposition joined hands, because politicians feel they are supreme and there is no place for a good person like Abdul Kalam.
Dear Mr Prime minister, you are one of the most intelligent person, a most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost, expose all selfish politicians. Ask Swiss banks to give names of all Indian account holders. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolves among us. There will be political upheaval, but that will be better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambience where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.
Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person, or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?
Prakash B. Bajaj
Editor Mumbai-Times of India
PLEASE READ N FORWARD TO AS MANY PEOPLE IN YOUR CONTACT LIST..............

sun is in the water, he is away in the sky and not in the water. Similarly,
Atma is as much as it is seen, it is beyond all that and not limited by it."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"The Atma (Spirit) resides inside this heart and after Sahaja Yoga its

and it is His grace which is going to make you a supreme human being in Sahaja

heart within and enjoy that Love. With that Love you elevate and once more rise
to greatness."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"We do not know our potential, our beauty, but once this connection with
the mains is established you will be surprised at the results and the dynamism.
Through our love we can absorb the defects of others and cleanse them. This is
the power of Love. So far we have never used the power of Love."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"You cannot make your Kundalini pulsate with your mind. The Divine, if it
has to do something, it must be extra-ordinary which human beings cannot do. To
pulsate Kundalini is only possible for the Divine. It is a living force."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"A spiritual person is just innocent, just innocent. Whatever he talks or
says comes through innocence. It just says what it knows and what it knows is
the highest."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"God is infinite. You don't have to count His aspects. You want to enjoy
Him. The wise simply eat the fruit, they do not count the leaves, roots and
branches."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"It is very important to understand that without transformation you have
no meaning. Whatever you are, do not identify yourselves with that, but
whatever you want to be, try to be that."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"Spirit
is the only thing that is at the center, and at the periphery if you look at
things, they look as if they are separate and different. But if you can
approach somehow into that state where your Spirit resides, you will be amazed
to see that everything integrates, everything coordinates, and there is no
difference. Say, in Mohammed Sahib, Dattatreya, Raja Janaka or Shirdi Sai Nath
— there is no difference in their principle if you can just get your
Spirit."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"Until you are able to understand the meaning of the "Self", the
physical body would remain imperfect and would be unable to verify the Truth.
But once the physical instrument is connected with Truth, you are able to
verify the Truth."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"When you become one with the Spirit all your problems will be solved. A
realised person never talks in first person. He becomes separate from himself
leaving aside his desires, his materialistic ideas."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"Meditation is nothing but the state of remaining in the constant company
of the every-loving Bhagawati."

[Bhagawati is the Primordial/Divine Mother]

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"The essence of all religions is to find the eternal."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"In Sahaja Yoga, you have to understand one simple thing, that you are the
Spirit and whatever is not the Spirit is not yourself."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"God has created man with his Shakti and man has to know Him, and
recognize Him through Kundalini awakening. Blossom Time has come and many
ancient seekers are today getting their Self-Realisation."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"The object of Sahaja Yoga is basically to become and experience the
spiritual Self."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"It's
the culture of God, we are talking about, it's the culture of His kingdom where
we give to others, enjoying, giving, doing for others, loving others, caring
for others without any return."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"The only thing where you can really hide yourself is the love of God;
where you can really get the great restful, blissful feeling of His complete
protection."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"If in one lifetime you can achieve Self-Realization and you reach the
point of having begun to lose your habits, then in that very lifetime, it is
possible for you to acquire that so called State. An established Sahaja Yogi is
the one who becomes completely one with God and wins Him over."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

"This is the Last Judgment. Remember, God will not bow before you. You
have to accomplish Him in your own freedom. If you have not achieved Him it is
not His fault nor is it of Sahaja Yoga."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

...What sweetness, what beauty that knowledge has given them, and what
security of understanding that everywhere in the whole world we have
brothers and sisters who are on their inner being, on their divine, and
how we are bound together with that love. When I talk of love, people
think that I am trying to make you weak people - because people think
those who love are weak. But the most dynamic power in this world is
that of love. Is the most aggressive power - is that of love. Even when
we suffer, in love, it is out of our strength that we suffer and not out
of our weakness. ...

The love that I am talking about - the divine love - makes you not only
strong but dynamic. It is the greatest luminous power that we can think
of. Only when love is surrounded by gross, and is lost in the gross, it
looks as if it is weak and under chains. The time it is released, the
dynamic power of love can transcend all the evil powers of the world.

