It is a must, for job interviews, that nothing is certain untill you are in the office, in your chair and have recieved your pay check, hell its still not certain. Fcuk, took Her for granted and got screwed, as much as I feel sorry for him, he needs to learn that people will not tolerate such blunders, simply bcoz they can hire someone else and also bcoz, the need of the job was FCUK's not Her's..anyways, coming to my second point, it is a must to run any job emails by someone else, a 2nd/ 3rd pair of eye always helps point out things that we would otherwise miss. there is a reason they call it proof reading. And that email should not have lasted more than 2 paragraphs. It was one mistake over the other. I hope he learns from his mistake.ESIHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00300781676946806164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142545676444087171.post-39308606769427900402008-09-08T16:25:00.000-05:002008-09-08T16:25:00.000-05:00its very important to consult people before dashing off emails to anyone..<BR/>The person on the otehr side has never met you and he will just see what you show them (and the only point of contact right now is emails..)<BR/>so be sure that the email echoes diplomatically what you mean to say..<BR/>or else as they say,<BR/>u get fcuked!!!utsavioushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02759715287242781413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142545676444087171.post-60202187616648765632008-09-08T15:56:00.000-05:002008-09-08T15:56:00.000-05:00Just too good!!<BR/>Hilarious at the same time giving an important message to all job seekers ..Keep up the good workRandom Musingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14759239574548399853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142545676444087171.post-91728223536193049112008-01-24T20:44:00.000-05:002008-01-24T20:44:00.000-05:00So my anonymous comments have already forced disclaimers from the author (wink wink wink)<BR/><BR/>We have seen what not to do.

I mean, ultimately, he just wanted to explain his side of the story. I agree that he messed up, but I think we should focus on the bad things that can happen if we do not write mails to the best of our ability rather than commenting on the person to whom this happened. I am sure the best of us would not be in their rightful minds in case something like this happened to them.<BR/><BR/>As I said, the moral of the story is simple:<BR/>1. Re read your mail before pressing the send button.<BR/>2. If your emotions are on the boil, desist from writing an email explaining "your side" of the story. I apply a simple rule - would I write the same thing after 30 mins?<BR/>3. Be short, simple and to the point.<BR/><BR/>I would strongly recommend anyone joining consulting to take a Professional Writing class. Being in the profession for a little more than 7 months now, I realize the power of email - both for good and for the worse!!Ujjwalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00804450919595208707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142545676444087171.post-24297242119522176742008-01-23T23:46:00.000-05:002008-01-23T23:46:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ujjwalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00804450919595208707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142545676444087171.post-36896131867918870352008-01-23T21:51:00.000-05:002008-01-23T21:51:00.000-05:00Sympathies for FUCK(ooops FCUK)...<BR/>I have seen people like FCUK...and their awesome communication skills(Reminds me of one of our friends in undergrads...)..Ha ha...<BR/>Even if I don't get an opportunity to take a prof writing course, I'll make sure that I cross check my emails ;-)..<BR/>BTW where is our FCUK nowadays..(I mean in which hole).. :P<BR/><BR/>-somsomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08022494302727097316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142545676444087171.post-83055440315898292292008-01-23T21:42:00.000-05:002008-01-23T21:42:00.000-05:00I think this story tells everyone that we should think were smart but never really over do it.<BR/><BR/>The person at the other end might be the biggest #%#$%HOLE but at the end of the day she makes the decision between "getting reimbursed by MYHOLE(lol) for air tickets" and getting a 95k job ...<BR/><BR/>jyada hero kabhi nahi banna chahiye !! :-)sudeepdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142545676444087171.post-4892377611915126952008-01-23T21:19:00.000-05:002008-01-23T21:19:00.000-05:00I really sympathize with the so called FCUK in the blog first of all he got FUCKED big time and if you ask me I am preety sure he still does not know what hit him :-)<BR/><BR/>There is a silver lining to his suffering the reimbursement check and I hope that MYHOLE does not give review comments on his bio data to other HOLES !!Ankithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03073840925608765153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142545676444087171.post-41456215274267300652008-01-23T20:45:00.000-05:002008-01-23T20:45:00.000-05:00Fristly, Who on earth wants to know what happened.
