How to Correctly Apply to the Jobs in This Era?

Are you fresh out of college? Or maybe just bored with that job you took because your parents had suggested it in the first place? Or maybe that job you took was not what it seemed when you applied? Reaching out to companies and start-ups is a way out for a lot of these people. But maybe, just maybe having a great CV and using it to leverage attention isn’t such a great idea anymore.

Let’s be honest. A piece of paper that someone got from school/college does not predict his or her future. And more often it neither shows that person’s intent nor his/her passion. Internet, the great equalizer, has given us a new opportunity. Why Today's CMOs Should Transform Themselves into CDOs.

They feel if you use the start-up tag on your chest, you get attention. Attention from the government, your peers and obviously from investors. Clients are God, but I am an Atheist. To win the hearts of your clients, you need to win the hearts of your employees first. In my 25 years of experience, I have seen companies treating their clients as gods, and their employees as slaves. For such companies, it merely takes 24 hours to replace an employee. The Business Consulting Vs Agency Business. In 1970s & 1980s, Kolkata was the prime location for all big corporate/advertising agency headquarters. It boasted of being a great pool of talent and creativity. Gradually, the big clients shifted to Mumbai, and that made big marketing/advertising agencies shift their headquarters to Mumbai. Subsequently, the talent too shifted to Mumbai. Now over a period of time, all big advertising agencies in Kolkata have either closed shop or shifted, making Kolkata lose its charm and leaving it bereft of brilliant minds.

Now in the 20th century, I see all OEM, trading & manufacturing units’ headquarters moving towards Delhi. India needs a million of digitally skilled resources, and sadly, these are not being developed. The Business Consulting Vs Agency Business ( Cont. — Part 2) How April fool's Day Gave Birth To thedigitalfellow. This company was launched on the 1st of April. Just like we celebrate the day with practical jokes, that’s how I formed this company.

I was frustrated, felt cheated, taken for granted in the jobs I had been doing. That’s how it felt while working with my bosses. I felt they were playing a practical joke on me by running the company the way they were running, and the way they were treating me. The insults and humiliation were brutal. It’s this frustration that made me create thedigitalfellow. So now with Thedigitalfellow in full swing, I will celebrate this day for the rest of my life as the day I proved all those bosses wrong. So I laugh now as my company is the greatest practical joke those people will ever see. The company that is rude and rejects clients but is still bombarded with new qualified leads every day. The company that is running thanks to the culture of its employees and not sales targets. The Golden Ratio : Things you did not know about it.

Designers borrow from its study of perception and visuality, especially the theory that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. How an ebook can help you build your brand. Firstly, to create an eBook, an enormous amount of knowledge is required. Complex concepts are to be converted into something that is easy to digest for all. This is impossible to do if you don’t understand the concept thoroughly. Secondly, the sample size for any research going into deciding the content of the ebook needs to be much larger. Merely 10–20 lines of something you have newly written won’t help. To bring in seriousness and to actually give value, the knowledge and research has to go a long way.

Thirdly, the sample of people chosen for research have to be aware of the subject matter. For example, when doing research on a steel plant, one shouldn’t send to people a Google doc with a multiple choice questionnaire. Things to Learn From This Digital Fellow.
