<br />Dear,
It's rediculous if someone endeavors to disgrace the others. Still, perhaps the attitude of interviewing people is not aimed at the disgrace of the candidate, specially in the CA firms.
Unfortunately, students at the stage, where you are, do not and cannot estimate / anticipate the days coming ahead. The practical life is a bit harder and tougher than what we imagine at an early phase of life.
Further, we are from a nation which need not to think for any developments, improvements or research work. Our all efforts are to find a way out to the bread and butter for the rest of life. I wonder how the people of other nations spend all of their lives searching something new in various jungles and islands where they have to live with monkies even. I wonder how people of other nations work with dirty snakes, birds, animals and other stuff like that at far off places from the luxurious life of homes for the improved life of general mankind. There must be a reason behind the fact that they are ruling the world at the moment.
Our students (including myslef) are always thinking on what will be the best way to get financial benefits from doing anything in the shortest possible time for the safety of our future.
I come back to the subject matter. Whenever a student gets into a firm for interview or whatever, I have experienced, he/she is either a very shy candidate or is an over-smart candidate. No body likes a candidate who seems to be shy one and who cannot properly present his qualities due such so-called shyness. Likewise, over smart people are normally pushed to the corner. This situation appears to has been in vogue for decades and resultantly has made the people somewhat harsher than what is actually required.
Moreover, as a third nation we also have a big problem with our attitudes which is not seen by us. If some assistant has a good english accent, his/her superior will not feel good about it, at least at some corner of his/her mind. Same could be seen in case of better car, better mobile set, better dressing and better family background etc. All such unseen factors make the sttitude of superiors harsh. I have so many times observed it in practice.
Problem lies on both sides. Juniors sometimes show or even unwillingly/spontaneusly act to show that they are oversmart. On the other side, the superiors always intend to create undue pressure from the outset, so as to continue it till the end.
In my view the students should be determined, focussed, restricited to what is being asked with confidence and ignore if anything is treated adversely. The person who is a student, at a given time, will one day be on the other side of the table. The people who have positive minds should apply this positivity when they come to the other side of table.
We must restrict our expectations and ignore what is wrong in our view and concentrate on the ultimate objective we have.
At the same time, I would like to point out that we all should revisit our goals. No doubt bread and butter is a necessity but the goal of life must be something over and above this bread and butter.
Best regards,
Kamran
