Have you considered starting your own business?
When you attend any job interview, there
are instances where the interviewer tries to find this out. There may
not be a problem if it's a large/medium sized company, but it matters a
lot for a startup/small size company. Because too much enthusiasm in
answering “yes” could rouse the paranoia of a small company indicating
that you may plan to go out on your own soon, perhaps taking some key
accounts or trade secrets with you. On the other hand, if you answer
“no, never” you could be perceived as a security-minded drone who never
dreamed big. So understand the company's culture/retention policy before
you answer this kind of a question.
Recently, in one interview, an
interviewer asked me "tell me how you dealt with the situation when your
work was criticized"... I couldn't reply in a proper way. Please
suggest how to tackle such interview questions. - Jaahnavi, Noida
Ans: It's to test how well you accept
criticism, direction and admit your weakness. It's also to test how you
handle criticism at the work place. Remember no one is perfect and we
all commit mistakes at some point or the other. Admitting it and
learning from it makes us different and unique from others. Tell them
that you like to learn from mistakes and are welcome to suggestions for
improvement. Given an example of the early days of your career just to
demonstrate, what or how you learnt from your mistakes and improved. If
you are pressed for a criticism from a recent position, choose something
fairly trivial that in no way is essential to your successful
performance. Mention that you have learned from this, too and over past
several years/months. Be careful, the interviewer may not hire if
someone reacts in a bad manner to criticism or someone who takes it as a
personal attack.
You can tell them: "If there is any
constructive criticism then I generally welcome it. I love the work
which I do, I always appreciate if someone is giving constructive
criticism or feedback; especially those who want to see me grow in all
aspects."
Sir, I am pursuing my final year degree.
I wanted to work in the security industry. But many of my friends are
suggesting against choosing that field, so please advice. - Srikanth, Nalgonda
Ans: When you're interested to work in
security, do not look back. Just follow your interests. Lot of qualified
students underestimate or give less importance to Private Security. You
can try in the State/Central Police Department or start your career in
Private Security itself. There are several positions including
Managerial cadre for qualified aspirants like you. Do not entertain
de-motivating comments from your friends. There is a company called RJ
Security Services started recently by the retired senior police officers
in Hyderabad. They do provide free training and placements to the
desired aspirants. Their objective is to utilise their past experience
and skills for training eligible youth and providing well trained and
efficient people to various organisations / institutions or anybody who
requires them for legal reasons. You can send your application to
contact@rjsecurityservices.in and get their appointment to discuss in
person.
