When I began my career in Mumbai three decades ago, I held a glamorous image of the IT industry and envisioned working in cubicles. However, the reality was quite different, as we were packed into a large room resembling a fish tank, with around twenty programmers sharing one space, devoid of any privacy. #ITIndustry #WorkEnvironment #CareerBeginnings Similar to Mumbai, space constraints in Tokyo, Japan, pose significant challenges for office layouts. Despite my aspirations, the dream of having my own cubicle remained unfulfilled due to the practicalities of workspace design in both cities. #OfficeSpace #UrbanConstraints #WorkCulture Join me on a journey reflecting on the evolution of workspace norms and the realities of office life in bustling metropolises like Mumbai and Tokyo. Let's explore the nuances of professional environments and how they shape our career experiences. #OfficeLife #WorkplaceCulture #CareerReflection

"Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!" - Dr. Maya Angelou The past 2 days I had the pleasure of attending the CGI's Women in Tech Career Lab webinars. Two sessions that stood out to me include 'Seizing opportunities: mapping your career success' and 'How to ROCK your job application'! Jyothi Visweswaran shared her stories on how she seized opportunities along her career journey, the importance of self-evaluation on your skills to figure out what you enjoy and are good at, and the importance of celebrating your wins no matter how small. I learned that the best way to assess if a job is a good fit is to have a checklist of core criteria (see image below). I also had the opportunity to learn from hiring managers, Kritika Menon Yvonne Hale Madhu Parmar, on how to stand out in my #jobapplication. I learned that summaries are important in #resumes to highlight an applicant's key skills aligned with the role. I am excited to put these learnings into practice! #technology #personaldevelopment #inspiration

Thanks to Shailan Patel, and the great team #NZAGE and EY, for putting on yesterday's session. EY - Winners of the 2023 Best Graduate Campaign award - Shared their tips on how to design your campaign to drive recruitment. Using various forms of social media for maximum engagement. Top takeaways; Be bold, be brave, try different things, and record the data to see what has the most impact for your target market.

I applied for my first job because a close friend of mine and I wanted to work together.   This first job was a Software engineer at Infosys.   There is so much of gyaan giving these days about what are the hot skills you need to pick. Learn this and 2X-3X your salary – says every Youtube or Insta ad ever.   Hot skills are exciting and boost employability - fair. But there is surprisingly less thought into the stuff that hugely influence your actions for finding a job.   We look for the people we know And hope to join a place where some familiarity exists.   Especially in mid-management roles common after MBA, this is what helps in charting out our growth path and trajectory.   A friend or ex-colleague recently joined some place. Someone you know from your school, college, is in the place you saw an opening – you will reach out. Or the best thing – someone you know is looking to build a team   We often focus on too much intelligence but looking up jobs is hugely influenced by the needs of familiarity. Because familiarity begets Comfort.   And this is – Same as Ever. Across ages, across generations.   What can you do – Build your network, grow your ecosystem.   And if you can, try reading Network theory – Especially the concept of dormant connects in your Network who can radically amplify your reach.
