10 Golden Rules for Office Communication:

Avoid addressing your client, senior or employer with 'Hey'. It is considered inappropriate and disrespectful. Last week, a Reddit user shared a screenshot of his WhatsApp conversation with his boss. The Reddit user, Shreyas, was pulled up for greeting his boss with a 'Hey' on WhatsApp messenger. According to the post which went viral, when asked by his boss if he had submitted a test, Shreyas replied, 'Hey, no. Not yet.' His boss apparently took offence at the casual greeting responding: 'Please don't use the word 'hey'. It's offensive for me.' 'If you can't remember my name, simply use 'Hi',' the boss said. With a majority of professionals either working from home, from a remote location or in a hybrid work-set up there is a major scope of miscommunication while working and coordinating with colleagues over message or mail.

An increasing number of hiring managers are opting for video conferencing platforms to know the candidates. The past couple of years have changed the dynamics and functionality norms of almost all sectors. Right from the execution of tasks to management of workers and even HR activities, the 'new normal' is far different from what it used to be. The paradigm has shifted and industries are adapting new ways of conducting business. Here are some trends we have noticed in the recruiting space this year: 1.

FEEDBACK Is LEARNING:

Every time someone gives you feedback, ask yourself: What can I learn from this feedback? Feedback is not advice, praise, or evaluation. Neither is feedbacking a method to vent one's frustration on another. The true purpose of feedback is to create a positive change to help an individual move towards their goals. Giving and receiving feedback is a critical activity in any relationship. In a professional environment, the quality of feedback determines the quality of the culture of an organization. While the outcome is to create positive change, sometimes the way feedback is given could be negative. The elements of negative feedback could be the tone or the content of the feedback. Here are 7 ways to deal with negative on unpleasant criticism: 1. Don't be defensive Don't be in a defensive or rebuttal mode when you receive negative feedback. If you get defensive or argumentative, it only takes the emotions high, and intelligence comes down when emotions go high. Hear the feedb...

REVEALED! What Recruiters Look For:

Remember, anyone can make two plus two four. But if you can make two plus two five, you will be adding value. When good military commanders like German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel (known as the 'Desert Fox' as he was very clever) or General George S Patton of the US army reconnoitered the forward positions they always looked at their own defences from the enemy's point of view. It is based on this understanding and analysis that they planned their strategy and tactics for the day. Similarly, when you appear for your first interview, you must have a thorough understanding of the people/panelists/organisation you will be facing. Unlike in a war situation, the interviewer/recruiter is neither your enemy nor your adversary. But when you are sitting on the opposite sides of a table, the panel members are consciously gauging your every move, trying to understand if you are the best fit for the job. If you can broadly understand what these senior professionals are looking for in a ...