When people get their realization, automatically the ego drops out - to a
great extent I should say. Because, you say that the vibrations are
passing; you don’t say that you are giving them. Because the dropping of
the ego sometimes it happens that you feel that whatever you wanted to
have you have got it, and you better not talk about it. When there is
any opposition from anywhere, you shun it and sit away from it. You
don’t want to face the opposition of any negative opposition - whether
it is by speech or by… even by evil methods. We run away from that
thinking, “Oh God! How are we going to face it?” On the contrary a
person who is negative, who has got hatred ... starts talking big. He
thinks he is above everybody else, he can befool all the world; He takes
a responsibility on himself. He starts a big ashram or some big place
where he sits down with all his ignorance and starts spreading his
knowledge - the so called - to people. By his methods people get
impressed and they all go and fall at his feet.

While the realized sits at home quietly wondering, “What are these fools
doing?” But, it is not now for the realized to sit down and to wonder
and laugh at the foolishness of the people who are not yet realized. Not
even to take pity on them, but to come out, come out with the sword of
love to win the whole world. It is very very essential. If the creation
has to be saved, then you are not to keep mum about it. All the wrong
ideas about love, all the falsehood about love, has to be given up. One
must know that it is the dynamic power. And it won’t allow you to sit
comfortably with yourself, enjoying the peace and the bliss, when the
rest of the world is not enjoying that and is playing into the hands of
the evil geniuses who have come in this world to destroy and to bring
the satanic realm on this earth. ...

Now the days are gone when the people had to suffer. Christ suffered for
us. Of course, Christ never suffered, because He never suffered. He
never wept. He was like those cocks, a very powerful personality. But
today is the day to brighten up your understanding about your own
strength that is within you. Those who are gross should worry about
their insecurities and their problems and their organizations - but not
for the people who are realized. I have told you many a times and today
he also remarked that you should know you are never alone when you are
realized. There have been many people who have been realized, before
even you were born, who exist, who are anxious to help you at every
moment. In our shastras (scriptures) we call them Chiranjivas (eternal beings), you know them. They are people who are Niranjanas, as he said about Bhairava and Hanumana. All these people exist and they are waiting just for a call from you. ...

Oh! We tried and tried and tried, in different lives. Nothing worked.
And now it is going to click like a spark. The chain reaction will
start. But we have to have strong machines to carry that. Otherwise the
fuse will be off. Only the strength that is in you is to be felt by your
attention. That’s the only thing you have to do - is to feel your
attention and give up all that is falsehood. All that is falsehood - you
see within yourself and you will know what is falsehood and you just
drop it. Accept only the truth, and the truth will give you that power
to be the real instrument, to carry this channel, that force of love.
...

The complete power ... will flow through your Sahasrara, inside your
being, and completely revolve around your whole being and transform the
inside into a complete Chaitanya Shakti,
a complete divine power. Allow it to come in, accept it. Accept it
without any fear. Let it get in. Every moment, every moment keep awake.
It’s a very precarious time that we are up to. I have only two hands you
can see that very clearly. ... I can do everything but not to make you
do something. Your will, will be respected throughout. Every other thing
can be looked after except for one - that you should be a perfect
machine, a perfect channel, a perfect flute for my lord to play that
tune of love. It is for you to clear out all your seven holes. It is for
you to clear out your hollowness and to be complete within yourself and
He knows his job. He is the artist. But you are the instruments. And
the harmonious music from so many souls can fill the ears of these evil
people and can penetrate into their heart and put love into them and may
be that they themselves will give up their evil ways and fall at the
feet of love.

Krishna is to be born within you today. A five-year-old boy went to kill
Kalia. That Krishna is to born within you. Went and sat on the Kalia’s
Sahasrara and was pressing with His feet and all the people were seeing
this great drama of Krishna’s dancing on the Kalia’s Sahasrara. Krishna
is to be born within your being. When you are Krishna, you are not going
to see me. Let us now go to the state, which is beyond words, beyond
thoughts, into the realm of thoughtless awareness where the Divine is
pouring its blessings. These people have decided today to have a puja,
and you know what happens to me when you do my puja. So with all those
problems that will be facing later, I would like all of you to be
attentive about the puja and to take full advantage of that. With this
puja you get the Mother’s protection, to begin with. And my chakras,
when they start moving, they give you special powers of love and bless
all your chakras and fill them up completely. So I would like you,
though some two people are coming to do this, all of you to feel that
you all are doing it - and you can feel it that way with oneness. And
the blessings of my being will flow to you automatically.
